[inside]... because you are a bad parent.[/voice]

What didn't you say recently?
lumberjim • Aug 28, 2008 2:44 pm
only moments ago.

'are you retarded? i just explained that form.....did you not understand, or were you not listening for the 54th time.' 'dickhole'

srsly.

Those are the two most common things I don't say. :)
lookout123 • Aug 28, 2008 4:05 pm
if this was a task that could be done by any fucking idiot in a day or two i'm sure you'd do it yourself. since it's not, quit fucking calling me, i'll let you know when it's done bitch!
Aliantha • Aug 28, 2008 5:52 pm
Put the fucking toilet seat down. I am the one that cleans this fucker so it's hygenic for all to use. The least you arseholes can do is put the fucking seat down.

Translation: Honey, can you please try and remember to put the seat down?
HungLikeJesus • Aug 28, 2008 5:53 pm
I think it's better to leave the seat up. That way the next person who uses the toilet doesn't piss all over it.
Shawnee123 • Aug 28, 2008 6:00 pm
The only thing that makes sense to me, and is fair to both sexes, is that both the seat AND the lid should be closed at all times. That way, you both have to lift something. Also, it keeps my cats from drinking toilet water which I find completely disgusting.
Aliantha • Aug 28, 2008 6:10 pm
HLJ, I'd agree with you except that when I get up to go during the night, I don't usually turn the lights on, so if the seat isn't down, I get to sit on the rim which one of the kids has probably pissed all over anyway, so then I have to have a shower to make myself almost feel clean, which wakes me up well and truly so I can't sleep, and then I lay there ruminating on what a bunch of selfish, thoughtless males I live with.

Trust me, in our house, it's better to just put the seat down.

Shawnee, I know what you mean. Our cats do that too, especially if their water bowl doesn't get filled up. It's gross.
BrianR • Aug 28, 2008 6:52 pm
Several of our dogs also have a big, elevated water bowl, which I try to avoid, but usually fail. I shrug it off as they are NOT permitted kisses.

I put the seat down anyway. I do not pee standing up due to...um...aftermarket modifications to the waste water drain outlet. So I'm easy to live with that way.

Must be awesome to talk to a stupid customer like that. I admire you, LJ.

I read a pretty good analysis, using game theory, of the toilet seat problem. The answer was that it is by far easier and more efficient to leave the toilet seat up. In reality, if doing something as easy as leaving the seat down is going to make all of the women in my life happier, then that's what's going to happen.

All your toilet seat problems solved ! :)

I had everyone trained to close the lid but I guess we've all been slipping. Leaving it open is just gross though... aside form the poop molecules on your toothbrush from flushing, it just looks gross when you enter the bathroom.

There are SO many things I didn't say to the passport bitch at the post office yesterday...

You weren't getting the kids passports by any chance, were you? That's a horrible experience. We had to leave one post office and drive across town when we did that because I couldn't deal with the oaf behind the counter at the first place.
Juniper • Aug 28, 2008 10:10 pm
We leave it up, gross or not, because we have five cats and two dogs and nobody can remember to fill up the damn water bowls. As long as it's flushed, I don't really care if it is a pet drinking fountain.

Which leads me to something I don't say, quite often: "Flush the goddamn toilet, nobody wants to come in and look at your turd sitting there!"

Translation: "::sigh::" ...flush.

Except that the dogs don't drink neatly, slurp, drip, slurp, drip. After they're done, the bathroom floor needs mopping. Which doesn't mean that anyone will volunteer to mop it. Which means that if you go in there with socks on, those socks will soon be coming off. Which means that on any given day there are at least a dozen balled-up soggy, filthy socks scattered throughout the house.

So here's another thing I don't say: Pick up your socks, do you think the friggin' sock fairy will get them for you?

And another: "Get those stupid dogs out of the house, they can drink from their water bowl on the porch."

Translation: "::sigh:: I'll get the mop."

