I hear variations of this phrase all of the time. "Only you!" or "That would ONLY happen to you!" or my favorite, "That WOULD happen to you!"
For example, I have this new thing where every time I wear a skirt I end up with itchy quarter sized hives on the insides of my legs. When it first happened a few weeks ago, it looked pretty severe and I ended up driving myself to the hospital at midnight. (It's because of instances like these that the allergist won't give me an EpiPen. Apparently driving to the hospital at midnight for hives that resemble chub rub is overreacting). They gave me some super powered antihistamine steroid that I had to take for a WEEK and sent me on my way. This same thing has happened three times since, but because I refuse to take anymore steroids, it's operation Benadryl over here.
Oh or how about this past Saturday evening when I received a text from an unfamiliar number at one in the morning. Within the thirty seconds it took me to respond "Whose this?" then respond again "Oops who's" (because I didn't want my future husband to think I'm "special") I had convinced myself it was some boy I had met somewhere who had finally gotten the courage to Facebook stalk me, retrieve my number, and confess his love to me. With Taylor Swift's "Love Story" running through my head, "It's a love story...Baby just say yes..." I opened the new message,
"It's Mike, remember? Your old boss?"
Yep, I remember. I remember him being 50, married, and bald. Now THAT would only happen to me.

Eeeeew. Creepy old boss! I sympathize about the rash. I've had a variety of dry, red rashes on my face since last Nov. Numerous trips to the dermo without much luck!
ReplyDeleteYou better wear pants, girl!
my 'only you' moments always seem to involve tripping/falling on flat surfaces ;o)
ReplyDeleteI got a random text this weekend that said "Meet me in town". I thought about replying "Where? I'll be there in 30!"
ReplyDeleteOkay, did they tell you WHY got those bumps on the inside of your thighs? Because I get some, too. But just one or two, and they get REALLY big, and red, and have puss. It grosses me out and it HURTS!!!
ReplyDeleteMan, your old boss? WTH is up with that? But hey, at least you know someone is thinking about you! LOL
