A Meanie Fun Monday

This week is hosted by Sauntering Soul. She is challenging us to:

Come on - it's confession time! List the small things you do that make you a jerk and elaborate just a bit on each one. Please tell me I'm not the only jerk around here!

Me? Be a jerk? Never! .......................... Okay, maybe once or twice or thousands of times. What can I say? I'm a pain in the ass with rude tendencies. So, my not so proud list........(the skeletons are really coming out for this one.)

1. I gave out my ex-best friend's phone number to many a guy while bar hopping.

2. I ate the last of Aaron's M&M's the other day. I couldn't help myself. Shhhh, it will be our little secret.

3. I hide all receipts and shopping bags from Kevin after my shopping excursions.

4. I never put down my correct weight on my driver's license.

5. I yell....a whole lot more than I care to admit.

6. I've left lousy tips to waiters/waitresses after poor service.

7. I've flipped people off while driving.

8. Sometimes, I let Aaron watch a bit too much tv on days when my life seems crazy and I need him to be preoccupied.

9. I am not sympathetic to Kevin when he gets sick or hurt. I try, but I really want to say "Just deal with it." Yeah, I'm a bitch and working on it. At least I make up for it in other areas.

10. I didn't go to Ken's hockey game today because I feel like crap. Spending 6 hours laying kitchen flooring yesterday and my body is not too happy with me today. Man, getting old sucks. Needless to say, I feel guilty for missing Ken's game. That and I had no urge to see the ex-wife on Mother's Day.

See? I'm a big fat meanie.........well, only some of the time. Go check out everyone else's confessions. I'm off to make Mother's Day dinner for my MIL. You should see the dessert I made. I'm drooling just thinking about it. Recipe and pictures Tuesday!

I LOVE #1......wish I would have thought of that!

Being nice is overrated! :)

Happy Mother's Day!

[Sandy]

#6? Not mean - just realistic. Crappy service equals crappy tip. Seems like a no brainer to me.

[IamwhoIam]

Well I guess even supper mom is human sometimes.

I am totally human. I even pick my nose sometimes.

[Anglophile Football Fanatic]

What a good DIL. I'd never make my MIL anything. And, I do/can't see what's wrong with 3-9.

[Alison]

well my driver's license definitely does not have the correct weight on it...and I am very impatient with hubby when he is sick...I am with you girlfriend...

[Beckie]

I really don't think that any of that is all that mean....#1 is just plain funny. I couldn't think of any good jerky things that I have done (that I wanted to write about on the Internet) so my FM is just plain weak.

[Hootin' Anni]

giving smaller tips to waiters/waitresses who are not good service givers? I don't think that as being a jerk! Not at all.

Oh ya, I've done that to drivers all the time.

[Jacki]

Actually, you are pretty normal. I yell at crazy drivers, let Emma watch TV all day sometimes and totally never feel sorry for my husband when he is sick. I gave birth, a "man cold" has nothing on that.

[SwampAngel65]

I am right there with you on 2-9!

In order to drive properly in Miami, it was a necessity to learn how to yell cuss words in Spanish. So I can cuss you out and count to ten in Spanish!

And how stupid is it anyway, to have weight listed on a Driver's License! We go up and down monthly. It is within our rights to shed our winter storage of fat every summer. So what the HELL is the point of putting weight on the license? I tend to list my ideal-dream weight...sometimes you just gotta say WTF!

[Dee]

Your not a big fat meany! I'm guilty of a few of those same offenses. :)

[Swampy]

Those things aren't being a jerk. They are normal. Ok, I'll fess up here at your place if you won't tell anyone. Since the "word" EX rang a bell for me.
Just prior to filing for divorce, I was distraught with his "actions." So I very carefully used a seam ripper to "release" the threads from the crotches of his slacks...all of them. Was that being a jerk?

[Burgh Baby]

Thanks for stopping by my place, even if you did leave some fighting words behind. ;-)

I can't remember a single time when I've been sympathetic towards my husband when he was sick. It would be a whole lot easier if he weren't such a big baby.

[Karmyn R]

Okay - who does put down their real weight on their DL? Maybe guys do - but no woman does.

And tipping? If I get poor service - I tip poor. I don't think tipping should be a requirement. It is suppose to be an extra - an earned extra. the IRS owed all service employees back-money if you ask me.

[chrisb]

LOL I considered a lot of these to be normal responses! Why do men think they should have sympathy when they make such a fuss over nothing!

[Sayre]

I hate it when hubby gets sick. He's such a big baby and wants to be waited on hand and foot. I want to slap him instead.

When I'm sick, I want everyone to go away and leave me alone.

Guess we're both jerks, huh?

[jennife]

I laughed at the phone number thing. And you don't pet your sweetie when he's sick? Now that could possibly be jerky! :^D

Jennifer

[Lisa's Chaos]

I'm with you when my guy is sick I really feel that "get over it" attitude, yet when I'm sick I'm a whiny mess. So I guess I am an even bigger jerk.

I don't eat the last of the candy I hide the candy, does that make me a jerk?

:)

[Jo Beaufoix]

I think I've done pretty much all of those things. You're not mean, just human. :D

[Faye]

Well I don't think you're ready for Jerk Anonymous despite what you say Nikki!

[Sauntering Soul]

These are all awesome!

As far as hiding receipts and bags after shopping I heard a story once and maybe you can try it sometime and report back to us. There was a lady who said after she went shopping she always drove immediately to the dry cleaners and dropped off all of the new clothes she had purchased. Then when her husband picked them up he would ask her "are these new clothes?" And she would reply "well, of course they aren't. They were obviously dirty from being worn since you just picked them up from the cleaners."

[IamwhoIam]

So how is the new flooring and you feeling better and Ken survived so fogive yourself and make Ken smile.

[Molly]

Hey, I never put my correct weight either. Since I intend to lose the weight before the next license renewal, I am merely telling the way (or the weigh) it is going to be. Right?

[Nekked Lizard Man]

This is such a good Fun Monday. I am getting so many ideas for the future and re-enforcing those habits I thought I had hidden oh so long ago. NLM

[Tiggerlane]

Ooh..hiding the receipts? That's jerky? I should have made my list MUCH longer!

Oh, and I eat my kid's candy...so I'm a bigger jerk than I thought!

[Pamela]

yeah.. I lie a little more every time I renew my license
