Jules and I may have not mentioned it before, but, in addition to being nuttier than the Snickers factory, our mom is a smidge of a racist - no, we're not proud of it, and, fortunately, none of it rubbed off onto us - the other day, when I was at her house, she was complaining about all the companies moving call centers to India.

my nutty, nazi mom: "Every time I call the technical support line for my new printer, I get some Indian person named Tiffany or Ben saying 'how may I help you?'" (that last part was delivered with the WORST Indian accent, it was closer to French, I think)

me (not really wanting to get into this discussion with her): "Oh, you got a new printer? What brand is it?"

MNNM: "It's a (I forget the brand), and I swear, EVERY TIME I call them for help, I get this damn Indian person telling me that I'm doing something wrong"

me: "You know, when I was looking for a printer, I read some reviews on that brand and I think there were a lot of problems with it."

MNNM (looking disgusted): "I don't have any problems with my printer, I have trouble with the technical support people, every time I call them..."

me (thinking): If... you... don't... have... any... trouble... with... it... why... are... you... calling... technical... support... my brain hurts now

  • Your mom and my brother in laws wife should start a club. She hates spanish folks so much she even hates spanish dogs. She is also the infamous wifey that when at a Mexican babies b-day party replied to the question "how are you liking Florida" responded with "Well if i could get used to the heat and all the F-in spics it would be great". The other day i said i saw a funny looking dog. It was a Taco bell dog that looked like it swallowed a weiner dog and she went off on her I hate those taco bell dogs - they are spanish you know (PUKE).
