Woman #1: Yeah. It looks like you have some dog hair on them too.

CSR #1: I don't think I can carpool with Meg* anymore.
CSR #2: Why?
CSR #1: Well, Meg* either doesn't know how to wipe her ass properly or she decides to let a ripper go right before I get in her car. Either way, it's just too much to deal with.
