Why Is It ...

… that some people think I’m rude, when the fact is that I have the balls to say what everyone else is thinking?

… that I don’t always tolerate stupid people but when I do so, it’s probably because I’m at work and there’s a paycheck involved?

… that for some people every day is a ‘new day,’ but for me I look at it as a another chance to piss off a whole new group of people?

… that people who ask me what I’m doing tomorrow are under the assumption that I even know what day of the week it is?

… that I sometimes think I’ll wake up early and go for a run, but other days I think I’ll wake up early and win the lottery? I mean, the odds are about the same.

… that some people think a secret group of rich people control everything instead of it being a widely known group of people who control everything?

… that I was hoping to age like a fine wine, but it appears I’m aging more like an avocado?

  2. Funnily enough that first thought is one that our Home Secretary wishes to promulgate - everyone on this side of the pond hates immigrants, we think that the homeless should be thrown out of tents in the middle of winter and that immigrant children should not be greeted by murals of children's heroes....they might mistake that for a welcome.

  3. What a shame about the avocado bit, my value keeps going up day by day, not to mention my alcohol content.

  4. I've seen your picture Bob and you look way way better than an avocado.... you silly handsome boy!

    Much like you and Anne-Marie I have absolutely no filter either.

    1. Maybe sometimes I FEEL like an avocado.
      And who needs a filter???

  5. Ha! I think the problem with that first one is assuming everyone else thinks what you think. :) After all, Marjorie Taylor Greene says that, doesn't she?! Or, as Helen points out above, our odious Home Secretary, Suella Braverman.

    Days of the week, easier when
    you are retired - unless you hear
    the garbage truck coming down the
    street and you haven't put out the garbage!

  7. Since I've retired, I only have a general sense of the day of the week. Forget the date entirely, though I generally know what month it might be.
    Years ago I was at a work function and they had one of those stupid icebreakers. You had to talk one on one with someone else and learn their greatest and dislike and then share that info with the entire group. My dislike was "stupid people" and for some reason the group thought that was hilarious. Seriously, who likes stupid people...we may have to tolerate them sometime but like them? I think not.

    1. I'd prefer to be wine, but sometimes it's more overripe avocado!

  9. Something I read somewhere else: "When I win lotto" is starting to sound a lot like "When Covid is over"
    And the chances of me running anywhere are about the same.

  10. I am going to piss you off now Bob! In the fifth item you wrote "with the lottery" when you meant "win the lottery". Did you go to school?

  11. So many of these are random thoughts in my mind,

  12. The problem with saying what I think is that a lot of people don't agree with me.

    Love,

    1. I'm not sure I care about agreeing with me, but getting my opinion heard. I'm cool with disagreement.
