Dude - Why Would You Ask Me?
Home Life, Rants and Raves - - Posted on May, 19 at 6:05 am
Seriously, that was my immediate response to one of our neighbors this morning when he asked me what has to be one of the stupidest questions ever.
I was just outside clearing debris in front of the irrigation gate so that we could irrigate when a neighbor drove up. Now, see, we are literally right next to the canal so when people drive up to open the gate that will feed water into the concrete ditch that will transport it down the street they pretty much drive into our dive way. So as I’m kneeling there clearing the weeds and shoveling out the dirt that has built up there from the last irrigation, our neighbor comes up to me and asks for some “pet care” advice. Okay, no big, right?
Except that, the pet he asks about is his horse and he has questions about horse supplements and transportation.
First thing out my mouth is a dumbfounded “why ask me?”. I’ve ridden horses, yeah, but never owned one. His response though just about killed me. He thought I would know since we live close to a horse farm.
Using his logic, he wold be more knowledgeable than me since he lives down the road and actually closer to the horse farm than we do.
Maybe it was too early for him and he hadn’t had his cup of coffee yet? I know I haven’t even finished my first can of Dr. Pepper yet and thus I am not fully functional yet. Yeah, that’s gotta be it.

So you can help me via e-mail with not only upgrading my personal computer, but upgrading it as well as replacing the processor and possibly overclocking as well as installing some neat little neons to go with the fan in the back and on the side… did I mention I needed help putting it all in a sleek clear casing?
You own a computer, so I figured, you know - you were an expert on them.
People like that always make me smirk - just because you are in the general vicinity of something, all of a sudden you’re wearing a sign that reads “I’m here, therefore, I know something.”
How very weird. Maybe he’d be better off going to the horse farm and asking someone who works there?
maybe you just look like the type of hip chickie that would be full of knowledge about all things horses….LOL
Hey, email me when you get some time. How far are you from Roswell?
Wow um, maybe he was just trying to hit on you and asked a question about anything that popped into mind?
That kind of logic always makes me laugh. =)
