What REALLY grinds your gears?

People are definitely way too hooked on their phones these days. Always amazes me at work how many people leave their ringers cranked up, and of course whenever their phone rings they're not at their desk so you have to listen to Gangnam Style or some other dumb ringtone at a piercing volume.

I actually do not own a Fishing Game(I know what your thinking)....sooooo WTF? I had to go do the real thing.
A day in the Ten Thousand Islands site-casting for Giant Snook will have to do. I don't "get" being that attached to the electronic virtual life.....thing......

...and I go silence their phones. I don't care about the "personal property" aspect...you're annoying the hell out of everyone.

That is sad but also realize that at times parents need a break too. I am not saying a whole basketball game break.

My tee ball complaints are stemmed from watching the same parents week after week doing the same thing and my neighbor.

But you really can't judge a parent by one glimpse into their lives. Everyone is going to have DAYS or moments with their kids.

I am just saying in general to everyone realize the child you see having a tantrum in the grocery store or restaurant is probably not reflective of their actual life or their parents skills to raise them. They are most likely having a moment.

It is a hard job being a good parent but worth it.

You get a break when you've done your job to raise them to live on their own. Until then, you made the choice to have sex and have kids, so they're your life now.

*For the record, I'm coaching my son's Tee-ball team. I wouldn't miss it for the world.


That lady I saw...I've just never seen someone on a phone AND computer at a sporting event before, in a foreign language on top of it! :D

I'll pick my son off at preschool if I have a day away from the office and have no one to talk to while waiting because every other parent (mother) is playing with their phones.

Maybe its b/c I had my so late in life (40 when my son was born and 44 when my daughter was born), I just can't imagine ignoring them the way I see some parents do. After all the crap in my life, these two little people are the most interesting things happening to me. Barring my wife, their is no one and nothing that is more important than them. On top of that, they just make life fun.

Yesterday my little girl was dancing and singing with no music and just a big smile. I asked what she was so happy about. "I dunno" was her response and then back to singing, dancing and smiling. Who the f' wants to miss that?

Ok I have to ask were you profiling a white girl. LOL

Yep.

I figure that had a lot to do with why she complained.

Reminds me of this quote from Knocked Up, talking about kids and bubbles

Ben: "They seem to love bubbles."

Pete: "Oh, god, they go ape shit over bubbles."

Ben: "They're really going ape shit."

Pete: "I mean, that's an incredible thing about a child. I mean, what's so great about bubbles?"

Ben: "They float. You can pop them. I mean, I get it. I get it."

Pete: I wish I liked anything as much as my kids like bubbles.

Ben : That's sad.

Pete: Totally sad. Their smiling faces just point out your inability to enjoy anything.

Just that life is much more simple when you're a kid. Just about anything can bring you joy. That's pretty damn cool.

Prostate exams.


Soon.
