29: Stupid Shit

Few things are more annoying than when somebody asks me to do something there is no reason they can't do themselves. My mother is the QUEEN of that shit. Today she emailed me at work telling me that my sister was at home today and could I ask her what her shoe and clothes sizes are because she saw some stuff my sister likes and she has to rush the order.

*staring into the camera*

Okay first of all, there is always something wrong with the picture when my mother goes into extra detail. It's like with any liar, addressing concerns before any even come up. That's not to say she's lying, but she's definitely trying to manipulate me; all the extra detail is her tell. Secondly - and this is the part that really gets me - if you have to rush an order (presumably to get it to my sister in time for her birthday) why the fuck are you wasting valuable time emailing me when you can just ask her yourself? I mean, she knows her birthday is next week, and she knows you gonna send her something cause you always do, so it's not like it's gonna be some secret surprise or some shit. You very clearly spoke to her or else you wouldn't know she was at home today, but it made better sense for you to email me and ask me to ask her something you coulda asked her while you had her? Fuck kinda sense does that make?

Needless to say, sorry, no. Can't. I'm at work, I'm working. I'm not about to stop what I'm doing to do your stupid bidding. I mean .... is it me or is that just really silly? I'm still trying to figure out how that made sense to her. It's another thing that annoys me with her; when she gets me to do something, she keeps pushing for more. Stop that shit. For instance, she was talking to me last week about my sister's birthday and how she told her she wanted a Michael Kors bag and how she had also wanted a fat chain and a cross for the longest. She was was basically saying she didn't really know where to find either of them and she also wasn't sure how much it would cost. Well, mama.... I do know how much that would cost and if I leave that with you, my sister will be getting a very nice card and an invitation to order anything she wants out of your Chadwick's catalog LOL. But my sister is a really good person with a really good heart and I wanted her to have what she wanted, so since I was in a position to do it, I offered to get her the bag so my mom could just focus on finding the chain or whatever. Why we even talking about clothes now, I don't know, but just because I offered to help out on that ONE thing, doesn't mean keep asking me to do shit. Her bag is on it's way, she'll have it tomorrow. My part is done, leave me alone. Stop asking me about stupid stuff you can do yourself. All it's gonna do is cause a fight. I'm gonna tell you it's stupid, I'm gonna tell you no - not necessarily in that order LOL - and then you're gonna get an attitude but of course, you'll try to make it my fault cause I'm being "disrespectful" or "selfish" any time you can't get me to do something, and of course my reaction gon be like "aight den" which is just gonna piss you off more, so why even do it? Let's just skip to the end, I'll see you in 6 months LOL.
