Random thoughts running through my head when I can't sleep at this wee hour:
Thing 1 (god, I love Dr. Suess): In the faculty bathroom at my community college, they put the tampon and pad machine actually in the stall. A novel idea, so we don't have to get ourselves decent just to get a tampon and then fight for another stall to put it in, thereby making us a good five mintues later than we would have been. Anyway, what really irritates me is this. Underneath the pad side, the sign says "Feminine Napkins." Albeit, napkins is a really stupid term for them anyway, but I do understand the necessity of the "feminine" modifier. I mean, this is a country where McDonald's actually lost a law suit because a moron was not aware that the coffee she just purchased WOULD BE HOT. But what really kills me is the sign underneath the tampon side: "Feminine Tampons." Come on. a) It's in a freaking female bathroom, for god's sake. b) What the hell other kind of tampons are there? "Tampon" is not a multipurpse work.
Thing 2: We have SBC-Yahoo DSL. Everytime I open a browser window, this little advertisement comes up. Now, isn't the check I write every month enough to guarantee our not getting harassed by pop-up ads? What really irritates me even more than that, though, is its title: Free Debt. Um...what is that? I don't want the debt I acrue, muchless more debt, even if it is free. It's actually for free debt consolidation, but what moron thought of shortening the title to merely "Free Debt"? How many people out there think, "Oh, wow! I can take on extra debt without paying a cent. Sign me up, buddy!"
Seriously, now. Don't you think these bizarre thoughts should be enough to merit a perscription for a sleeping pill? Wanna contact my doctor on my behalf?

mmm....thats gotta b cool, i gueess....it would be cool to not absolutely humiliate your self in front of abunch of ppl...showing them that iuts "that time of the month" for you!...but yah, i think ppl use em!lol, they must!i know i have a few times, but thats only when you totally forget about what week it is, and you need one ASAP!lol, well gtg, peace!
Thing 1: LOL!!!!
Thing 2: You should complain. That's fucked up.
Right on!
I've never bought pads and tampons from the vending machine, but I have always thought it would be better to have them in individual stalls... At the same time though, they probably keep them where they are in most bathrooms to make re-filling them a lot easier. It would be pretty awkward standing in the restroom holding a big thing of tampons and pads, waiting for chicks I don't know to come out of their stalls. I would then giggle and explain, "Tee hee. I'm just replenishing the almighty paddage! Don't mind me! Would ya like to buy one before I install these? I'm having a sale - 2 for 50 cents." I'm just being silly, but nevertheless, that's probably why they usually keep them outside of the stalls. Then AGAIN, I've NEVER seen anyone ever re-fill those things or use them. Do people use them?
I'm tired of pop up ads too. Don't they know that the majority of clicks they're getting are from people trying to CLOSE the damned things!?!
Nice "Thing" references. I love Seuss too! Geisel forever.
Hmmm... I guess if you need a sleeping pill, then I need one t-zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
