O.K. , toss me a fricken' bone on this , what did I do wrong ?
It was my pal's Birthday . I tried baking someone Birthday cookies and then thought , screw em', these cookies are too good to give away , so I ate the cookies and felt a whole lot better that I didn't contribute to my friends ever growing weight problem.
Thought about getting a Birthday card at the drugstore , spent a hour looking for the right one , put it in the buggy , got up to the express line and seen the price when it rang up . $8.99 ???
Oh heck no ! A trip to the post office and a stamp , would just jack that price up to $10.00 . Besides it's not like I wrote the cheesy thing. I hear a more personal type of gift is most preferred for Birthdays .
I decided to give a gift from the heart , went fishing Saturday night and after quite a few hours of serious fishing got a big ol' hum dinger of a fish.
I thought it would be a nice surprise if I put it in the mail box , kinda like those mail order meals only mine would be fresher .
My friend calls me up on Monday just a screaming all kinds of vulgarities at me, is it my fault they didn't check the mail on Sunday ?
I know , y'all would think with em' being all ungrateful because they didn't get to enjoy a fresh fish dinner on me that I should cut my losses .
Nope, I made it up to em' . The next Friday night I caught a mess of fish and gave it to em' as an apology , only this time I tossed them in their car so they will find them a whole lot sooner .
Anyway my bud must have got them and liked them a whole bunch . He called today to say that come this Monday he's getting a restraining order for me . I told him that wasn't necessary to order me anything because I have enough tie-down straps and bungee cords to last awhile and if he meant those kinky restrains I wasn't interested in taking our friendship into that kind of thing .
He just screamed and hung up the phone .
So there is my dilemma , what did I do wrong ?
