Literal People Crack My Shit Up!
Over the weekend I went to the Croxley Ale House with Alyssa, Lad & Lesley. Nothin' classier than four chicks casually downing cheap beers and even cheaper chicken wings ;)
I digress ...
We ordered the mild wings and let me tell ya, the small little container of blue cheese dressing didn't stand a chance against this little fatty.
So I said to the waitress, "Hey while we have you, can we also get a couple more sides of blue cheese and a handful of those wet-nap thingies?"
Mind you, there were four of us sitting at the table so I had to chuckle when the waitress brought back two containers of dressing and exactly five wet-naps.
I wondered if she really was that literal of a person, that a "couple" meant 2 so a handful obviously meant 5.
And for reasons unknown, I felt like I needed to know the answer. So the next time she came around I asked for a "few" more napkins and giggled to myself when she brought back exactly 3 of them.
This intrigued me! I couldn't help to zone out for a sec to wonder what life would be like with a mind like that ... What would it be like to be a literal person?
Does she wake up at the exact same time everyday?
Like, at exactly 7:53am?
(However I'd bet $ that she's an even number person)
Better yet, has she ever once used the snooze button?
Or would that throw off her day?!
I wondered how many would she have brought if I ordered "a bunch" or "a bundle" of something? Would she have asked me to clarify?
I laughed to myself wondering what this type of person would do if someone said to her, "Let's meet around 5ish" ... Would she still arrive right at 5? Lord knows I would not ;)
Then I took another sip of beer and my mind wandered back to our mild meal ... literally ;)
