He goes through to her for the nail clippers and she quite happily says yeah, you can cut your nails, probably blissfully unaware of what time it was. Sure she contradicts me just for the fun of it. He only just made his bus. To cut a long story short, he nailed it (literally). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Nosejob Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Was watching her attempts to load the dishwasher this morning, knowing full well that I’d have to do it properly later on, when a childhood memory from my Dad’s Tom Lehrer albums came to mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buchan30 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 You need to chill out, he made the bus [emoji106]The two of them just seem to have no concept of time. He makes it i would say 99.8% of the time, but he has missed it because of the mucking about and I don’t want him getting into the habit of being late all the time and thinking it’s acceptable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he makes the bus 99.8% of the time then he’s far from getting into a habit of being late all the time. I think you’re over reacting a tad here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re over reacting a tad here. I just got annoyed that she is encouraging things that could potentially make him late. I would rather he was at the bus stop a few minutes before the bus comes, so he isn’t rushing, hoping that he makes it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 In addition to all the bits & bobs hung on door handles mentioned recently, for the next few days I also have to contend with something halloweeny hung on any available point, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bernardblack Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Watched a film earlier tonight and I’m surely due director/writer royalties for the amount of explaining I had to do and questions answered on the plot throughout. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 If you make the bus then you’re on time. Think any school/job/ whatever the f**k else would be fine with someone who’s late 99.8 percent of the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
