PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
SIGH! *hangs head in shame* It reminds me off a time I was trying to swear at a cabbie who was trying to rip us off in Buenos Aires. We had already taken a cab trip from the airport to our hotel a few days befoe and it cost 12 pesos (at the time 1 peso = 1 USD and $1 CDN = 0.63 USD). The new cabbie figured we had just flown in internationally and didn't know any better, locked our luggage in the trunk and told us it would be 40 pesos. I flipped out and wanted to say to him along the lines of "You lying POS, you are trying to rob us it is WAY too much money". And then I realized he now had our luggage hostage. Unfortunately, I forgot I didn't know spanish (much less how to swear in it), so all that came out was "MUY" . MUY! MUY! MUY! I screamed over and over again. Then BF-now DH and cabby were dumbfounded and more than a little scared of this crazy lady screaming "Very, very, very" and starting to bang the trunk. Onlookers were starting to gather, so the cabby grabbed our bags, threw them at us and sped away. So we got our bags back, took another cab and it cost us 11.50. DH, who does know a little Spanish figure I meant to say something along the lines of "demasiado dinero". On the other hand, there is a slight chance the cabbie will think twice about ripping off some other touristas. Thankfully, this was before you-tube.
And DH absolutely refuses to apply for any reality tv shows with me.
