Don't you wish you could get credit for all the things you DON'T do?

[Fran Kubelik]

I just stopped myself from posting something snarky to someone (who totally deserved it, by the way). But no one will ever know that and think I'm awesome.
I didn't buy a pot at Ikea the other day. Did I get credit for it when I got home? NOOoooo. Instead I was questioned about the $120 I did spend on...uh...random shit.
Someone cut me off in traffic and I didn't flip him off. Shit. He didn't even acknowledge my lack of visible aggression.

I tell you, it's tough. I'm always not doing all this horrible shit and not getting credit for not doing it. Where's my positive reinforcement?

[PeaceNikki]

1. I got your positive reinforcement right here, baby!

:hug:

You have a great point. :thumbsup:

[Fran Kubelik]

2. Oh great, it's you.

Now a whole portion of the lounge is going to shun me - even some of the ones who weren't already shunning me - if such people exist - wait - I hit the dash so many times I forgot my point.

[PeaceNikki]

6. Meh.

I've been shunned worse by better.

[KitchenWitch]

3. Yeah, why is that?

I am not ALWAYS behaving badly.

[Dr. Strange]

7. Unless you have some sort of documentation for that...

I'm just going to have to laugh.

[Zuni]

4. I got a big wad of credit right here

:thumbsup:

you have done well. Be charitable and merciful in all of your dealings.

[LaraMN]

5. I would if I had more restraint.

:P

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Y'gotta give your*self* credit for stuff like that

I just flashed on Margaret Houlihan raising a glass and saying, "Here's to me."



:thumbsup:

9. I haven't had a drink since Jan. 1.

And Mrs. B gives me a lot of credit for that.

:hi:

[Bake]

19. You know, I try not to think of it as being any "big deal"

Because of course that would freak me out!

But thanks for the encouragement!

I use this logical tack with Mrs. R all the time, to no avail I might add. :-|

[Fran Kubelik]

11. Milhouse gets it.

:thumbsup:

13. The world is filled with kids that Gary Glitter didn't molest.

[Heidi]

14. I will be your positive reinforcement.

:hug:

[Gormy Cuss]

15. So, are you going back to IKEA to buy that pot?

What the heck.
:P

16. This reminds me of a Chris Rock bit.

"You know the worst thing about $&#*@%? $&#*@% always want credit for some shit they supposed to do. A $&#*@%'ll brag about some shit a normal man just does. A $&#*@%'ll say some shit like 'I take care of my kids.' You supposed to you dumb mutha fucker! What kind of ignorant shit is that! 'I ain't never been to jail!' What do you want, a cookie?! You're not supposed to go to jail you low expectation-having motherfucker!"

Not doing things you're not supposed to do... doing things you're supposed to do... two sides of the same coin?

[1gobluedem]

17. Yes

I wish I could get credit for not throttling my co-workers daily when I so long to do it.

[Ladyhawk]

18. What about all the threads I DIDN'T kill? :) ...nt

[meow2u3]

20. Get outta here!

I wish I could get credit for the things I DO do!
