**This is my sticky post for Monday, May 12th. Newer entries may be posted below this one.**
Sauntering Soul is our host this week for Fun Monday. Here is what she had to say:
“I know we all try to be sweet and kind to people the majority of the time. But let’s face it….we also know that sometimes we can be a big jerk. It could be that you experience road rage from time to time. Perhaps you empty the coffee pot at work some mornings and don’t feel like taking the time to start a new pot for the next person. Or maybe you don’t return phone calls on a timely basis when you know someone needs a response from you. Have you ever “accidentally” ruined a favorite shirt of your spouse just because you didn’t care for it? Come on – it’s confession time! List the small things you do that make you a jerk and elaborate just a bit on each one. Please tell me I’m not the only jerk around here!”
I am having a really hard time writing this post. Why am I having such a hard time with this post? I think it’s because I think sometimes I need to be more of a jerk. I tend to let people walk all over me. I am usually one of those very nice people who ends up getting pushed around.
Don’t get me wrong though, I can certainly be a jerk- but I’m pretty sure that the person who gets to see that the most is Rich. And Rich is more than willing to help me write this post. He tells me that when he tells me something I don’t want to hear that I sigh at him. Well, excuse me- but if that’s the best he can come up with he should be counting his blessings.
Really though when Rich is annoying me, here are some of things I do on purpose to annoy him back.
- Continue piling the garbage up in the kitchen until it is spilling out all over the cupboard it is in.
- Hide the remote for the TV. Or unplug the TV.
- Perhaps Rich is trying to take a nap on the couch. I will wait for him to get all settled on the couch, nice and comfy. Then I go to the living room and turn all of the lights on and leave the room. (This doesn’t work too well in the summer when it’s light out, but in the winter it can really irritate him.
I’m sure that’s lots more, but for now that is all I can think of. Anyone who knows me can feel free to leave a comment and tell me some of the things I do to be a jerk. You can leave your comment anonymously

We don’t have to hide the remote – we lose it all the time anyway. Yesterday, I found it on the back porch. Thank goodness I found it before the dog ate it…
You don’t sound like too much of a jerk. The light thing would drive me crazy though.

we also lose the remote at a moment’s notice. and my husband is always the one who finds it, so hiding it? although tempting? wouldn’t work so well.
(but i DO love the jerky light thing! that’s brilliant!)

I’m the same with the rubbish. I mean to empty it, but just, you know, when I can’t add another thing to it. Hee hee.

I like the garbage one too, and at times I want to do that too, just let it overflow

Okay – you are going to make me admit that when my husband tries to take a nap on the couch – that is the time when I decide the kitchen needs to be cleaned (REALLY LOUD).

Funny, but I had a very similar initial response. But I managed to find that inner Jerk!
Hide the remote? For shame!!

This one was really hard for me too as I let people walk on me. I’m a chicken and easy going and just don’t get my feathers ruffled so I had to stretch to find things too.
You can be a little ornery!

Wow, if we are housemates, unplugging the TV would certainly do it for me…I’m too scared to plug any appliance! LOL
Happy Fun Monday!

I love it! That jerky light move you have is hysterical. But you don’t sound like too big of a jerk. Tell your hubby I sigh at people constantly.
