VA: Social Norms are Overrated
Apr 2nd, 2007
Today, I decided to treat my brother to lunch. Taking my brother anywhere public is generally very stressful considering he has absolutely zero concept of social norms, but I was […]

I laughed out loud at “GIVE ME YOUR GOLD BITCH!”
Your brother sounds like a real asshole. If he treats the staff in restaurants like that he better get used to boogers, snot, and other assorted treats mixed in with his food.
It’s a bit ironic that that in previous posts you brag about brashly confronting assholes who treat servers or coffee makers badly and yet in your own family you sheepishly duck out while no doubt giggling at his (granted, they were pretty damn funny) comments. Way to practice what you preach.
yeah, I agree with pabloescobar, pretty damn funny.
V, you need a muzzle on that boy. Maybe one of those child leashes? Better yet, invent a new one with a choker collar or shock collar.
I’m surprised he isn’t in jail for A&B if he acts like this constantly… there’s enough touchy people in this world.
Yeah, I agree with pabloescobar, there are more holes than a golf course in your stories. If you are going to pretend this stuff is real, do try to be consistent.
This lack of credibility is making me thirsty.
Credibility? Who the hell cares? Consistency? How freaking B.O.R.I.N.G. I’m attracted to VA precisely because she **is** inconsistent!
This posting was hilarious - and bravo to her brother for catching up the old cow! (I believe firmly that people like that old woman - those who feel free to humiliate others in public - should be dragged out and beaten in the street.)
I was slightly less amused by the short waitperson, but it was still funny.
Social norms are highly overrated - my cousin and I had a ball dueling with umbrellas in the crowded lobby of a big bank in Chicago. The only person who was *not* amused was the guard who thought we were creating a diversion for a robbery.
I find this and other VA posts quite entertaining.
Who gives a crap if it’s perfectly autobiographical or not?
It could be out-and-out fiction for all I care. I don’t devote the time and energy toward trying to track it.
The continuity crowd should apply such withering scrutiny to their own lives and I bet they’d find a similar lack of consistency between their talk and their actions.
I agree, the lady who was berating and humiliating deserved what she got. I felt sorry for the short waitress and thought the brother was a jerk for it, but damn that was funny. Sometimes the funny that you know you shouldn’t be laughing at is the funniest of all.
VA ginal and Richbh,
I actually agree 100%. I have no doubt that the “V” we read is for all intents and purposes, the voice of a character that the writer uses to tell semi-autobiographical musings. But even if the posts are PURE fiction, they are still entertaining. So maybe she is the blog world’s lonelygirl15. That actually just adds to the irony.
VA and Lonelygirl…who would have thought they had anything in common? haha
“GIVE ME YOUR GOLD, BITCH!”
LOL, I almost fell down the chair reading this :D
I have a feeling that if she’d come back with “THEY’RE ALWAYS AFTER ME LUCKY CHARMS!”, V would shortly have had a new sister in law.

I laughed hard enough to cause an cubical gopher movement at my work. “What’s so funny over there….what i miss?”
When this happens when V is out with her brother, she should just shrug her shoulders and put the “I can’t do a THING with him” look on her face and if he gets too much out of control, let the establishment eject him.
@12
yeah, like mommies dealing with ‘down’ monsters :)
Sounds like V-bro is going to be who he is no matter what she tries and should let it be. When he starts questioning why he can’t get a girl or even keep one. Maybe he will realize his issues of social disfunction and make some slight changes. Then again it is pretty funny.
OMG! I laugh so hard I cry every time I repeat this story! Ah, That’s the V I love.
