What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'd like to assign kids.

Well not kids, but their ability to be constantly playing musical disease chairs.
My niece comes home from school with something about twice a year.

Luckily I've only caught something once, but grrr.

Well– I assign hearing that everyone's supposedly chronically depressed. It makes me feel as if everything I do in life is useless and irrelevant.

But I just won't believe that. I firmly believe it's only a tiny minority, and that the great majority of people are capable of leading good, happy lives and enjoying themselves. (Seems to be true, in my experience.)

And please, no-one try to convince me otherwise. This is one of the beliefs I need.

Okay?

(Understand– this a thing I'm hypersensitive about... and actually, have wanted to get off my chest for a while.)

I agree with you completely. Most kids are most bothersome, I can think of only one exception to that rule.

I can think of one particularly annoying child. He's worse than Alien, and so is his cousin.

Rain on a night I'm supposed to be dressed formally, and had intended to wear my hair straight.

People who use other people.

People who send you text messages about what a lovely trip away they are having as you clear up the mess they have left...

Gwathagor · 05-01-2009, 03:38 PM

Wow, a text message? That's even worse than a phone call to the same effect. That's like saying, "I'm having a great time AND I don't care enough to actually call you!"

Admittedly they were on a cross channel ferry - but this is my sister who has full citizenship of Planet Me and may indeed regard herself as centre of the Universe.

If we are going to assign ill-behaved children, then we ought to also assign their parents.
