tsatske -> Master is SO INCONSISTANT! (5/14/2008 1:10:44 PM)
|
I was joking with Master that I was going to post this. Then I got to thinking, maybe I should. It brings up a point that I think that we on collarme should be a little bit more aware of, when answering posts. (some of the regular posters are very aware of this, i have to say, but it is still an issue you see a lot.)
So, here is what happened:
This weekend we had to go out of town on family business. We took 'my' car instead of Master's pickup, because it uses a LOT less gas. While stopped at the gas station to gas up before getting on the freeway to go, Master noticed i had a turn signal out.
So, while at the hotel, when he had a morning of free time before we had our family obligations, he pops down to the autozone and buys a bulb. replacing the bulb didn't work, so he disassembles my dash to try a couple quick cures, then decides it needs to wait till we are home with his tools. but he PUTS MY DASH IN THE FLIPPING TRUNK. his thinking, according to him, is, 'why put it all back together, in the parking lot of the hotel, just to take it apart again when we get home?' I told him i might have to think twice next time he wants to borrow my car. (uh, yea... he suggested i re-evaluate my definition of the word 'my')
So, we get home for the weekend. He tries a few more things. At this point my instrument panel is sitting in the drivers seat. That is the condition, on Monday night. He tells me he now knows what is needed, and will come home from work, middle of his workday, tomorrow, to fix it. I say, let it be, fix it when you get home, i can just not go anywhere tomorrow. I also mention, grinning, that i didn't want to go to my stupid WW meeting anyway. <grin>
Master uses a stern Master voice and says, 'You are going to your weigh in'.
So, Tuesday morning at eleven, i go to my car. Imagine my surprise when i find my instrument panel on my drivers seat!
But I am a good little sub. an order is an order! challenges must be overcome! Master will be so proud of me! So i put the instrument panel up on the dash, and away i drive.
a short while later, ( before arriving at my destination) i receive a call from Master. "Slut, where are you?'
'Why, Sir, I am on my weigh to be wayed.'
"YOU ARE DRIVING THAT CAR IN THAT CONDITION?"
'uhm... no, maybe not, i am thinking i am turning it around and coming home.'
Now, if the last thing he said to me was clearly an order to leave the house - i mean, all i did was obey.. how can he be so mad at me??? [sm=sad.gif]
anyway, my point being - presented in the proper light, i can get a bunch of nice people on collarme to tell me Master has communication problems, is not to be trusted, run don't walk the other way, don't play with someone who can't communicate better than this, ect, ect.
OTOH, if Master posted this, he could surely get a bunch of nice people to agree with him when he says, 'and it didn't occur to you to CALL me before you drove off in that thing?'
His take is, of course, that he meant to get back before i had to use the car, and he didn't, and, hence, wouldn't i call to double check?
just a communication glitch in real, day to day life. but, presented in the right light, either one of us could get loads of sympathy for 'what we have to put up with', if you are into that kind of drama.
