One of, No. Not one of, My BIGGEST pet peeve is lying. Lying just really irritates the heck out of me. I have been given so many lies lately it seems like no one is trustworthy….

Friend I was supposed to meet at the mall for my once in a decade I-get-to-shop-without-the children excursion…

“I couldn’t call you to tell you I wasn’t going to meet you because I slept over la-la’s and didn’t bring my charger & don’t have a car charger and am just leaving now and my phone was dead.”

“oh, it was?”

“Yes”

“So how are you calling me now?”

“Uhm… well, oh I gotta go lots of traffic”

Brother on the weed bud he left on my table by my front door…

“Thats not my weed you found.”

“K- you do smoke and I did catch you smoking there the other day”

“It wasn’t me.”

“Ok, it must of been one of the neighbors coming over to leave it by my door, or maybe it was one of the boys who left it there. you know my 2 and 3 year old are big pot heads”

Lawn guy…

“I will be over tomorrow to cut your lawn. I will clean that huge snake pile I let build up in the back and haul it to the dump.”

“Ok, well I won’t be around so let me pay you now….”

Three months later and after 2 years of service no call no service.

Lawn guy #2….

“Oh I will be over tomorrow to give you an estimate.”

“Oh my gosh! Did we forget to call you and come by? Oh well I was in an accident and yes, uhm, my truck was totaled and I had to go get checked out at the hospital. I will come Thursday.”

“Ok well I will charge you a measly $90 a month to turn your house into the picture on Lawn and Garden. It is quite a mess so I will be out tomorrow or Saturday to clean this up”

“Wow, how you feeling and is this your truck?”

“huh?”

“You know the accident?”

“What acciden- OHHH yeah, I’m fine and they fixed her up nice.

Friday….

Saturday…

Monday…”I’m sorry the Sprint PCS number you are trying to call is temporarily not in service.”

Meanwhile the association is over here snapping shots to future us not in Lawn and Garden but in their issue of the association newsletter on Why are Property Values are Decreasing.

“Mummy, Why can’t we go out to play?”

“Sweetie, Mummy has yet to purchase us the proper safari attire which would be appropriate for fighting off ticks and tigers.”
