When I used to play Trivial Pursuit:
Once I got two "pie" pieces, they had to be opposite. When I got the third, I removed one of the previous ones so I could space them one apart each. At four, I removed one so I could have two sets of two next to each other with one space between each set. I was SOL on 1 and 5. I have a thing about symmetry. I kept my married name because I have four letters each in my first, middle, and last names (plus it's much easier to spell and pronounce than my maiden name.)

My friends won't play Trivial Pursuit with me anymore. They gave up after I beat a team of four or five of them playing one pie against me. They really should have known what they were up against when I showed up with a set of gold-plated pies and wedges.

If I'm expecting a package, I will obsessively check the tracking. I mean, I know my UPS Ground package from California hasn't gone anywhere (at least not anywhere that will show up on the tracking) in the last hour, and I know it's not going to be delivered for another three days. So why should I check again? |
