How Come?

How come some people feel the need to inform you of what an awful meal they received at the restaurant? Normally it wouldn't bother me but I just shelled out for that particular repast. Isn't it a lot like opening a gift and telling the giver everything you hate about it?

Speaking of gifts....
How come the mother/father/sibling/recipient feel you would want to know that the toy you gave was broken within the first hour?
How come the mother/father/sibling/recipient feel you should know that the sweater/hat/mittens/socks...etc that you spent time and effort making just for them, doesn't fit?

How come when a gaggle of mothers get together the fact that they brought young children with them completely slips the minds and they chat up a storm while their brats run rampant?

How come some men think they can brush your jacket off the arm of the couch and onto the floor, in the lobby, before resting their hairy, sweaty, fat arm there and then brazenly lie about it accidentally falling?

How come irresponsible dog owns claim, "He wouldn't hurt a fly."? Maybe he wouldn't hurt a fly but he's peeing on my leg/biting my thigh/shredding my pants as he tries to hump my leg. Put the beast on a leash.

How come the old geezer driving the car in front of me gives me the finger when I attempt to gently wake him two minutes into the green light?

How come the Environment Canada website forecasts today's high as 14 C and lists the current temperature, on the same page, as 17C?

How come I don't feel like knitting today?

Don't ever take them to a restaurant again. One of the funniest things I have ever seen was a bunch of squirming, naughty children who were sitting
close to a man who got up and looked the mother in the eye and said," Sister, can't you control your children." Of course it wouldn't be funny
if I were the mother and they were my children.

fyi Marge, you can use explicit language on your own blog or in your comments on your own blog, but it is exed out when you comment on someone else's blog. I don't know how far you can take it. I don't know if it, for instance, would allow the f word or not, no matter what blog it is. xx, T.

Not to worry Teale, I don't plan on using 'those' kind of words in my blog or anyone else's.

My "favorite" about gifts is when someone gives you a gift, then complains about how long it took or how many stores they checked to find it.

And I definitely know the brats run rampant thing. It's become a big problem with some of the groups at the library. I wasn't there, but I heard they got hostile when asked to keep the kids under control. Apparently they expected staff to babysit.

Oh oh! The censor isn't working. I said, "bitching"! Hmmm I wonder what else I could say........

or when you ask some one to do you a favour and they say, "Sure. No problem." Then afterwards you thank them and give them a case of beer and they start bitching about what a horrible job that was and how difficult it was and how much they hated doing it. (We haven't asked him for a favour since.)

I'm with you on all of this. How about a tot deliberately pouring sand on you at the beach, while the mother ignores it? I told this mother that if she wanted her tot to live out the year, she would contain her.

Wanna make a kid cry? Place your face two inches from theirs. Squint your eyes and look real nasty and yell, "GO AWAY!" Hmmm I wonder if it would work on the mothers.

That first one: They eat the restaurant meal, push back their chair, give a big sigh and say: "Well that sucked"??

These would all be food questions to ask Dear Abby or Anne Landers.

comment by troutbend on Oct 20, 2010 12:57 AM ()

I meant good questions, not food questions.

reply by troutbend on Oct 20, 2010 1:50 PM ()

They usually work up to, "Well that sucked" with comments like, "I can't eat this. There's too much garlic,salt, pepper, etc... in it." and "This isn't med. rare. I can't eat this." and "What's that orange stuff. I'm not eating that." I actually had a guest order a second meal. I suppose they figured I wouldn't have to pay for the first because they didn't eat most of it.

I was thinking about answering the first question--I'd never do that when somebody else was buying... then I saw the way the rest of it was worded and couldn't contain myself!

I hope this was supposed to be humorous!

"while their brats run rampant..."

comment by jjoohhnn on Oct 19, 2010 6:01 PM ()

Have you ever known me to complain?

Don't answer that!
