Just a bunch of random experiances of mine.
Okay. Storytime.
I don't tell many people, but I have a (kinda) famous uncle. We went to a Mexican place for dinner one night while he was in town. I just happen to personally know the daughter of the owner of said Mexican place, and for some reason my mom brought it up to my uncle.
I thought it was no big deal at first. Then the waitress came and asked if we needed anything. I guess somebody at the table complained they were hot, because my uncle asked the waitress if she could lower the AC. However, he also told her that he knew the owner in a threating tone.
After the waitress leaves, I look at him and tell him to stop guilt tripping the waiters, because none of us actually know the owner (Again, I just know the guy's daughter). He replies by saying that we might get free desert, and I retaliate by saying I don't really want desert (which I didn't; That Mexican place has really good rice).
So the waitress comes out with our food, and my uncle again 'reminds' the her that he knows the owner. Embarassed, I quickly tell her that we don't know the owner and that she doesn't have to feel obligated to dish out free desert or other priviliges.
Moral of the story: If your friend knows someone improtant, don't put them on the stop. It's awkward for everyone.

Storytime.
So, We have a mini van, one of those big fancy ones with the built in wifi, touchscreen, seatwarmers, big windows, etc. Antoher feature is the remote instead of keys which the car can detect. Remember that, It'll come up again.
So me and my mom and sisters all got in the car one day and drove to the pool and swam for a couple hours. By the time we got out, it was dinner, so mom went home so she could grab her phone to get free goodies at Chick-fil-a (If you've never been there, you my friends are missing out!). So she drove back to the house and left us in the car with the engine running and came back a moment later with her phone.
We went to get our meals to go, but on the way back, the gas tank was running low. Naturally, we stopped for gas. When mom went to start the engine after refueling, however, the touchscreen notified us that the keys weren't in the car.
Well, we searched the entire car, but there was no sign of the keys anywhere. We then realized that mom had left them in the house when she went to get her phone.
We were stranded.
Fortunately, We called the neighbor to run into the house and get the keys for us.
Moral of this story: Never leave the house with out your keys, especially if you have a car with remote keys.

Storytime.
I hate shots. I hate vaccines. Why? You might ask?
Here are a few experiances of mine involving vaccines.
-I got the flu shot. Then I got the flu.
-I got the flu shot again. The nurse had to get a Marine to hold my arm down this time. Then I got the flu again.
-I got the chicken pox shot. I broke out in a rash two days later. I thought it was poison ivy. It was actaully chicken pox.
-I got the flu shot a third time. I went to the hospital that night because nothing that went in my stomach stayed there and got an IV. Do you see the pattern yet?
-I got the tetnus shot.
....
That's the only one that I remember worked out okay. It even hurt less the the other vaccines.
-My sister got the pnamonia shot. She got pnamonia and almost died. They put her on antibotics, which cured her pnamonia, but wrecked her gut flora. She's okay right now though.
Please don't take this as me going all 'anti-vaccination'. I'm totally for it, but only if they are tested properly (no-toxic placebos) and confirmed to actually work.

Wow. I can definitely see why you don't like them. There was one shot I took that made pass out from the unexpected pain. I've been antsy around them ever since. (Even though I can't say so in front of my family, since I have a little brother and sister who like them even less, and if I complained, there would be tantrums.)

Storytime.
So, I was doing some homework for health class (Which is a required course for me). The assignment was to find out my family's health history. Simple, right?
Anyway, I asked my aunt (Who is a doctor, by the way, but that isn't important to this.) if my famous uncle (who I already mentioned in a different post) had any medical conditions.
I don't know what was going through her head at that moment, but her immidiate response was that he had Narcissism.
We laughed until my jaws hurt.
And before you ask, no, He doesn't actually have a mental disorder, but he can act pretty selfish at times. He has Selfie Syndrome.
