Apple, good job with the Frankenstein Christmas Ad.
Now if you can only do the same with some of your more recent product offerings so you don’t end up with irate consumers like the ones I’ve seen on Mac tech forums or a few clients with more recent macbooks which have suddenly stop functioning. On second thought, that does mean more business for yours truly so thanks, Apple.
I realize that you’re new in the job and want to show the staff your appreciation for all the extra hours/hard work this past month. It’s not your fault that the board is so abundantly clueless about bestowing even small bonuses. But I’d enjoy a small bonus so much more than you taking the staff out to dinner. (With husbands? Dear God, no.) That’s just work someplace else. I wish I didn’t have to pretend to be delighted about it.
Dad, I know you were extra grumpy this year – my only hope is that those few individuals you directed your barbs can fully comprehend the burden you’re living under: the eleventh year of being the caretaker for mom’s Alzheimer’s – now at stage six of seven.
You’re not a perfect person nor claimed to be one – but what you’ve accomplished here on this planet, with the tools given you, your drive to pull yourself out of the iron factory into being a leading physician, to your family and the legacy that you wish to bestow upon all of us – I’m simply in awe of you. I’ll always remember meeting you for the first time to ask for your blessing on my impending engagement to your only daughter – over 20 years ago.
SIL, why do we even bother to draw names and not have a price range? I take the time to buy nice gifts and end up getting junk. You’ll see the wine glass and the coffee mug in the white elephant gift exchange next year!
Please stop talking to me when I am in the middle of something!
No,I cannot just jump back to where I was before you made your question so
important. I hate hate hate shopping with you. I hate it when you come into the
kitchen and start needing input for your one tiny thing to do. Be quiet!
I don’t understand why my company gives me a lap top that I need to push a little needle through a pin hole to do a hard reset so it could boot up again. I just wasted 3 hours in trying to “wake up” the PC. Really?! Why not just give me a Mac.
The Grinch had it so good. A cave on the top of Mount Crumpet, a wonderful little dog, and nothing to do all day but bitch about the Whos singing. Probably got great satellite reception. Why would he ever want to come down?
Perhaps if you didn’t feel the need to lash out at the people who love you every time you’re frustrated, you wouldn’t feel so picked on. Sheesh. Get a grip.
Please be a responsible dog owner and control your pet so he is not constantly jumping on your dinner guests, licking their fingers, and persistently nudging your guests as they are seated at the table. No, we don’t think his behavior is cute. Some of us like to eat a meal devoid of animals.
What the heck. Once again, you’ve gone around and filled up the neighbor’s trash cans, including ours, with your excess crap. Without asking. You filled ours to the brim. It’s the week after Christmas, don’t you think that maybe we’re tidying up also, and we’re planning on putting more stuff in before the truck came? How rude.
It’s enough that you folks are choosing to bring your dogs to the nice enclosed shopping mall but PLEASE control them so we are not all subjected to them barking at one another. We don’t go to the mall to hear dogs barking. Grrr!
Dear Sports Parent - it has been the joy of my life these past four years watching you turn every conversation into an opportunity to brag about your child. It’s been instructive. I am so glad he is getting a full ride to a D3 school to pursue his athletic career - even though they don’t offer the major you’ve been bragging about for years. Good luck with that.
Your mom is already exhausted by your two kids who don’t understand they need to be quiet in a small nursing home room. So when you insist on taking her out to lunch, the effort required for her to get in and out of the car is simply too much. I’d love to let you experience this all on your own, but she can’t get in or out of your SUV, so I have to show up to transport in our sedan.
