How bRob ended up yelling at the man operating the Y's front desk:


bRob: "Hi, I don't have my card. Is that alright?"
Guy: "No, where is it?"
bRob: "Um, at my house."
Guy: "You need to go back to your house and get it, ma'm."
[Did he just ma'm me?]
bRob: "Can't you just look me up on your computer?"
Guy: "No ma'm, you need to go back to your house."
bRob: "But I'm a member here, why can't you just look me up?"
Guy: "Where is your card?"
bRob: "At my house!"
Guy: "Well, you need to go to your house and get it."
bRob: "Oh, I get it, you're joking."
Guy: "No, you need to go get your card."

**This goes on for two more minutes, kind of like that, but more...repetitive**
Finally, bRob can't take it anymore:

bRob: "YOU ARE BEING INCREDIBLY RUDE!!"
Guy: "I'm just kidding, ma'm."
bRob: "..."


*bRob's  face went ...

like this, except for where she was a little more bug-eyed.*


bRob: "...oh. i'msorry."


*bRob speed walks off, Guy just continues laughing"

Song: Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez

You guys know how I have an ongoing love affair with Subaru and the wonderful songs in their commercials,

but this commercial is beautiful.

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

I've loved Alison Krauss for so long, 
and I love this song the most.


I know it looks a little dated, and the banjo intro's a little long, but stick to it - she has a gorgeous voice.
