Thread for Things That Made You Frown Today

To be honest, the hypocrisy is on both sides. Some of the biggest hypocrites I deal with are Christian Conservatives. Like one of my neighbors.

Hell yes. Only they don't even pretend to be teaching tolerance anymore, do they? My amusement lies in the fact that extremists on both sides are very much more like each other than they'd ever care to admit.

Is that the one who watches his lawn like a hawk?

No.. this is the one that lives in our cul-de-sac that works for a church that is aggressive about the tithe that people donate.. while he spent 100K+ on his house renovations. For Christmas, our cul-de-sac spends about a week decorating the neighborhood for the children to enjoy and each year we have a theme... and while the wife is an active participant.. the husband is no where to be found. He doesn't help with the $ or help putting things up.

I hate when these niggas on antique roadshow get a big appraisal and act all cool like they don't even care. Nigga you brought it all the way to the roadshow, you care.

Does it need more banana clips?

Yes. One of those ones with big, bulbous, mushroom-like tips on each end.

God told him not to dirty his hands when there were lesser beings nearby that could be commanded to do the work instead.

Well, it's not for me.. except for the extra time with the family, I don't care much for Christmas. It's not for the "prize" of $250 for the best decorated neighborhood.. I ended up spending close to $750 this year alone. I do it for one neighbor actually.. a 68 year old lady who is 5'0" and probably weighs 80 pounds that lives in Chicago and comes down 6-7 times a year. She lives for the month of December and starts figuring out what next year's theme will be before we are done setting this year's decorations up.

Next year's theme will be an ice skating rink in the middle of the cul-de-sac. It's my job to do the actual ice rink.

Yea.. for an employee of the Church, he's neither nice nor neighborly. His wife is super nice, which forces me to not call him out for being a hypocritical douchebag.

Still feeling like a sack of hammered buttholes. Doc said to ride it out til Wed, if I still feel shitty we'll re-evaluate and move on.
