Phrases Mandy Hates

In the past I have started segments here on Mainly Mandy that I stick to for a little bit and then they go by the wayside, this will probably be the same way, but I decided to start a new thing...

PHRASES MANDY HATES!

Are there certain phrases that people use that just completely irritate you, I have several. To start out this little segment I will tell you one that irks me to no end...

Using baby girl as a term of endearment.

example: It's so good to see you, Baby Girl, how have you been?

I don't know where this nickname came from, the only thing I can figure out is it started getting used quite often after Sugarland released, Baby Girl. When the song first came out, I'm not going to lie, I thought it was a catchy little diddy. Now, it makes me grit my teeth.

It really bothers me when refer to their adult daughters this way...

That's my baby girl over there.

Really, that 20 year old sitting there with her thong sticking out of the back of her pants, chugging beer out of a beer bong is your baby girl?

And it REALLY irritates me when someone refers to me as their "baby girl." Especially when it's one of my good ol' boy customers.

Baby girl, do you think you can get a man on the phone so I can ask him what kind of hydraulic oil I need to put in my forklift?

I am 34 years old and been in this industry for 10 years now, I think I can help you.

It even bothers me when people refer to kids as baby girl.

My baby girl starts 2nd grade today.

I'm sorry, but if you are no longer wearing diapers, you should never be referred to as baby girl!

Until next time...

Mandy

Thanks For Blowing Me Off!

Friday night, I got together with some of my alumni girls. I always call them my Young Ones, because none of them are 30 yet. And, apparently when I'm with My Young Ones I think that I'm not 30 yet. Well, that's not true, My Young Ones act like I'm not 30 yet. So, needless to say, I got INTOXICATED Friday night. I think I've stated before that I'm a beer girl, I'm not into fruity drinks and I don't like shots, except for one...Jagermeister. Jager and I have been good friends since 2002 or 2003. I don't mean Jager Bombs, I'm talking straight Jager.

Anyway, so I'm sitting at the table with JoLyn - 28, Lindsey - 23, Alicia - 27 (who is the bartender there) and Terry, JoLyn's boyfriend - 29. NONE OF THESE PEOPLE WERE BORN BEFORE 1980! I'm not sure how many shots of Jager Alicia brought me, all I know is I didn't order but one of them. Back to the story...We're sitting there and all of a sudden JoLyn looks at me and says...

JoLyn: You're not going to believe who just walked in.
Me: Who?
JoLyn: Mexican Seth Rogen.

Do y'all remember Mexican Seth Rogen?

And, my faithful readers, when I looked up I saw him standing there with another friend of mine. So, I looked at my friends and said, "I'm going to say hi to Mem!"

After a brief conversation with Mem, I looked at him and he said...

MSR: Hi, Amanda! How are you?
Me: I'm good. How are you?
MSR: I'm great.

And if I hadn't already been creepy enough...I pull the creepy drunk girl...

Me: That's good. You blew me off!
MSR: No I didn't.
Me: What the eff ever! Yes you did. How's your daughter doing?
MSR: She's good. I have a second daughter now, she's 8 months old.
Me: THANK YOU FOR BLOWING ME OFF!!! I want no part of your fertileness!

With that I turned around and walked away. The next morning, in my haze of feeling like hammered asshole, I realized something...

I'm no mathematician, but I do believe that girl was pregnant when he and I started talking. So, maybe I wasn't creepy girl...maybe he's just fertile jackass boy.

Nah, I'm sure my creepiness had a little to do with it...and I'm sure my confronting him in the middle of the bar didn't help my claims of normalcy. Oh well! :)

Until next time...
