Doesn't It Just Grind Your Gears When.....

[Safyre]

Just curious but would you consider it more appropriate if the guest brought you a coffee as well? We often stop at Tim Hortons but if we're going to visit someone we always ask if they'd like one too.....or just bring one along.

If you are close enough to be a guest in my house, then I would feel insulted that you found my hospitality so lacking that you had to provide your own food and drink...irrational on my behalf, possibly.

However, if you had been driving for several hours to visit and it wasn't from the Timmys at the top of the road, then I'd not be bothered.

And as an occasional coffee drinker I'd be surprised if you turned up with one for me. As that sounds rather cheap on the guest's behalf....I know you don't drink coffee so I bought 2 for me instead.

Darth put it very well!
My father often does this, brings over coffee after asking if he can grab one for me as well. I am not a coffee drinker, the only thing I order from Timmies is Hot Chocolate, so often the answer to his question is a No, but at least he was polite enough to ask.


I also find it rude to have the television on while you are entertaining (unless the entertaining involves the TV such as Superbowl, movie night), and I won't talk on the phone with the TV blaring. Just how I was raised I suppose

Sorry about the zucchini, Koolaid. The animal is giving you a compliment - the zucchini was at the peak of ripeness, so they just had to eat it.

I believe it was either mice or the "easter bunny" (DS calls it that) who have felt the wrath of the hose (light hose...not on jet....). I suspect it was revenge.

you run out of chocolate

EMERGENCY!!!! EMERGENCY!!!!! The horror!!!

I'm with your DS. I think it was the Easter bunny too.

Lol....well we're usually only visiting close friends or family so we obviously don't bring coffee if it's something we know they don't drink.....instead we'll offer/pick up a juice, pop, tea, hot chocolate etc etc. It's interesting to see the various opinions on this!! I've always thought of myself as a polite person and it's never even occurred to me that bringing along a coffee for myself and whomever I was visiting was rude! In fact years ago, we used to have a family gathering every week or so, with about 6 or 7 of us and we'd always stop at Tims first and bring a coffee for everyone. It was kind of tradition I suppose, lol.......and everyone was a chronic Tims drinker so it was never thought of poorly.

Anyone is welcome to show up at my house bearing goodies....especially anything in the chocolate family! lol

I can understand it in a get-together sort of way, someone always grabs the drinks, munchies, treats etc etc I get that one completely.

My comment is more towards when you've set up a time to just come over and chat, unless you said you were bringing something, or asked if you could, I'd find it very odd to see you show up with anything in your hands.

I mean, I wouldn't show up for dinner with a hamburger in my pocket, so why show up to chat with a coffee in hand?

Now bringing a treat everyone can enjoy (Laura Secord Chocolates) is just fine ;-)

When you have a friend of primary school move near you ...that is cool and I dont complain...my complain is when I take a conversation and he said to me all the stupidities a girlfriend (not anymore and never again ...she will be my girlfriend) I hate our friendship...wow...talking in my back about truly personnals things to another friend is just cheap and gross...some people need a brain.....I was so angry,humiliated and pissed...never I will put trust in friend...never.... but this friend is nice and he dont talking to her anymore...but that just ............what the goal to said things who are blessed.....and personnal...grrrr


If I want to say to this person I will said...it's my life not yours...the poor guy was debalanced to said that to me...yes when you start a conversation you can be surprise what we will learn...

[cath007]

But I dont know....I think this guy is nice and she is just plain jealous is not interressed to her...I am not interressed to him...but I dont know learning is humility and his history of life...having all he want and now be at the lower level...and still have determination to go trough and continue this studies after that,,,inspire me...we maybe have more conversation or eat togheter why not...

[cath007]

I dont judge and I think this is my best quality...no I dont smoke,take drugs,or drink...but hearing all kind of stories and what is bad and life and affect you and theirs capacities to change their life after realise it always amazed me

[cashcounter]

when you see someone riding his/her bicycle and are smoking and just puffing on the cigarette using no hands. That is sooooo gross!!!!!

[cath007]

When your friend( and you are not with him) start a conversation in the morning with ''sweetheart'' and asking who a million question about anything....jealous ...yes...can I accept this no......ewwwwwwww

And you was just there to make something clear...

[Koolaid]

...when you get a new paper boy who doesn't deliver the paper early....sigh

[Koolaid]

...oh also when you traded away almost all of your nestea coupons and now it goes on with bonus airmiles at Metro! Ok yes I hate the stuff but my Mom loves it...and it sucks when the last time you were at Metro they only had skids of the old boxes with the BOGO movie passes. I will be saying good-bye to my last two......

That's what the middle finger is for!! I actually got a very large bump on mine that needs to be lanced everyday. Doc said it was from overworking it.
