Stop Whining, Please!

What I really mean is: STOP Wining, but I thought I would lose you.

Have you seen the Videos done by the guy who owns the Wine Library?
He’s done almost 200 videos on wine.
My “Significant Other” (that title is a topic for a future blog!)
Is a wine enthusiast, and almost every night I sit in the office we share and have to listen to Gary talk about the nose, the legs, the tastes and the flavors. He rants, raves, sloshes and splits and does this funny tasting thing with his lips, kind of like Hannibal Lector in Silence of the Lambs.
Now it’s annoying enough to hear him go on and on and on,
but if I steal a glance at just the right moment, I see “the Other” mimicking what he’s doing… Sloshing and tasting imaginary wine.

The observation here is that LOTS of people mimic people they’re talking to. Have you ever been in “The South” and found yourself talking with a slight drawl? Or gone to England and found yourself talking with an obviously BAD English accent. I do it myself.
The sloshing and lip thing, however, is a bit unnerving.
And Gary may be one of the most annoying people I’ve seen …
Endearing to Whine Enthusiasts, I’m sure.
But I’m NOT an enthusiast, I just sit next to one, and I’m afraid that after the sloshing and smacking,
the spitting might start.
Stop, Please!
