I’m sorry, it’s me – I can’t help it. I’ve tried to keep the insanity from the door of this corner of the web but I can’t do it any longer.
The world in which we live is wonderful, beautiful and terrible thing and yet there’s few – well quite a lot of people actually that seem to want to ruin it for the rest of us. So I’m going to tell you about it. There’s will likely be the odd rude word and definitely a venting of frustration but I’m going to try and take the burrs off with some humour.
Some of you may even enjoy it… but I’m not going to count on it.
I find the human race generally annoying – I’m not saying it’s everyone else to be honest a lot of it is probably me being a miserable sod. However there are some things where I think I’m justified in being annoyed, if I was was to walk up to a male Lion and kick his family jewels annoying. Or perhaps the kind of annoying where I was to constantly talk over someone, or copy what they’re saying just to wind them up.
This annoying thing is where someone asks me do something leading up to the the question with “Can you just…”
Can I just? Hmm let’s see, yes I can and it’s not just and if you think it’s so damn easy why don’t you do it yourself? I mean it’s Just this or it’s just that so if that’s all it is…
I wouldn’t mind but it’s not even can I just wash up my cup, or my plate, it’s something for them for starters. I don’t get anything out of this and yet for some reason a lot of people warm me up to doing something for them with… Can I just?
To throw some metaphorical salt into the metaphorical wound it’s usually associated with a task that’s anything than ‘just’. The toilet needs fixing or the door I broke needs fixing or so and so’s room needs a lick of paint… can you just.
Yes I can just, but as a favour can you just sod off becasue actually I’m annoyed now. That’s the answer I give – but I’ll give you a fucking clue it’s not the answer in my brain.
I have a very strong filter it seems.
What have you been asked to ‘just’ do recently?
