If that title doesn't grab your attention nothing will. I was at a local car wash a few weeks ago to get my car cleaned. I was too busy to do it myself and thought this would do for the time being. There was no way of knowing what a strange day I was about to have. I sat in my car for 20 minutes before some one came out to give me my ticket, which was fine because I was just listening to the radio and figuring out what other errands I had to do for the day. The guy that gave me my ticket told me it would be an hour an ten minutes of wait time. Since they have free internet and television I figured what the heck.
So, I rushed in to get something cold to drink and pay for my car wash. Luckily there was one computer open for me to surf the web while I waited. I played a few games on yahoo and chatted with a few friends. Sitting at the computer sipping my sweet ice tea I heard this little girl being very loud and annoying. Constantly saying, "mommy, mommy, mommy...." you get the idea. Finally, this mother took two seconds from her cell phone and asked, "what? I"m on the phone!" The little girl asked, "what are they doing mommy?" The mother asked, "who?" And the little girl pointed and said, "the people on tv, they look funny."
And yup that's when the mom got off her cell phone and went into a fit! Myself and a few other people turned to see what the child had been making such a fuss over and we were all quite shocked. And it wasn't just porno, it was some weird crazy type of porno. There were people in leather outfits with rubber balls stuck in their mouths as if they were going to be roasted like a pig with an apple in it's mouth. Basically I really just didn't want to see that, nor did I expect it. I guess none of us realized what was on the tv because it was a flat screen mounted to the wall above the second entrance to the place right next to the windows where you can watch your car pass through and there was no sound on it that was audible unless you were standing straight under it.
The young girl that was the cashier couldn't find the remote and was too short to reach the tv to turn it off. Appearntly from where she was standing there was too much glare from the sun of the windows from the opposite side of the room which made viewing what was on the screen impossible. Eventually one of the other customers grabbed a chair and was just barely able to reach the power button. And off it went, then on went the mothers mouth. I don't blame her, that crap doesn't have any business being on in the car wash lobby, it's not a sex shop. So while she was chewing off this girl's ear I headed to the other side of the lobby and sat under the patio where my car was being dried off. And if that mother had been outside she would have had more fire power. Not that the radio station that they had on would be their fault but there was a commercial for abstenence that wanted everyone to practice masturbation that wasn't married. There were a few people from inside that had seen what went on and were kind of chuckling and shaking their heads. It was actually kind of funny. Eventually everyone outside started laughing. Although I don't think the mother inside would have found it so funny if she were to have been out there with us. Oh well! Life, there's never a dull moment!
