How Perplexing
"I know," I'd tell them, and then I'd shrug them off. It didn't seem like such a big deal, and I didn't feel the need to talk shop about my new HP 17.3" Dual-Core Laptop.
I get it. Having Windows 8, 8GB DDR3 Memory, and a 1TB SATA hard drive on a laptop is great, but why brag about it? Instead, I decided it was easier to just take the compliment, smile, and nod my head.
And that's how the next hour went. People kept on walking up to me, I let them keep telling me about my HP, and I just sat there, calm as day, rolling my eyes as they walked away.
So imagine how much of a fool I felt like when I put my laptop away and discovered that the HP they were talking about wasn't my computer, but it was the HP Sauce I had put on my steak for lunch, and had also accidently spilled all over my pants. Can't say I saw that one coming.
