Things You Don’t Want to Hear on Vacation
• “I don’t think your tires are gonna make it.”
• “Yeah, um, you’re gonna have to take the bumper off to get to that headlight.”
• “I know you have plans to hike on your vacation, but I’m running late to replace your windshield. So you’ll just have to wait in your hotel room.”
• “We’re sorry. Those chairs are reserved. (For more intellectual and better dressed people.)”
• “I know our menu says we offer a 12 oz steak, but we’re all out. I can give you the 6 oz steak for a few bucks less.”
• Favorite coffee shop is closed. Due to Halloween.
• Woman in front of the restaurant laughs derisively and then says, “You don’t have to put quarters in the meter after 6 pm.”
• “These sections of the Blue Ridge Parkway are closed due to conditions.” Indicates locations on the map.
“Which parts are open?”
“The mile stretch you got here on.”
• “Now’s a great time to rob a bank because every police officer in Black Mountain is here right now.”
• “This part of the park is closed because of bears. But don’t worry, you’ll be hiking over here.” Ranger points to section of map right next to bear-infested area.
• “You’ll want to be careful because there are hunters out. Be very visible and avoid any brown, tan, earth tones, and especially white, resembling a deer’s tail.” Look down in horror at our earth tone jackets, camouflage packs, and the grayish-white of Jerimiah’s pants.
But you survived and back “Home” to us…..YEA!
Wow! Sounds like it was a memorable vacation if nothing else. At least you don’t have a story called “Remember that time Jerimiah got shot because they thought he was a deer in grey cargo pants.” LOL I’m glad you survived and we had a chance to meet up while you were in Black Mountain.
Hahahahaha! So true! We were glad to get together with you guys too.
Holy mess. You guys have rotten luck! It’s like one of the times my husband’s family went camping when he was a kid. The forecast said warm and sunny; it snowed.
What a trip!
Sounds like you had a blast. Pun intended. Hehehe.
