Meme II

April 18th, 2006 - 6:15 pm

Two more to add to that meme I posted the other day. Yeah, I know it said ten, but I am expanding it.

11. I, and a great many other people could have told you this would happen, but you wouldn’t have listened to us and claimed we were stepping on your dreams or were jealous of your success. Now that your dreams have been crushed, I, and a great many other people, don’t know how to react or what to say, because the only thing going through our heads is … “No shit, Sherlock.”

12. If you are incapable of filling out a 1040 tax form without help, you lose the right to brag about being a mathematics major and ex-teacher. A monkey could fill out that form … a monkey on crack.

    And just exactly how did you come by so many irritating and irrelevant people in your life? You’ve posted only the punch lines; we want the good stuff.

    Yeah! Give us the dirt.

    I know entirely too many people. It’s either that, or I have been running with the wrong crowd since moving here.

    I’ll be dishing the dirt soon on the tax one. Really at the end of my rope … and he doesn’t have a computer, nor do his friends, and I am ready to give him grief the next time I see him. So why not gripe? I mean really, an adult male, college educated, in his 50s, and been on his own for his whole life, and he can’t even complete a simple tax form under the simplest of situations. It makes me crazy. :roll:

    Sounds like he has a case of selective skills. My wife is always saying that instead of really being hard of hearing that I only hear what I want to hear. sounds like the person you speak of may have the skills, but as long as he can con someone else into doing for him then his skills become selective.

    Well, yes, that’s absolutely it. If you can get someone else to do everything for you, why bother doing it yourself … which includes doing taxes and not getting a car so everyone has to drive you everywhere. I keep telling Lin he’s either getting used or is being an enabler of bad habits (massive mooching). I know he’s Lin best friend and all, but there comes a point where you have to just cut someone off on the “help”, and that point was passed, in my eyes, about two years ago. It makes Lin mad too, but he doesn’t do anything about it. Me? I’d at least be demanding gas money for all that chauffeur work.

    Lin needs to consider that the burden (of his friend) is also shared by you and is not his alone.
