First off, I would like to make some things clear:
1. This is NOT a religious debate thread so if you have come in to argue your view points...no one's going to listen because it is not one of those threads...and really, what is really more meaningless and a waste of time than trying to convert people-really!?
2. I am by no stretch of the imagination an Atheist. I believe in everything under God including God himself, the possibilities that God is male, female, both or neither and the possibility that at times there can be no God. All things are true but the emphasis is not on what, but on where and when.
Okay with that cleared up I'll get to my point.
Now I'm sure that all of you at one time or another have found yourself trapped in this situation (if you haven't then consider yourself to be very lucky) or maybe you are the one to trap unsuspecting people in said situation...and if you are he he STOP IT! SHUT UP RIGHT NOW! Especially when you are talking to little kids. Just think about it...when you were five or even sixteen did you want to hear about this crap he he NO!
I was at work and bagging for this old lady and happened to see her buy...dog food, dog toy and dog treats so I do as I always do in that situation: I ask what kind of dog she has for as a dog owner myself...I'm always curious about these things. Anyway, she tells me and also tells me that after she's done shopping, she's going to go and pick up her dog and drive her--for what could be--the last time back to her house because her dog is 12 years old.
Now I think as well as say "Ah that is so sad."
And then she says, "ah yes I know but she is just getting so old and can hardly move anymore-"
Then I say, "no stop you're going to make me cry."
Then she says, "oh please don't. Because I was like that before, crying all of the time but then God..." <--keeps talking
Then right then I think, "Oh God...heeeere we go!"
For some damn ass reason, I tend to bring this out in people and I know it's not going to be some two second sermon OH NO! These people are going to ramble on for five to ten minutes.
All the time she's rambling on and on about this "enlightened" experience I'm thinking, "Okay, think back...what did I doooo....or saaaay so I can avoid this little conversation all together the next time?
I swear...you are never more uncomfortable then when someone that you don't know (hell, even if you know them) is talking to you about God and their religious views...go on try to think of an even more uncomfortable situation I dare YOU!
Man all through out that "conversation" (you see I was just nodding at the right parts and not really listening) I was fighting the urge to just say, "SHUT UP GOD I DON'T CARE! I DON'T GIVE A F*CK! All I wanted to know was what kind of dog you have-just SHUT THE HELL UP! :angry:"
I swear I was even more uncomfortable than when earlier this older guy than I am (like around forty-five) kept on calling me Honey all the while I checking him and bagging for him. During that time I kept on thinking, "wow, I'm really uncomfortable right now...I better get this guy out of here before I have to call one of my managers to come over to hose his ass down." So I did and quickly sent him on his way. After which I thought, well, that was unpleasant well at least it is over..."
But then "...and then God..."
Ahhh geeze! So I am the only one that this happens to or are there others...please share. :)
