Grumpy Old Man
-
@booboo she wants to do teaching - primary school thank fuck. If this is a sample of her mental fortitude then no way is she capable of high school.
What's also shitting me is we sent her to a psych to address the anxiety, which had been ongoing the last couple of years.
While I accept it's a journey and not just a solution, we paid quite a bit for her to learn tools to deal with just such a situation.
And now Mrs TA is in tears.
Perfect.
-
Mrs M just morphed into a thundercloud after I suggested she not be so sensitive about some frozen fish which had clearly gone off when thawed - "Shit happens".
Only trying to calm her down, FFS, and it's a mini-explosion.
-
@Victor-Meldrew send her a "calm down" card. Women love cards.
-
@Victor-Meldrew you're supposed to read their mind and provide exactly the response they want, of course.

@booboo growing out of it some time in the next 10 hours will be fairly critical in terms of her exam tomorrow.
How the fuck are these people going to deal with life?
Well she got to her exam this morning, so we're taking the small wins. Dawdled the whole way, mind you.
Even tho she's got an early offer from one University, it's contingent on actually doing the exam and therefore completing high school.
Therefore it's the nearest thing to self-sabotage she can manage because 3 people didn't SMS birthday wishes.
What I don't get is she's usually so independent and doesn't give a shit what people think if she knows it's the right thing to do. Unlike her brother who needs to be prodded to do anything, she went and got herself a job and all that shit. So I don't really get it.
Of course, hormones have a lot to do with this and it's exactly the wrong time of the cycle for this sort of shit to happen. So you can throw logic out the window

We have family for the weekend. They arrive, say "Hello, how are you?"
And then flop into chairs and silently doom-scroll for a whole fucking hour

By which time you can remove yourself to do the cooking.

Good tip. Sadly the restaurant we went to wouldn't let me help out in the kitchen

You could always embrace the irony of perusing the fern to moan about people ignoring you to spend time online.

True. And you do get a better class of ignorance on the Fern

Is that you, Sevu?

Went to the movies on Friday and this couple behind me just kept chatting all the way so I told them politely to shut the hell up, they stopped for a bit and then started again and some of the people more politely than me asked them to shut up, they stopped for a bit, started again, and then eventually one of the other people went and got a staff member to talk to them.
This wasn't a young couple, it was the Bruce Springsteen movie on in the middle of the day, I was the youngest person there, these were people in their 60s or 70s. The only way they shut up was due to a teenage cinema worker threatening to kick them out. Entitled pieces of shit. I wish they'd just resorted to doom-scrolling.

Given the context, it's hard to judge the quality of that one!

Not sure about that, but "I do have quite a large ignorance" is clearly not as successful a pickup line as some might think it is...
