Things that make you go ARRRGGHHH!! [View all]

Standing in line at the convenience store today when the two folks in front of me turn out to be acquaintances meeting up after not seeing each other for a while. The woman is noticeably pregnant. The man congratulates her on her pregnancy.

Woman, disgusted: "Yeah, I'm having a girl."

Man: "Sucks, doesn't it?"

Woman: "Yeah, me and my husband, we don't want no damn girl."

Man, looking askance: "Um... you might want to be careful saying that, you know."

Woman: "I don't care who knows. I don't want no damn girl."


Sheesh. Good luck to that little girl.
