When Harry Met Sally or P.K. and Jody at Office Max

If you haven't seen the movie When Harry Met Sally, you should. It was a late 80s flick starring Meg Ryan. F.Y.I...this is not a kid friendly movie.

If you have seen the movie, I'm referring to the worst kind of high maintenance line not the "other scene" at the restaurant. Again, if you haven't seen the movie, you'll have to see it to understand the "other" restaurant scene. This is a family blog. :)

Sally is very high maintenance. It takes her forever to order something because she wants it the way she wants it. Harry explains it this way:

Harry: There are two kinds of women: high maintenance and low maintenance.
Sally: Which one am I?
Harry: You're the worst kind. You're high maintenance but you think you're low maintenance.

P.K. and I often laugh about this. In our relationship the rolls are reversed. When I order a sandwich, I usually just order it how ever it comes. I don't like tomatoes, but I just take it off. P.K. on the other hand orders it the way he wants it and we hope for the best. I tell him he is the worst kind of high maintenance (HM) because he doesn't think he is. This leads me to our trip to Office Max.

P.K. was off work yesterday so while the kids were at school and Hannah was at preschool we decided to do a few kid free errands and have lunch together. Our dates are few and far between so we both jumped at the chance.

I had received a $10.00 off a $20.00 purchase coupon for Office Max so that was one of our stops. P.K. (who claims not to be HM) said he needed some new pens. I like a ball point pen and usually stock up when the school supplies are on sale or even on clearance. If it writes, I can use it. P.K. being a lefty, prefers pens that meet his lefty technique.

Jody: Do we need anything else while we are here?
P.K.: I need some pens.
Jody: Oh, they are right over here. (motions to entire aisle of pens organized by style...ball point, gel, etc.)
P.K.: I think the pens I have been using are Pentel.
Jody: (searches the pens...I happen to be in the ball point section) Here are the Pentels.
P.K.: Cool. Oh, I wanted Pentel gel pens.
Jody: (rolls her eyes and moves to the section marked gel pens)
P.K. and Jody: (searching for Pentel GEL pens)
Jody: Here they are. Pentel gel pens. (The particular gel pens I found were retractable)
P.K.: Oh...I was looking for the Pentel gel pens with caps.
Jody: (laughing) You are the worst kind of HM just like on When Harry Met Sally and I am so blogging this moment.

Just so you know...they didn't have Pentel gel pens with caps so he decided to try the retractable.
