Ridin' High on a Feelin'

[the_wanlorn]

So I just totally skooled/pwn3d/whathaveyou my da. Kerry's complaining vociferously about something from school. Da tells her she should shut up and stop complaining in many different ways. Kerry tells him to fuck off (in many ways), pulling out much dramatics about bottling up anger and taking a shotgun to her room and shooting herself (no she wasn't serious, she was trying to make a point). Da pulls out the "I was sad because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet" line. Except he said that and it made my grammatically!correct!muse cringe. So I yelled out "BULLSHIT" because I can think of a hundred reasons why that is possibly the stupidest, meanest, most ridiculous phrase ever (a couple of which were stollen from edallia). I don't enlighten him much cuz he's a stodgey old bastard that refuses to ever admit that his "pearls of wisdom"* might be wrong. I did, however, make them comment that if we should be thinking about the people with no feet and how our problems don't matter in the bigger picture, then he should be considering that the kitchen doesn't matter in the big picture and that he should stop yelling at the contractors and stuff. What about the people who have no kitchen because they're homeless or live in trailers? He responded with something about me being right and that they would stop complaining. Or whatever. Less than a minute later, Mum's playing with the lights. In a peeved voice (read: he was complaining), he goes, "Now, wasn't it your understanding that half the lights would be on one switch and half would be on- ..." And of course, I respond, "I told you that you would be complaining about it again!! PWN3D!!!" Kerry - 1 (because I proved that she had a right to complain, just as she was saying) Me - 1 Da - ZEE-RO!!!! In other news, go tell the world about your sadness. In OTHER other news, have I become a link whore?? *I prefer to refer to them as "blather spewed because no one else in this family is allowed to complain but him"

I hate when someone complains and then someone else responds with "think of blah blah blah who has it so much harder than you do!"

By this logic, only the person who has the worst life in the world can complain, which is ridiculous.

P.S. Good trumping.
