poor cable guy…

[Beka27]

We had to switch our cable box from an analog model to a digital model so we could continue to get our interactive guide.  We did that yesterday but some of our channels weren’t coming in, so the cable company came out this morning to figure out the issue.  It turns out our cables were not large enough to support the digital channels.  Not a big deal, he replaced them, all is well now. 

The funny thing tho: 

Our house looks like everyone else’s house on this board… grids everywhere, plastic tubing everywhere.  Wires and cables tucked in here and tucked in there.  He didn’t say anything, but I’m quite sure the cable guy was thinking, “what the heck?!”

My response was just,  “We have bunnies.”  As if that explained everything perfectly. 

He did a great job tho.  He managed to move stuff out of the way without totally tearing it all apart.

Then he went to check the bedroom and had to walk thru the bunny room.  He gets to the bedroom…

YUP!!!!  More grids! 

 

We’re all so used to it, WE don’t think a thing about it… it’s just humorous when outsiders come in and are confronted with the realities of house rabbits.

rofl     that is so true.   I had put the xpen around one of the couches to keep them out.  B4 I put the nic cubes instead.  Yeah I wonder what my neighbor thinks.  And my inlaws.

Gosh what craaaaaaazy people those bunny people are.  Obsessed with hiding wire.    Hey dont’ touch that wire

That’s sooo funny!!! We should have a laminated card we could pull out that says that. Like a picture of our children (Bunnies) and it in block letters “I have rabbits’

-At the grocery store, buying enough veggies to feed a small army-for the second time that week and the clerks looking at you weird? -pull the card out
-At the craft store buying wood and string, and they ask you what your project is? -pull the card out
-At a meeting at work and while trying to pick fur out of your eyeballs a co-worker walks up to remove hair from your hairdo? -pull the card out
-At a farm buying just ONE bale of hay, getting weird looks from the farmer while you shove it in the trunk of your Corolla? -pull the card out

[Ruffles&Daisy]

-Or when you are at the pet store buying cat litter AND hay and the lady asks “oh, maybe I should feed my cat hay”-pull the card out

That literally happened to me. I thought to myself “well maybe I have a cat AND a rabbit”, I don’t, but I could. People crack me up.

-at the office on your way back from the loo, carrying an empty toilet paper roll, strolling past co-workers who are looking at you like you are insane? -pull the card out

i def need a laminated card like that. lol. beka, i just had the cable guy over at my place replacing wires too and he looked all wierd aat me while i moved nic cubes out of his way. lol. i’ve also had many a clerk ask ‘what do you use *that* for?’ when scanning inmy huge thing of kale or dandelion greens.

[(dig)x(me)x(now)]

Haha, almost every time I buy dandelion greens, kale, collard greens, etc. the clerk or someone in line asks “what is this?” or “how do you prepare this?” and the response is always “oh… I have a bunny and a guinea pig. It’s for them.”

My usual grocery store trip:

After rehearsal, midnight or so.
3 kinds of lettuce
2 herbs
1 bottle Diet Coke
1 bottle vodka/brandy/whatever I’m into at the moment

The alcohol purchase pretty much heads off the “oh, you’re so healthy!” comment at the pass!
(And the vegetation makes me look a little saner than every other weirdo buying beer at the last moment in the grocery store!)

LOL!

They can’t figure out what to ask, so they don’t…!

I’m going to share an unrelated and somewhat obnoxious grocery store story, that some of you may find amusing.

In theatre, not every costume can be laundered right away. Plain, cheap, unflavored vodka is often used as a temporary odor-fighter/cleanser.

In musical theatre, wireless microphone packs are often shoved down cleavage, strapped to lower backs, shoved down panty-hose–wherever it can stay hidden and not create unsightly bulges under costumes. These hiding places on actors tend to be somewhat sweaty. Wireless mic packs being electronic, mixing in water (sweat) is bad. And oddly, there is no theatre-specific technology for keeping the sweat out of the mic packs. Instead they are shoved into condoms. Yes, condoms.

My BF worked for a theatre company run by a city in San Diego county, and was sent on a a shopping mission. The list: 1 extra-large bottle of the world’s cheapest vodka, and the biggest case of condoms he could find. The payment method: a city credit card.

The poor, poor, poor checker!

LOL^ You would have to have a rehearsed response ready for any queries but what would it be? How could you sum it up?! Interesting about the vodka…wonder if it works on bunny pee? We could replace Vinegar!

I recently had some one over at my house – as she came in I “warned” her my living room looks a little odd cause I have bunnies.
She said “Oh a friend of mine has bunnies too. Yea, this is just what her living room looks like!”

Ha, ha, ha!

The other great thing… on one of our end tables, we have grids ziptied to the legs of the table. so i lifted the table out of the way, and he saw all these grids attached to it. I know he left and called his friend/wife/girlfriend/coworker and said, “you won’t believe the hosue i was just at!” LOL!!!!!!!

That is a great sotry Lightchick… I can imagine the cashier was thinking WHAT is going on here?!

My friend worked at a kmart for 5 years and she would always tell the greatest stories about the most random purchases.

Our grocery store trips are similar to Lightchick’s: 20 dollars worth of greens, a couple bags of chips, 24 pack of pepsi, some coffee creamer… ;o)

[babybunsmum]

hahaha lightchick thats hilarious! there is NO WAY you’d catch me making that purchase unless i was fully clothed in one of those costumes that vodka was for
