I have to get this off my chest!
I am getting ready to go and sit my exam. Bf (who has day off work to revise for his exam tomorrow) comes into the study and says, "There's no picture on the TV". I say, "dial 150 and report it as a fault" (we have cable). He goes downstairs. A few minutes later, he reappears and says "I got a long recorded message telling me that there was a fault in the N4 area" (ie. not here). I said, getting slightly exasperated now, "did you report our fault?"; "no" he replies, "the message was too long and I had already pressed a lot of buttons on the phone." I say, "well I'll come and do it if you can't manage it yourself". "No, I'll do it then," he says crossly, and disappears again. A few minutes later he reappears and says, "I need to unplug the decoder, where is the plug?" (I am gnashing my teeth by this point, there are 4 power sockets to choose from.) I tell him to find where the power cable comes out of the back of the decoder and follow it back to the plug. Then unplug it. "Oh, I'll just unplug everything then," is his final statement, but he says it as if I am being unreasonable!! Would anyone else be slightly irritated by this? Am I being unfair? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif He is a lovely person, but not very practical! ------------------ http://www.gldb.com/wayno/epona2.gif Time is an illusion.

No Epona, you're not being unreasonable http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif. And even if you would have been, you're allowed to the day before your exam!
I'm sure he's a great person if you deem him worthy of your love http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif but he shouldn't bother you with that sort of thing right now. So tell him to stop bothering you and make you a nice cup of tea instead http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif ------------------ Melusine, Archbabe of the Order of the Holy Flame and the Laughing Hyenas, & Official Entertainer Elf of the BG2 Bar http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/memnoch/mel1.gif Your voice is ambrosia |
Maybe he wanted some attention? wierd way of going about it though. Or he just sucks with technology.

But you seem to be more nice and forthcomming then me! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif As punishment you can buy him some technical manuals for X-mus hehe.. Sorry, he´s probably a realcutie-pie for you in some otherareas..

Yes, I do think I'd find it annoying! Did you finally get it fixed? http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif And more importantly, how did the exam go?!!!

Epona, just smack him on the head with a frying pan. Worked for me every time. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif

Is this a boyfriend, husband...? I find I have very little tolerance for people like that. If you bring me a problem - you had better bring me a solution with it. People that can't think for themselves and need me to do everything for them get me extremely frustrated.
Like caleb said though, he probably just needed some attention. It is just a bad way to go about getting it. I am sure he must be a good guy in general though to be with someone like you. ------------------ "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his." -General George Patton (1885-1945) http://www.123imagehost.com/images/t...amber5copy.jpg |

Start by teaching him to dress himself, then tie his own shoes, then feed himself. Work your way up to cable. Go slow so as not to confuse the poor fellow. When you get to programming the VCR, let me know so you can show me too. Hehe!

I'd say wrap him up in a mattress and stuff him under the bedhttp://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
PS: I'm having exams next week too Epona - A-Levels right? Or are you doing something different? (So I need luck too!http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/hihi.gif ) My family ensure that they're always a 3-metre radius between any distracting activity and my resting place - since I tend to get a bit grumpy too about disturbance. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif ------------------ http://www.gis.net/~yos/lichwah.gif Greetings Mortals.

Oh, ye gods, Epona!
I'm so glad I no longer have roomies (my wife doesn't count!) What a dolt! Takes me back to my college days when I was ready to bash my pot-smokin' roomie over the head with my alarm clock for not being able to figure anything out and bugging me about it while I was preparing term papers!! Hm...I'm sure you can get QUITE creative with the punishments. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif You have carte blanche to do this, you know! Let us know how it turns out...and how your exams go! Best wishes. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif |

You'll be pleased to hear (and I certainly was) that the TV was fixed after a phone call to get our signal put back on after an overnight fault.
I may have sounded a bit harsh earlier, he is a wonderful man in many respects, but is one of those terribly intelligent yet slightly eccentric and totally impractical people. Can converse for hours about politics, philosophy and art, tells brilliantly funny stories, yet has trouble using the timer on the VCR (bf: "it has a timer?"). I should be flattered that if something doesn't work I am the person he thinks of asking. It just shows that as far as he is concerned there is nothing that I cannot fix! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Also if he ever wants information about anything I am the person he asks because he assumes I am likely to know the answer. I don't really think it was attention he was after on this occasion, he was in a state of panic because the remote control did not do its usual job! DONUT!!!: You ARE seeking attention. Report your own cable faults! Or I will try Memnochs frying pan suggestion! Wah, good luck in your exams. I am doing my finals, it will all be over soon! ------------------ http://www.gldb.com/wayno/epona2.gif Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so. Epona of The Laughing Hyenas |
Yes, I definitely think that he was being unreasonable. If that was my brother, I would've bobbed him over the head a few times. Looks like I have something to look forward to when I go off to college. Yay!!!
