Welcome to another edition of I Comment Therefore I Am, where I put together a post from comments I’ve left on other blogs. Below are some of my favorite posts from the previous week and what they inspired me to say.
The Urban Cowboy asked for input on what sucks for you when someone else is sick?
It sucks if they have a cough and you’ve spent the whole day taking care of them and you are exhausted and want to sleep, but they keep you awake with their hacking and you care, but damn it you’re tired!!!
The Absence of Alternatives did an “I Comment Therefore I Am” post last week about the discussion/confrontation that occurred in the comments section of a post she had read. I had read the same post…
I had to stop myself from going back to that post because I would just get pissed off. I couldn’t even make myself watch the whole video because it made me feel embarrassed. You know when someone is saying or doing something so embarrassing, but they aren’t embarrassed so I have to feel embarrassed for them.Awhile back, my husband came home with a book for me that he didn’t know anything about, but he said the title reminded him of me. What was the title? “Bitch: In Praise of Difficult Women”. He truly meant it as a compliment. I have never pretended to be easy. The song “Hard Headed Woman” by Cat Stevens also reminds my husband of me and he loves me the way I am, which is good because I do me really well.
For those of you that do not know the song I am referring to, it goes like this:
TechnoBabe shared a post with an example of the word adultery used incorrectly as a child. I used to do that all the time.
When I was a little girl my would have friends over to play cards and they would outstay their welcome as far as I was concerned. I used to go into the room they were in and yell, “Vayanse Adulteros!” I thought I was saying, “Adults, leave!”, but what I was really saying was, “Adulterers leave!” I guess none of them were adulterers because they would just laugh hysterically and stay.
Aunt of 14 shared an embarrassing moment that had me in stitches, then she challenged me to share one too.
I was working by myself at a place that sold toiletries and I really had to go to the bathroom, but I hated leaving the floor unattended. I went to the bathroom and rushed because I could hear that a customer had come in. When I went out, I saw that it was a man in a wheelchair. I offered him help and showed him around. I would walk in front of him and he would follow behind. Well, he seemed to have no interest in buying anything, but he just kept following me around. Finally, he left and I went behind the counter and put my hand on my hips. That’s when I felt a huge lump where I had tucked my dress into my underwear and I had been leading this man around the store with my backside on display!
That’s it for this edition of I Comment Therefore I Am.

I loved your adulterers comment. very funny story.
Meeko Fabulous says
I'm so glad I don't wear dresses . . . I'd be doing stuff like that all the time!
Donda Bagshaw Flores says
The dress/tuck thing! FABULOUS!
Auntnikki12 says
That adulterer story was hilarious!!!!
lisleman says
good thing the Adulteros and your backside display episodes were not combined.
That's a good Cat Stevens (who changed his name to something I forgot) but my favorite is "Father and Son"
(oh it takes about a minute for him to tune up)

Tina says
Oh my….I too have fallen victim to the tucking of the dress into my underpants. It's humiliating!
Best,
Tina
Eva Gallant says
Love the dress tucked in your underwear. That happened to me once, but a kind lady told me just as I was getting in the elevator of the parking garage on my to work. She saved me so much embarrassment, and I was soooo grateful!
macey says
Nice. Your butt was right in his face too since he was in a chair. LOL
lisleman says
hey if you want to pop over to A Few Clowns Short, I'm pretty sure you could figure out my latest pic challenge. The guesses have narrowed it down already.
Kristen (@handshouseheart) says
Oh my goodness. I can't believe you wandered around showing some man your backside without knowing. lol. I think I would have turned beet red! I also enjoyed your comment about telling the adulterers to leave. That sounds like something I would have done!! 😉
steven anthony says
I hate when my dress gets tucked in my undies…lol
Lifeisaphoenix says
I once worked in on a floor with about 100 people and I saw one of the woman who tucked her skirt in in the bathroom walk across the floor. I nearly broke my neck trying to tell her quickly. Poor woman.
Lynn says
I hear of those TP stories but have always wondered if they were just made up. I guess not!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. It has been crazy around my house. Hope you are doing well.

🙂 The one you left where you said you talked to your husband about HIS vision? (That you'd have his eyesight checked in 5, 10, then 100 years?) That was one of the funniest comments on that very long, and often not-so-funny, thread. I love your comments. They are like pieces of gems you leave behind you when you go out for a stroll.
whendidibecomemymom says
🙂 a los adulteros!
You must have been a cute kid, or else ur mom must have been so embarrassed!
gaelikaa says
This is a great idea and I've been thinking about doing this for a while. I'm a bit disorganised, therefore I'll see if I can come up with a post for next week or the week after and if I do, I'll get back. Meanwhile, I'll keep visiting!
Cheeseboy says
I need to start shopping at your place of business. These are always my favorite posts.
Mayvinay says
Woho!! that's worse then embarassment, really. had a very good laugh though..:)
Dr Daniel L Jones says
It could be worse. You could be half awake after a night of being kept awake by the coughing one, coming down with the cough yourself, while giving rear shows to random gentlemen. Nothing says professional like a sleepy coughing exhibitionist!
AngelCel says
Oh dear – I was intrigued and followed back to see the wives 'Summer Challenge' video and uh-oh what is all that about? It made me feel frustrated and a little sad – this lady is totally misguided Any man I've ever known would think that I'd completely lost my marbles if I started behaving like this. So would I take part in this challenge? As my daughter would say: I think I'd rather eat my own head.
mrsblogalot says
LOL!!! That was the funniest embarrassing moment ever…because it didn't happen to me this time (-:
Heatheroftheeo says
This is such a creative idea!
And your embarrassing story=HILARIOUS.
Romina says
hahaha me hiciste reír mucho!!! Que idea tan creativa y original está la de los comentarios convertidos en post!
Un abrazo!
Rene W. says
I am terrified of that happening – good think I don't wear dresses very often! I love Cat Stevens – good music 🙂
