for fuck's sake

If you do something for someone, that's great - and you should be thanked. Of course. That's common courtesy. You should expect that and deserve it. Yes, ABSOLUTELY.

I'm telling you right now though, if you CHOOSE to do something for someone - do not remind them of it every fight you have. That's unfair and ridiculous.

You MADE THE CHOICE to do it.
No one held a gun to your head!

(and if they did - call a Cop and don't do shit for that person, short of escorting them to the Police Squad Car.)

Provided no 911 calls are involved, for the fucking LOVE OF GOD - shut the fuck up about it after that.

Do NOT penalize someone for a decision that you freely made and make them pay for it over and over again.

If you DO...

There's a really good fucking chance that whatever you did do that won you accolades in the first place will go from being a really nice memory that you were happy about because it seemed like someone gave a fuck about you enough to go out of their way to be a normal human fucking being - to being something you wish they never did for you because you're sick as shit of hearing about it 80 million times.

God.
SHUT UP ALREADY.

Seriously, does this shit even need to be said out loud?
Is this not just common fucking sense?

Yes, with the ways of the world today - I really do have to ask that question...oh My God...clearly it needs to be said because I'm writing this stupid ass post...

Because I can tell you this...

I don't ask anything above and beyond what's reasonable, if I even ask you for anything in the first place - WHICH I RARELY EVER DO.

And smart, stupid, what have you - if you piss me off, you can't do a thing in the world for me. On top of that, I will be largely unimpressed with you as a person and dread the next time you think about MAKING THE CHOICE to do something else - because I know I'll have to hear about it like you're a broken record.

I'd MUCH rather: do without, live on the street in a cardboard box, eat Ramon noodles until I run out of change and die ALONE than to have something as fucking moronic as that thrown in my face at every turn.

When YOU decided to do it.
ESPECIALLY if you weren't even ASKED.

wtf is that?!

And here's the kicker! If you actually shut up versus throwing it in my face every five seconds - the chances are GREAT that I'll give you credit for whatever it is that you did 1,000 fold in my head and out loud because it was such a nice thing that you did!

Perfect example...one of the best and most complete gifts I've ever received was this past Christmas from spazz.me...a coffee maker...No, a KICK ASS coffee maker!

I love this machine. I mean, I love this machine like...the kids will go before I'd let this machine go... like, if there was a fire... I'd have to debate on the family pictures or this machine... I love it like that...

EVERY MORNING and about 12 other times a day when I see it or use it...I thank her in my head...probably because she's sick of me sending her messages five months later still saying, "I LOVE THIS COFFEE MAKER - Thank you!!"

-- but I do and I'll never forget that she thought enough about me to get it for me... just, out of the blue... no warning... it just showed up one day... simply because she thought I'd like it... and never once expected anything more than a reply to the question, "did it make it there okay?"...

How's THAT for irony?

If you're doing it for the praise though - don't.

Remember what I wrote JUST YESTERDAY?! What you don't want never changes? I don't want that. I HATE that.

Sign your name at the end of this post so I know that you get what I'm saying and pledge that you won't be a dickhead like that.

Do it.
