With a texing culture, it’s so easy to misunderstand, misinterpret or miscalculate what the other person means. My gal pal KLB and I use memes as a substitution for words, and yet we always seem to understand one another perfectly. Welcome to Meme Girls– Miscommunication. Here are a few of our favorite head scratchers. “Hey, KLB! It’s winter in July. Did you see this one??”
“Jenster, you know I’m a late morning to early afternoon riser. That’s a good one! You caught me debating my shoe preference for the day.”
“Oh no you d’int! Those are so cute! I forget how tiny your feet are. I’m packing up for yet another trip and my blacks don’t match. I have pants that are blackish and a jacket that is super black. Do you think anyone will even notice?”
“No. But people outside of the NYC area aren’t obsessed with funeral colors like we are here. You might stand out in a crowd. I have an idea of how you can make new friends at the conference you’re packing up for…”
“Hmmm. Intersting idea, ‘cept I don’t want to be thrown out! I’m so glad we are such good friends and can talk openly with each other.”
“I totally read that as whore members!!! I agree. Did you see this warning in Kalamazoo or wherever you were last week? Be careful- it’s a dangerous world.”
“OMG. Peeing in my pants with that one. I recently met a group of not so nice peeps and I wish I would have pulled one of these on them…”
“Great idea! I will have to file that one away and use it when inappropriate! How is work going for you? I know you’re so busy these days.”
“KLB! You know I actually love this job. But that’s a great one to share with HR when you’re not happy with your boss. Ha! I don’t really understand that role. They help you and pretend that they are on your side until you have a real issue and then they are team corporate and try to anihilate you. They are turncoat work therapists. And speaking of therapy. I missed my appt. this week. Too many travel conflicts. Can’t believe I majored in Psychology. Can you picture me as a shrink…?”
“Jenster, I think you’d make a good shrinkydink. You like people. You take good notes. I’m too tired to write things down.”
“OMG I totally didn’t read the number either!! Did I tell you Michael is interviewing for a new job? He has headhunters calling him literally every single day! I sent him this…”
“We love Mikey. I’m so glad you found a hottie with a good sense of humor. He fits into your world perfectly. And he’s a big fan of mine so we know he’s brilliant!”
“Yes! Every time I get a text from you he’s over my shoulder pre-smiling cause he knows it’s going to be funny! You’ve conditioned him to laugh. He’s Pavlov’s muse!”
“OK, time for me to get out of bed. I might need another half sandwich to face the day. “
“I hear ya. I’m having a food battle myself on my own turf.”
“I’m also trying to cut back on my sugar. So you can only imagine how that’s going.”
“Ok, have a good day, bitchbag.”
“Love you, cupcake.”
