Funny things parents do - inspired by Nevore's thread.

Okay, while reading Nevore's thread about his Dad ironing money and burning it, I got to thinking of the funny things my parents do, such as:

- Dad irons sock "because it's easy", like that's his reason, just because it's easy.
- Mam created a black bag (plastic) tunnel to put on the washing line, when it rains she just runs out and pulls the bag across the washing, that way she doesn't have to take it all in and put it all out again.

Now for my conclusion; When you go around the 45ish mark you slowly but surely stop giving a f*ck what other people think of the little things, you get to the stage where you're like "I'm just doing it this way, I know that's unusual but tough sh*t if you don't like it."

Personally I'm really looking forward to that level of not-giving-a-sh*t, long way off, but defo looking forward to it

Now your turn!!!!

funny things parents do?

My parents usually mess up during arguments. for instance....



"Your Mother and I work overtime so we can keep this house running. Everytime you get your paycheck you waste it all, same with food, do you think it grows on trees?!?!"

"Well Yeah! ha"

"Don't be a smartass"

":rolleyes:"

Thats a very stupid way of thinking "Oh I could do this an easier way but people might think I'm weird so I'll just try and be normal and fit in by making more work for myself". If something is easier to do and it has the same result then do it, who gives a f*ck what anyone thinks? I don't understand why you have to be older to put binbags over a washing line to stop your clothes getting wet?!

Jesus who pissed in your cornflakes? :eek: Firstly I'm not stupid. :mad: Secondly I never said you had to be older to put binbags on your washing line, don't quote my post if you didn't bother reading it first :mad::mad::mad: Someone should have told you that snide people don't come across smart to other people, they come accross as d*ckheads.
