I have written before about how we often "know" that not everyone is like us,
but that it can still come as a shock when we are confronted with evidence of
this. Here are two recent examples.
Example 1- The
Amusement Park
We were talking about
a local amusement park, and one of my coworkers said there is no way physically
that she could spend all day doing that. She is younger than I am. I wanted to
tell her that my mom has no problem spending all day riding rides, walking all
over the park, etc. I was a bit slack jawed.
Example 2- The Drive Thru
A local radio station
promotes a "drive thru difference" every couple of months. On
the designated day you are encouraged to pay for the order behind you in the
drive through line. I like the concept, but I don't do fast food much, and when
I do, I go inside. The last time I went through a drive thru was in August of last year while I was on vacation. On a related
note, we are talking about fast food at work recently, and I said how the food
from Chain X is overall not good. My coworker stated that yes, it was. I wanted
to ask her "Do you know what good food is?"
