I tried a grapple once, and I thought it was gross.

Me, to! It thought it was hilarious, so I bought one, but... no.

Thrive to spite them
I saw those in the store once and almost bought them, but they were really expensive.

My dog is trying to fax something. I just thought you should know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just got off the phone with my landlord, who keeps telling me he thinks all he will need to do to my carpet is clean it (which I would have to pay for), after 6+ years, 2 sick cats, and more than one nail polish incident because he thinks it's really clean.
He also wants to come look at the new mirrored closet doors he just had put in on Saturday, which is too bad, because one of the places Perkins the cat puked yesterday was on the floor runner thing.

That is so weird!
In my job, we have this crazy procedure (university wide) that requires an "original signature" of the cardholder on a specific form to pay for any non-degree credit bearing class. You can pay online for anything else. They will not take it online. They will not take it over the phone. They will take a scanned attachment. They will take it by fax. They feel, somehow, that the person cannot go to collections unless they have this signature.
I just had someone call and ask me what to do because her grandmother is paying for the course and the grandmother and she live in different states. I sooo wish she hadn't asked, because I am sure that most people in this situation just sign the grandmother's name and move on. But I can't tell her to do that. So I had to call the Bursar's office and ask what to do, and, since the form needs her signature too, she has to fax the form to her grandmother, who has to sign it and fax it to us. Seriously???

That's a stupid policy. I'm wrangling one like that too for our banking. We need original signatures of the whole board. On the same piece of paper, which cannot be faxed. Except our board members do not live in the same states. Crankypants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've definitely had contracts like that, where we needed original signatures from multiple people in multiple states. It's exciting! You have to send around a whole FedEx chain and hope it works and gets back to you.

FedEx chain is annoying.
Grapples are weird.
Italian rainbow cookies have in ally been found and procured--in Phoenix of all places! I was worried because they didn't have them in the cookie display, but turns out you have to specially ask for them. Mnmmm. Bought half a pound for a friend and a pound for me (an will share with roomie)
