Things that annoy me #1
I say #1 because I'm sure there will be more to come. Also because this has turned out to be a list of one thing, because I had something else to write about but now I've forgotten.
1. I'm not quite sure how to describe this. I think it comes down to people not paying attention. All I know is, it happens most often with my mother.
Case study one:
Mum: There's a sale on at Farmers today.
Me: Yes, I know.
Mum: Did you know? I'm sure there's something you'll want to buy.
Me: Yes mum, I know there's a sale. We got their mailer.
Mum: There's 20% - 50% off.
Me: Yes, I know. I don't want to get anything right now.
Mum: It's only on for today.
Me: Yes, I know. But I'm not going to go.
Mum: Cheap things.
Me: I know, but-
Mum: At Farmers.
Me: YES I KNOW YOU SAID I ALREADY KNEW BUT YOU KEPT TELLING ME ANYWAY NOW HUSH.
Case study two:
Me: (turns down heater)
Mum: Oh, is it too cold? Did you turn up the heater? It's not that cold, is it?
Me: No, I turned it down.
Mum: Well, you are drinking a cold drink, maybe that's why you're so cold.
Me: ...
(brief pause)
Mum: Oh.
