Bluetooth Carjacking

When you start your car and it connects to your spouse’s phone.

I started my car and my wife’s phone call from inside the house started coming in on my car speaker. I realized when she borrowed my car last night, I had become the victim of a Bluetooth Carjacking.

Oldmansplaining

Mansplaining when done by a person of advanced age, typically on a non-PC topic, and at an increased volume.

Micro Mismanaged

When your boss is simultaneously micromanaging you and doing a poor job coordinating the project as a whole.

Even with two daily touch points scheduled for this project, no one could figure out what was being asked of them. I've never seen a project so micro mismanaged.

Off-Season Beautiful

When you’re not one of the truly beautiful people, but enough so to qualify in the off-season.

My wife and were in Portofino, the waiter seated us at a seaside table where others walking by could see us. We thought that doesn’t usually happen. Then we realized the restaurant was mostly empty and it was the off-season, so while not truly beautiful people, we do qualify as off-season beautiful.

Fundred

A $100 bill you carry with you which can only be used to go on an adventure or do something unexpected for the pure pleasure of it. Fundreds are not allowed to be used to pay bills or similar expenses. Carrying a Fundred reminds you to be on the lookout for opportunities for fun.

My wife and I were at a Cars and Copters show at the local airport. It was $50 per person to go on a helicopter ride. We’d never been in a helicopter and since I had a Fundred with me, we decided to do it. It was Fundred well spent.
