On Fundamental Attribution Error

Sure, it’s a biatch. And it’s never more obvious than when one deals with parents. I can stand there to yawn and stretch, and suddenly I’m conveying that I am too free. I obviously am slacking, have nothing better to do and certainly don’t intend to do anything worthwhile. Interesting how one can be doing stuff, tell someone to wait when there’s a request to do something inconvenient, then be perceived as being selfish or lazy. Oh come on, I am *not* going to cross a room to make a phone call for someone else when I’m snacking. I mean, you’re the one next to the phone and it’s not in my job description to make that call. Maybe it’d be bad if I’m a phone operator, which I’m not. Anyhoo, this is in the context of moms, dads and hotel rooms.

Gripe time about dad: He wants everything done 5 minutes ago, and with curt and unintelligible instructions. Guess what? Not happening. Besides, parents never seem to see when kids do things right. Slip up once and oops…someone’s being lazy and all again.

Anyway, ‘nuff of the bitchin’. I’m back and all that.
