My co-worker is a fountain of misinformation!! 5/14 the day has come page 130

[CinderellaIam]

So after lunch, she tells me that she thought about it and went out and bought a gift. I naively asked her what she got...(are you sitting down??)

A 4 X 6 picture frame from the dollar store.

Now, if she was strapped for cash I would not say a WORD about buying something from the dollar store. But this is the woman who goes to Macy's every two/three months and spends hundreds of dollars on clothes for her 21 month old granddaughter. Never sale items.

Just when I think she can't surprise me anymore...

 

[dmslush]

Ah, but it's on your ticker....quick everyone, make plans to go to WDW in 5 months, 2 weeks and 2 days......



Sorry, just had to

Just make sure and bring me a dollar store picture frame!

I want to be the Fly on THAT wall at the Wedding......

 

[lovetoscrap]

There are just no words.

I can't decide if I should be shocked or if I should just LMAO!!! I am just sorry that I have to wait until Monday to hear how this turns out.

Wonder if Miss I will put a lovely photo of HER family in the frame since they are just like family .

 

[gradtchr]

Thank you so much for the laugh I am seriously crying over here on this one. Should she bring a dollar store frame. I hope she forgets to take the price tag off so the bride can laugh at it even more later!

Claire you need to tell her to do just that...tell her it is in poor taste to give an empty picture frame and etiquette says you should put your own picture in it when giving it as a gift.

So I ask Miss Info what she's doing for the weekend. (not an unusual conversation for us on a Wednesday) and she tells me she's going to a wedding.

Me - Oh! Who's getting married?

Miss Info - Our old neighbor's daughter.

Me - That was nice of them to invite you.

Miss Info - Weeeellll... we weren't actuall invited since it's just a small wedding for family, but _______ (insert dh name) and I figure we are kind of like family so we're just going to show up for a little while.

Me -

Miss Info - What? It will be fine, they'll be happy to see us.

Me - Are you taking a gift?

Miss Info - Do you think I should? I mean, after all we really weren't invited.

At that point in time I was rendered speechless and just stared at her.

She needs to pop over to the Budget board and read the thread about how much money to give as a wedding present and "covering the cost of your plate" with your check to the happy couple. She may think twice about crashing the wedding.

I am so very pleased that you see her for the entertainment value she brings to your day .... otherwise she would drive you to drinking

Darn you ..... you spoiled her surprise

I am in love with this thread! I cannot believe that she would be so stupid, but from what I read I totally can!

 

[Shugardrawers]

All I have to say is http://www.etiquettehell.com/index.shtml She's not making this stuff up folks, it happens EVERY day

You know, I've often sent some real doozies from that site to my friends. Sometimes the timing couldn't be better if I'd planned it You know, sometimes email addresses show up on my contact list and for the life of me I just can't remember who they are or how I met them

Bwahahaha!

 

[LuluLovesDisney]

I can't believe I just found this thread tonight. I am sure that the dollar store picture frame will make her crashing of their wedding much more acceptable. This woman is really funny!

 

[texasthumper]

We had a tiny, family-only wedding here in our small town and it miffed most of my parents' friends, but they all respected our wishes. I cannot imagine what I would have done if our next-door neighbors had pulled into the church parking lot that morning. I feel so sorry for that bride and groom.

Let's just hope that child takes after the other side of the gene pool!

It's Monday!!!


She's a little ticked off about the wedding. Seems that no one was that happy to see them. They showed up at the church and the mother of the bride was surprised to see them after the ceremony. (I bet she was)

Then when they weren't quite sure where the reception was, they just followed someone from the church to the recption hall.

Of course they plopped themselves down at a table and she was quite shocked when they had to set up two more chairs somewhere at another table for another couple. Her comment: didn't this place know how to count chairs? (Well yeah, they had the right amount for the INVITED GUESTS!)

And then it sounds like you made your dinner selection when you returned your response card, so when the waitress came around and asked what they ordered, of course they didn't know what was being served. So the waitress tells them that all that they have extras of is the chicken. Everyone else at their table either had steak or lobster tail. She doesn't understand why she couldn't of had one of those selections.

Oh and she wrapped her picture frame in tissue paper and made a card on the computer. Her last comment to me was that she had BETTER get a thank you card for that frame.

 

[Laura]

What a loony!

 

[Bethy Lou]

Wow, I absolutely cannot believe this woman! I love reading about her crazy butt though!

 

[CinderellaIam]

OMG. Seriously, I wonder what color the sky is in her world...cause she can't possibly inhabit the world of the sane!

 

[PhotobearSam]

OMG!!!

What a fruit cake...So rude...Awful...How do you not strangle her on a daily basis.

I nominate Evil Genius for Sainthood.
