I may have to punch someone(I know it's petty)

Comments from the weekend that have really bugged me:
- They had a person from Best Buy come out to work on their tv.  The guy noticed some stuff from DH's hs days (15 years later, don't ask).  MIL asks if DH knows the guy and he doesn't.  MIL replies "I didn't think so.  This guy was a band geek."

- Talking about sFIL's two grandsons she says she's glad the younger one likes sports.  Apparently they didn't think they could do anything with the older one because he didn't like to go to ball games. 

-She asked for Christmas ideas.  I gave her one, and she asked if he'd like an easel.  I said not this year, but maybe next.  She asked about an easel later that day and I said no.  I sent a link with what I was thinking, places to buy, coupon codes, etc.  She replies asking about the damn easel.  I DON'T WANT HIM TO HAVE ONE.

Other people I want to punch:
- BIL who wants to give away their rot mix dog.  Whodathunk that 2 adults, 3 kids, 2 cats, and 3 dogs would be too much for a 1200 sq ft home on a city lot.  From his fb "Last one in first one out."

- The jackazz that was sitting in a parked car smoking with a kid in a carseat in back.

- The person in the parking lot honking at me to shut the car door so she could park.  I guarandamntee that walk from the NEXT SPOT OVER wouldn't have hurt her fatass.  I also gaurandamtee I took my sweet ass time buckling the kid in.

    Sounds like you should just let MIL get him the easel. Put it in the basement. If she asks, say, "he's just not ready for it yet."
    As for the rest. Eh, go ahead and punch them.  Then put your belly forward and walk away. :)

    RUDE, all of them.

    Get the easel, get a receipt.  Take it back, because you know she isn't going to listen to you.  OR better yet, turn it into firewood.  easy as that.  ;)

    I have a kid over here that needs a junkpunch at the moment.

    Can you believe he thought it was a good idea to show his Mr. Peter to a girl in class? She yelled, and the teacher and the entire class saw his Mr. Peter.

    I"m sure his parents will be so proud to get that call at work.

    Why did he do it, you asked?


    A dare.

    I'm laughing at the kid.  I know it's wrong, but I hope it was small and shames him.

    I want to punch your BIL too.

    And the parking lot thing annoys me, too.  It's one thing to sit and wait on a spot if the lot is completely full, but usually there's another one less than 10 feet away.

    I'm grr-ing for you 6.  I knew it wouldn't be long before MIL would be up to shenanigans again.

    NOLA, I'm LOL-ing and SMH @ the same time over your kid.

    6, I'm sure you are proabably right. I'm also sure that puts an end to his "dare" days.

    <div>Yes! Yes. You are going to the gym, I think you can walk a bit further, and likely should.</div>

    And 6, I'd outright return the easel if she gets it. I would kill for my SIL to at least have a clue what her kid wants for the holidays.

    The honker had no gym membership- The minivan was held together with duct tape (literally), there was a cigarette hanging out of her mouth, a do-rag on her head, and some nasty ass sweats on.

    Oh!  I've got another parking lot one - same story, different verse:  when some douchenozzle leaves their cart in a parking space and there is a cart corral RIGHT THERE. Even if it's not RIGHT THERE - how long would it take you to walk it to the sidewalk in front of the store???

    6 - FWIW, Eva has a easel and she absolutely loves it.   Keeps her quiet and busy for a good 20 minutes.   And she's only allowed to have crayons at the easel and then they go back up high where she can't get them.

    AF- He's getting a table and chairs for crafts.  I don't want the easel on top of that.  She also said something about a play kitchen.  She seems to think I don't want it because he's a boy.  Truth is I don't care, but he never plays with them when we are out places and I don't want something that big in our house.

    notamrs.  On many, many occasions I waddled my fat, pregnant ass along and corralled the carts of the asshats of the world.  I also shot disapproving looks at them as I collected their cart with my own and returned them to their proper place.  Now, even with DD on my hip, I corral my damn cart and will do the same just to shame a lazy asshat who doesn't/won't.  I did it just last week.  This guy couldn't get the cart to "latch" onto the curb (the corral was just acrosS The adjoining spot).  I walked over with DD on my hip, purse in hand, my cart in the other, said, "ForFUCK'sSake," ripped the cart from the curb and took to the the corral.  The guy said, "You didn't have to do that!"  I said, "I know.  But I don't mind assisting the mentally and visually handicapped."  He called me a b*tch and drove off.

    Sugar and I were at the store and a lady let go of her cart and hit our car.  Not hard enough to damage, but it pissed him off.  He open the door and told her the cart return is right there, and she called him an @$$ hole and said she could see.  I got out of the car and told her that it was stupid b*****s like her that made me wish that natural selection still applied.
