1. At a party with people my age. Someone asks, “What the heck is a ‘podcast’?”, with air quotes and an eyeroll.
2. At the laundromat, when I was a quarter short. The resulting scramble to find one lousy quarter was awkward to the point of pain, and ended with me buying a three dollar bottle of diet coke. There is something about laundromats that sucks all of the grace out of me.
3. Going to a Christian church with a friend and having someone ask, “It’s a great day to be saved and redeemed by Jesus! You ARE saved and redeemed, right?”
Here’s what you should do the next time these happen again:
1. Do the z-snap at the kid
2. Go up to the counter and ask for a quarter from the laundry lady, tell her you haven’t eaten in 3 days
3. Say, “Yeah… where’s the bread line?”
#3 should put you on waiting list to hell, probably. =)
