Ouch
August 17, 2006 at 3:38 pm | Posted in More than you ever wanted to know about me..., The Sweet Life | 13 CommentsJust five coincident facts that will have my pumpwearing pals wincing in sympathy:
1. Doorknob
2. 23″ Tubing
3. Carrying hot coffee
4. Cute, ass-enhancing, relatively new (and now elegantly coffee-stained) jeans
5. Formerly off-white carpet
P.S. Is anyone else disturbed by word verification combinations that include the letter “Q” not followed by “U”? Or am I just unspeakably uptight?

While doorknobs are indeed nifty inventions, and I never use 23″ tubing (’cause I hate it), and I’m not a coffee drinker (aka, a freak), and I don’t own any cute, ass-enhancing jeans (and a funny picture leaps to mind by the mere mention of such), I still feel your pain.
And PS, I love unspeakably uptight. I’m the same way about so many things (though not so much on the word verification bit). E.g., “PIN number.” I can’t put into words the physical discomfort I feel when I hear such things. It drives me CrAzY!

Oh man – that’s a recipe for disaster right there. Suckage.
And yes, that is quite unspeakably uptight…

Been there, done that, but with knobs on an oven. Oy.

Doorknobs haunted me for a full six months after I started pumping. It wasn’t until I moved the site to my thigh that my ratio of Pump:Doorknob Chaos subsided.
And yes, I am tremendously traumatized by the word verifications. I can’t help but try and pronounce them to myself, which makes my head hurt and my mouth get tangled. š

Oh my. I’m not a pumper, but ow!
And Kevin, I feel your PIN number pain. I’m a copy editor and proofreader. I live in the unspeakably uptight world…for me, that’s where perfection lies!

Yikes! Sorry. I hate 23inch tubing too.

Ouch! And damn about the jeans.
Re: word verification, I love to try to make words out of them but my husband hates it as he is from Adelaide where all the anal Australians are created.

OK..it wasn’t until I read the comments that I had a hell of a chance of understanding what the f*ck you were talking about. Gotcha. And as for the work verification thing….I hate when they put q in because I can’t tell it apart from g. Well, I can now…and wouldn’t you know that there is both an q and g to help me out this time!

BTW – I am not commenting on your ass because I think it will get me into trouble not only with phili, but Cheryl as well!

Just one more comment if I may,….I thought you meant shoes when you said, Pump wearing pals…and I just couldn’t see you in pumps! I know, I know….

My word verification has a u with no q. Fine. But, yeah, a q with no u? Very upsetting! I also, for the record, don’t believe in those Scrabble words that have a q with no u.
