Waver Goodies

[Gaki]

So I spent a pretty eventful few days at the Tax place waving. I got a few more little stories for you all.

Easter Bunny Madness

I was dressed up in this very cute costume of the Easter bunny with a full head on and everything. It had a bowtie that didn't fit so we put it around the ears so everyone knew I was a girl bunny. It was cute, a little hot, but cute. I didn't have my glasses on and it was hard to see anyway so my coworkers who were with me would point out the cars with kids in them because dayyyyyuuuummmn these kids were SERIOUS about the Easter Bunny. Haha.

Anyways. As we're waving this woman walks up and says this little gem:

"I suppose your parents should just be glad you have a job."

My coworkers were like, "Uhh...okay?"

It's a good thing I didn't know where she was or I would have hit her. It was tough to see out of that costume. She's obviously just sore that she can't have a super epic job. My dad's response: "What a bitch."

I can make over one hundred people smile in a three hour time span. What can you do?

Tits

A car full of teenage men came by with all of them in a chorus of "TITS TITS TITS TITS TITS TITS TITS TITS..."

Easter Sugar

"Hey Easter Bunny, show me some of that LOOOOOOVE."

"WERK IT LADY BUNNEEEEEEHHHHH!!!"

Nooooooo...

Car drove by with passenger screaming:
"WHITE POWER."

Well if there's one way to make me stop waving at you and recoil in disgust...that's it. I mean, I know we live in a hick town but...really.

"Hey Easter Bunny, show me some of that LOOOOOOVE."

So that's when you get to throw chocolate "poop" at them right? (bonus points if you use semi-melted chocolate of course )



although personally if i saw a human sized rabbit my first though... well actually my first thought would be "ooo easter bunny!"
but my *second* thought would be "Harvey!"

Today I saw a very "fat" statue of liberty. Its snowing, the wind is wicked and the poor lady was out on the side of the road. I always wave her and today when she waved back she moved like that kid in the Christmas Story. I hope she was able to stay warm.

[Merriweather]

BTW, since reading your posts, I make it a point to wave at - ok, what would you be called collectively - street sales characters?

As for the one lady - who the blazes is she to judge? You're not begging, you're not doing anything illegal, what more does she want? For all she knows, you're in school studying to be a brain surgeon. Or maybe working a second job to pay off your grandmother's medical bills. Or you made millions on a startup company and lost it all, and are too burnt out to do it again. Or your trust fund doesn't kick in for another year and you need the money to feed your designer dog. Or maybe you live very simply, like life that way, and just need a few bucks to cover basics, and don't want all the stress of other jobs. Or maybe you're just like most everyone else these days and taking what you can find til the economy gets better. In any case, none of her business, and not her place to judge.

Hope karma hits her, and her kids all lose whatever jobs they have, and they move back in with her and sponge off her for years.

::is in Upstate NY right now:: What snow?

Ok, so we had some, but everyone's been saying what an odd winter this one was.

[PepperElf]

You still had more than we did. We had *one* day.

The dude that dresses up as Lady Liberty down the street here is the happiest, most enthusiastic dude in town. No doubt. He's always SO FREAKING HAPPY to see you, and if you wave at him, he goes nuts!

Reading stories about the sort of crap those folks have to deal with further convinces me that the guy is the most upbeat guy on sweet mother earth.

*throws pictures of bluetits at them* Here ya go, you wanted tits, ya got tits!

"WERK IT LADY BUNNEEEEEEHHHHH!!!"

I think they have you confused with a playboy bunny......O.o

Or maybe you live very simply, like life that way, and just need a few bucks to cover basics, and don't want all the stress of other jobs.

..... and like this kind of semi-acting job.

I've talked to a number of street buskers and street actors, and on the whole, they seem to enjoy their work a lot more than people with "real jobs".

And some of the more skilled buskers average a damn fine income. Perhaps they'd do better with a permanent job at a symphony or in an acting company - but perhaps not. And they keep the city lively and pleasant and 'artsy', so .. hey. It's all good.

Maybe you can get some furry boobs to add to your costume for the next time those guys come around.

Since the SoL is copper, they'd need to be bluegreen tits.

For those who are jealous of the snow, I'm in the middle of Arizona. We put jackets on when the temp is under 80 degrees. That was Saturday, its all melted off and we are back in spring again. It was in the low 80's today, so I didn't have to wear a jacket, just a sweatshirt.

I'll second Merriweather's question...what are human directionals called?

[Mr Hero]

Maybe those kids were paying your costume a compliment by saying that the costume is tits. Or they're asses.