But if the seat is left down, the seat gets wet too. And in our master bath, where Tabby the Ancient lives (she was my mom's cat, we inherited her, she's 16 and senile and pees on the floor...which is why she stays in the bathroom) there are going to be wet clay cat litter footprints all over the seat. Ew.

It's like they think they have a stressfull job pushing those papers around... give me a break.
No, the kids are next but I can't find their birth certs. I know they're here somewhere though....
Sundae • Aug 29, 2008 5:47 am
Things I didn't say:

No I'm not alright. My life is falling apart. In fact if I think too hard I might start crying.

Translation
No don't worry everything's fine here, see you when I see you.
ZenGum • Aug 29, 2008 6:24 am
Didn't say:

What the fuck kiddie-grade English competency test did you pass to get into my class? There is no need to use "the" with country names. It is not The Canada. Who did you learn English from, Miss Teen South Carolina????

Said:
Good presentation. Well done.
Shawnee123 • Aug 29, 2008 8:43 am
Things I didn't say:

SG, I've been thinking about you and I know things will get better soon.

Said: nothing. :(

Also didn't say yesterday: Gee, I'm sorry I"m ruining your life by not doing a backflip as soon as you walked into the office and for not throwing money at you and for starving your children and hindering your tattoo acquisition...hey, here's an idea...have a box of condoms and quit procreating you loser freaking mudder focking piece of shit drain on society get a job you whiney sense-of-entitlement dumbass.

What I said: we are working through requests as fast as we can, and are required to process in order of receipt.

You all would be surprised if you ever saw me at work IRL. I'm actually quite friendly and accommodating, well most of the time I keep that smile pasted on...the Cellar is my place to vent what is running through my head after the 40 millionth time I've heard the same crap.:right:

I'm also seeing myself become less liberal and much more conservative and it scares me to pieces. Does this mean I am getting older or have I just seen too much?

Sorry for the threadjacking. :blush:
Griff • Aug 29, 2008 11:23 am
It's the seeing that does it. I think most of us moderate our views if we see a bit of the world.

I thought you didn't believe in poop molecules. Or am I thinking of someone else? *scratches head*

A little of both - You realize how hard you work for yours and you wanna keep it. That and the ticking clock.

SG -- here is something I WILL say: you're in my thoughts and I hope things get better very soon. I haven't "known" you long but you seem to be a very strong woman; I'm sure you'll be fine...eventually. In the meantime, it's quite OK to be NOT fine. Just wait it out, what's needed here the most is just plain old time. ::hugs::

Now, back to your regularly scheduled nonsense...

To the tech support woman from AT&T: "What are you wearing?"
wafflepirate • Sep 1, 2008 4:14 pm
Sorry, this thread has me confused...
Or rather, the responses do?

"What have you not said because you're a bad parent"?
Or... things you didn't say recently you should have said?

...
You guys are mean to your kids! In your heads... Wow, I hope my dad never thought this kind of stuff about me XD
Clodfobble • Sep 1, 2008 4:41 pm
It's "what have you wanted to say recently that you didn't say?" and the thing Griff didn't say to someone is "...because you're a bad parent." Other people's responses are things they didn't say to other people at other times.

Won't waste UT's bandwidth here. check youtube.
Juniper • Sep 1, 2008 10:48 pm
It's like this...

Some lady sits next to you at McD's with two unruly children who won't stop shrieking, throwing food at each other, won't keep their butts in their chairs long enough to eat a happy meal. And she looks over at you with this sad expression and says "I don't know WHY they act like this."

And you WANT to say "because you're a shitty mom!"

But you can't. You just nod and smile sympathetically and thank God you're almost done with your burger and can get the hell out of there.

That's the sort of thing we didn't say.

But you know, maybe more people should say what they really want to say instead of enabling all of these lame-ass losers who think they're doing JUST FINE because nobody complains.

Just a thought.
