Metered Moments

We all have those moments...

You're involved in

a situation so ridiculous 

you would think it could be a
sketch on 
Saturday Night Live,
Seinfeld

Or 
 Punk'd.

The scenario:

PaulA and I are standing in line at the San Diego Zoo 
waiting to see their newest Panda, 
born 7 months ago. 

It's not our style to stand in a long line…for anything…

but a baby Panda has a high awww factor 

on the "Cute-o-Meter."

In line behind us stands 
an obnoxious man 
who has the  

the "Dork-o-Meter"
at full-tilt.

What stands out the most with this man…

is how closely he stands behind PaulA.  

He is sooo close…

that a part of him

constantly touches or brushes up 

against  PaulA.  

And when PaulA moves even a half a step forward…

the man does too.  

And this goes on. and on.

every step of the way.

The "Jerk-o-Meter" is off the charts.

Anywhoooo……

It is moments like these 

that get you thinking this has to be a set-up.

There is someone hiding in the bushes...  

deliberately trying your patience... 

just waiting to see how long before you blow…

wanting to capture your melt-down on tape.

I have to say, 
PaulA was one cool dude with Mr. Obnoxious.

But if it was this Kat...
who had to deal with Mr. Obnoxiously Irritating,

I would have broken the 

"Mel Gibson-o-Meter."
