Some People Need a Filter ....

Since its been slow I figured this would make for some fun reading.


Back story... I run the Airman's Attic on the Air Force Base. (I take donations from anyone that has access to base and sort through them. We have a little "store" where Airman E5 and below can come in and take what they need at no charge).

Well the other day I got a call from a single female airman asking if we had a pick up service. We don't, but she is deploying soon and wanted to donate some of her items to use to keep it in the "air force family" instead of storing them or donating them else where. Her vehicle wouldn't fit the stuff and she didn't have anyone to help with the big heavy stuff, since I have a cross over I offered to stop by after work to help her out. She was very appreciative but holy Hannah does she need a filter.

To start she asked what my husband does... kinda random but w/e I replied "Pilot." She then says "wooo you snatched one of them, good work you've gotta grab those officers when you can." wtf lady -- I was tempted to go on a long winded explanation that I knew and dated him long before the air force or being an officer..... but didn't waste my breath. Probably a good idea because she followed it up with this gem...

"Thank you for your help, you're an awesome spouse; like spouse of the year or something. I only know spouses that cheat. How do you even win spouse of the year anywhere? Don't cheat on your husband while deployed?" I literally wanted to drop the box I we were carrying. Somehow I was able to sputter out was "ask Amanda LAST NAME she won spouse of the year for the Air Force." I seriously could not believe she was completely serious in thinking a person would be named on the sole reason for being faithful.

That's kinda hilarious. I've never once had someone impressed that I "snatched" an officer. More like they pity me for him being gone all the time.

Also, I've never heard of spouse of the year. I'm sure you would all support me

Wow. I'd love to meet the person (or group of people) that created her world view. I bet it would be an interesting time in a train wreck kind of way.

I have a person like this in my French class. OMG. I never know what to say to this person, I am not clever enough to get over my shock about what comes out of her mouth.

It's just incredibly sad
