So here's how it goes. I was feeling queasy from watching 'Man vs. Wild' when my family and I hear a car screeching somewhere close to our street. It's not uncommon though, I mean, there are quite a few idiots living near where I reside. What wasn't common was the loud BOOM we heard shortly afterwards. My dad went outside to inspect to find that the mailboxes at the front [which are made out of brick] have been demolished. Just a quick explanation, I currently reside in a unit along with five other units, so it wasn't my mailbox that got killed. Anyway, being the father my dad is, he instructed me to call the police. So I called triple zero and told them the details, like license plate number, type of car, so on. They got my details down and that was it for that moment. About an hour later, they called again and confirmed some more details and informed me that they were trying to contact the driver and trying to find the car. What annoyed me was that during the phone call my dad kept blabbering away useless information that I already knew.
He was saying things like 'MAKE SURE YOU TELL THEM IT WAS WHITE. DID YOU TELL THEM IT WAS WHITE?? IT WAS A WHITE CAR. I REMEMBER IT. IT WAS A CAR THAT WAS WHITE.'
JEEZ alright alright, I get the message. It was white. But he kept going, so I told him to stop talking so loudly in my other ear because I can't hear what the police is telling me. Then would you bloody believe it. He gets extremely angry that I've told him to stop talking then starts ranting on and on about how useless I was, how he's put a roof above my head and this is what he gets. How the gods were being cruel to him for giving him such a disobedient child. Jeez. Suck it up. Stop being so anal. Apologies for language by the way. I had to even apologies several times to the police officer because she seemed a bit annoyed that she had to keep repeating stuff since my dad was being so loud. Anyway, even now, I know he's angry at me. Whenever he sees me, or if I walk past, he says things on the line of 'Disobedient bitch' or 'What kind of respect is this?'.
I'm not going to even bother correcting his stupidity. At least I know I'm more mature than him. As for the driver who killed my neighbour's mailboxes, you're an idiot too.
Until then.

ReplyDeleteHmm, I watched it too - I knew he was going to eat that marrow as soon as he mentioned it. And WHOA the boom. You hardly ever hear the boom. It's usually just the screech.
ReplyDeleteAnd. In my experience, silly people don't like to be told when they are being silly (or being an idiot as the case is). I'm sure you're not surprised. Head up. Deep breath. Stuff 'em. :):):):):)
:) ta. :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the articles, they were carried by independent type free magazines that don't archive on their websites. They were up when they were published, but now taken down unfortunately. You could try trolling the webbernets, but I'm not sure if they would be anywhere out there. They weren't really good anyways, just demographic type stuff, not greatly creative. :P
And I'm happy anything I have said to you has helped. It means more than I could say to know that.
:0 He does. He's got three sons and he lives with them and his wife on this house boat thing I think. Only he would have all sons ... But yeah, I kept saying the whole time "what about the camera man? How the hell is he going to get out of the river/across the canyon/through the snow!?" And I hope you're right about the book, too. Oh, do I ever!
ReplyDeleteThanks:) Lovely Melbourne weather by the sound of it ... not always the best. And yes, maybe I should have. But if I followed that philosophy then I would be going up to just about every girl I see! :P
ReplyDeleteThe Boom is very uncommon....hmmm...
ReplyDelete<3 the blog, btw!
Tell him he's an idiot! and then the next time he is making an important phone call, talk really loudly righ next to him! ;)
