Today I heard people really engaged in conversation about the most mundane thing.

How are you able to carry on a conversation about how you went to get gas at the Sunoco at the roundabout?

Or talking about your tire pressure sensor?


Idk but I have better things to think about and do. How are ya’ll able to do this?

Let me tell you about me going to the car wash today
@itsok yeah what happened at the car wash girl, did you pay extra for wax?

@Pressure do you think I’m rich? Absolutely not. Basic wash for us peasants.
Now settle in.
First, I decide I’m going to the car wash, because I’m picking someone up tomorrow.
I go to the car wash.
For some reason my internet is ALWAYS spotty only in their parking lot, and you have to use the app to pay, because their machines always mess up when you use cash or card.
So I get in line, it’s taking forever to load. It finally pops up. I choose soft touch, BASIC WASH (I know my place)
I go through the car wash, nothing out of the ordinary. I take my time using the dryer even though there’s someone in line behind me. (My therapist would be proud, might bring it up in my session tomorrow)
When I get out of the wash I pull up to the area where you can vacuum out your car.
I remove trash from my car. I decide it’s kinda dusty, so I went to one of the vending machines to grab one of those car interior sponges.
Quarters in hand. I put the (4) quarters in the machines and nothing happens. I press the button and 8 quarters come out.
I’m perplexed. I look at the machine and the door is partially opened. I push it closed and it opens back up. I glance inside the machine and I could just grab those sponges.
Feeling a little panicked now. I just want my sponge.
I see someone has refilled the machine and didn’t lock it back up. Two locks and several keys are on top of the machine.
I go back to my car and call their support person, who said she’s calling the owner.
I asked her if I can leave my money and take a sponge out of the machine. She said she doesn’t know.
Then I sit in my car and watch that machine, fully prepared to attack anyone who notices the machine is open, and tries to steal all the sponges, because ONE WILL BE MINE.
20 minutes later the owner shows up and said he got distracted yesterday. I gave him my money and got my sponge.

End scene.
Then I went and got sushi and shrimp tempura.

Let me know if you want to hear about me feeding my niece’s cats because she’s on vacation.
