crazy lady in my office...

Hermes

whatta wacko... just humor her... she obviously has absolutely no idea what she is talking about. you probably keep thinking about it because it hard to fathom how someone can be so ignorant yet so convinced they are right to the point where they tell others...

I am often captivated by stupidity.

small fry · Chanel

well she does sound crazy but I sure hope gas prices do not go up that much because i would have to walk everywhere

I think you are worried about it because they are issues that are going on right now and it is something we dont want to get worse

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

hearing that from a co-worker would probably set me to worrying a little bit too -- but it sounds like she's off her rocker and that stuff is a load of bunk.

now i am picturing prof. trelawney as shown in the HP movies sitting near you at work!

Here are the only countries that start w/ V:

Vanuatu - Republic of Vanuatu

Vatican City - State of the Vatican City (administered by a Pontifical Commission appointed by the Pope who is concurrently the head of the Holy See and that of the Vatican City)

Venezuela - Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (federal state)

Vietnam - Socialist Republic of Vietnam

Virgin Islands (British) - British Virgin Islands (overseas territory of the United Kingdom)

Virgin Islands (U.S.) - United States Virgin Islands (unincorporated organized territory of the United States, popularly known in its abbreviated terms as U.S. Virgin Islands)

Anyway, I wouldn't really pay too much attention to her. She probably just likes the attention and maybe she's a bit whacko. I'm not too big on "psychics."

Don't let it get to you. Hearing stuff like that can be scary, and I think it is good to have a certain amount of concern about the future, but she's clearly saying those things to get a reaction.

It seems that these days everyone has a friend of a friend of a friend who is somehow in the know.

i looked up all of the countries that began with a V too... it must be the terrorist country of vatican city.

NCshopper · Hermes

Umm...also, what does Homeland Security have to do with gas prices and whether or not Ford or GMC make it? Oh yeah...nothing. So, I really wouldn't worry about her.

1. the US does not need to worry about iraq or bin laden.. and that a small country that begins with a V is really going to cause us some serious trouble.

what? Vietnam? Venezuela? right...

2. ford & gmc motors will be out of business by the end of the year.

bullshit. I work in the automotive industry, and I can say with 100% certainty that Ford and GM will not go out of business by the end of the year - even if they were failing, they would be bought by another automotive manufacturer before that would happen.

3. gas prices will be about 6 $ per gallon by march or april. she's crazy, right?

why? I would love to hear her substantiation for not only this "prediction" but for the other predictions as well.

all I can say is always question what others tell you... especially if they are not an expert on the topic. anyone can speculate.

1. I highly doubt that she even knows someone at homeland security.

2. If she did, would that person discuss details like that with random people? Probably not.

3. If she did, would that person discuss details like that with her, a crazy person? Most definitely not.

4. Unless she is related to Pat Robertson, in which case all bets are off 'cause he's crazy too. And contrary to what he himself may lead have lead her to believe, good old Pat does not officially work as an advisor to homeland security .
