Filing Bankruptcy Is A Lot To Deal With

.... But, sometimes you've got to "Put On Your Big Girl Panties And Deal With It"!!

Yesterday I had the joy of venturing down to Oxford, MS to handle a few creditors meetings for some cases our office filed. Very routine and simple and usually painfully boring. Now, this usually confuses people when I say I'm going to "Court" and I try to explain that there is no Judge present and the hearing is not held in a courtroom, but that isn't really relevant here. If anyone has ever been present in any sort of proceeding in a consumer bankruptcy case or criminal case, then you know many people do not dress up for court. This has become routine and unremarkable to me. Often times my clients are coming from work and they just come as they are, no big problem at all. There is no jury, we don't have to really worry about how the client is being perceived as far as style of dress goes . If anything I would tell a client to not be too flashy, you are after all saying you cannot afford to pay your debts. Well yesterday, I'm sitting in the back of the rooming, reading my book killing the half an hour before my client's case is called and I look up to notice a mid-30ish woman....

This woman is wearing a bright pink t-shirt and I can only see her back. I TAKE A LOOK AT THE BACK OF HER T-SHIRT AND WRITTEN IN A MIXTURE OF CURSIVE AND BUBBLE LETTERS IS THE SLOGAN "PUT YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES ON AND DEAL WITH IT" .... IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS HOT MESS OF SCREEN PRINTED LETTERS IS A DRAWING OF ZEBRA PRINTED PANTIES. Ahahahhahahahhaha, I nearly fell over laughing, seriously I was trying to keep quiet as to not call attention to myself. Why would someone have this shirt?????? First question that I cannot come up with a conceivable answer to, but we're just going to skip to the second question.... WHY WOULD YOU PICK OUT THIS T-SHIRT TO WEAR TO A COURT PROCEEDING???????? Who cares that you don't really need to dress up for this hearing, I am confident to say, you should not be wearing that!!!!!!!!!

Too Hungry For A Fork??

My uber-glamorous job takes me to the giant metropolis of Southaven, Mississippi approximately twice a month. There are a couple of good things in Southaven (their Marshall's isn't as picked over, they have a Chick-fil-a that is not currently under construction or renovation, their tanning bed is REALLY nice) but mostly its pretty boring and I hate having to go down there. The real bright shining star or going to Southaven for work usually revolves around a large feast at the Waffle House on Church Road (its the best one in the Haven ... trust me, I've tried them all). Ever since briefly attending college in the state of Georgia, where my beloved Waffle House was first opened, I've been a HUGE fan of this restaurant. Unfortunately up here in Memphis there isn't such a lovely establishment in neighborhoods I regularly frequent, so such delightful feasts are reserved for trips to the Haven. Today was no exception, I waltzed into my favored WH and sauntered up to the counter ordered my All Star breakfast with the necessary modifications and proceeded to get my book out of my handbag and commence reading when I saw something fascinating out of the corner of my eye............

A middle-aged over-weight most likely just got off his shift as a security guard and didn't have time to change out of his extra official uniform prior to rushing to the WH to have a delicious meal and hit on that hot little waitress celebrating her 20th birthday. Now this would usually not rise to the level of a "funny person" in my eyes, but his behavior set him over the edge. MR. SECURITY WAS EATING A T-BONE STEAK WITH HIS HANDS AS IF IT WERE A CHEESEBURGER. NO NEED FOR A KNIFE AND FORD WHEN YOU CAN JUST PICK IT UP AND GNAW ON IT!!!! And what would one wash down such a tasty steak with but a 20oz glass of delicious red Hi-C fruit punch, ha!! I nearly squealing with glee upon seeing this scene. Not even 11am and I've already spotted a "funny person" you know its going to be a good day!!

I'm Not Sure...

What is it that I am not sure of you might ask??

Well I'm not sure if I am more observant than most people or if I just see more funny stuff than most people. My friends tend to believe its a combination of both and I have to agree. Lately I've seen all kinds of crazy people and I have taken to sending out a mass text describing an individual that is either wearing something ridiculous, doing something ridiculous, or some combination thereof. These people I tend to see at least once a day but often times more make me laugh (sometimes just a chuckle, sometimes a full on oh geez I might pee my pants I need to get control of myself) hence the title of my blog. In response to one of these mass texts sent recently a friend responded I should start trying to get pictures of these people who make me laugh and post a blog about my average everyday adventures that keep me cracking up constantly. While I thought this was an excellent idea upon further consideration, the lawyer in me got the best of me. I see myself getting into heaps of trouble posting pictures on the internet of people who did not know they were photographed or much less that I would use such a photograph to poke fun of their actions and/or appearance. That being said, I've decide to paint a picture with my words of these funny people I see. Hopefully it is as funny to you as it is to me.

I've got to maintain a thin veil of anonymity because honestly there are probably a significant number of people out there that probably think my picture needs to be on a blog just like this (for both actions and appearance) quite regularly. This is a blog to make fun of others not me, so I stay anonymous. Please feel free to submit stories of funny people you see. You can reach me at funnypeopleisee@gmail.com. Happy people watching!!!
