I should've read the fine print

[stonebender]

Some of the stuff I didn't sign up for when I was born disabled.

* Sometimes I just want things done my way. I don't care if it makes sense. I don't care if there's a better way. If I could do it myself I'd just do it and save the argument.

* As I age, I seem to be losing my patience. I thought I'd get more patient as I got older.

* There is just not enough room! When I need my mouth stick I want to be able to reach it. When I don't need it. I want it to disappear. Too many things are out of my reach or in my way! Especially when they are the same damn things!

Yes, these are minor matters in a pretty excellent life and I should concentrate on the good stuff. I am not always good at doing the things that would be good for me.

PS This particular post was written three days ago. I thought I lost it to the bit bucket, but when I went to post to LJ the program asked me whether I wanted to recover my text from a previous post and there it was! I'm nowhere near as frustrated as I was when I wrote it, but I thought I'd keep it.

Well, there's that, and then there's just individual idiosyncrasy. Small (very small) example: When I alphabetize my books, I alphabetize by author, then by title. stonebender keeps series by the same author together. When I organize his books, it goes his way, no matter how I feel about it. If he could do it himself, it would be his way -- it would be incredibly patronizing of me to decide to do it my way just because they're my hands that are doing the work. Neither of us is wrong in our decision of how to organize books, but many people decide that because he isn't able to physically do something, he doesn't get to say how it's done. Frustrating when I see that happening.

Almost as frustrating as when servers ask me what he wants. Next time that happens, I swear I'm gonna say "Well, he wants *sex*, but that's my job -- how about you ask him what FOOD he wants, since that's YOUR job."

*Snark*

Oh I would pay money to see the look on a servers face if you said that to them.

I would love to be there when you do.
