#262: Like a Stench Fist to the Face

So, apparently some of the Starbucks in New York City are covering their electrical sockets so people can’t use the place as office space all day for the price of a Caramel Macchiato.  Good idea.  I was always afraid that’s what drove Borders out of business.  That and the Kindle…

Guess what?  We don’t want to hear the clicking sound your iPad makes when you type, especially when we’re trying to listen to a attractive young teacher talk about teaching my daughter cursive.  Yes, they still teach cursive.  Next year, as an elective, they’ll learn how to program a VCR.

In an effort to make sure my kids didn’t get too hungry before getting their flu shots, I brought them a snack of milk and cookies to enjoy in the car.  That might be the last time anyone enjoys anything in that car…

  1. Dan,

    Please explain to your wife that guys could give a poop about a box, wrapping paper, and all that assorted crap, fold it and give it to the guy. He’ll love it just the way it is!

    And why is your time so invaluable that YOU can make several trips to buy and return stuff. Drag Hudson along make it a guy thing and if you know who complains, then maybe she should have made several trips to buy and return the items!!!

  2. First of all some perspective on your shopping experience. I think that perhaps the young boys dept is in the building where womens things are instead of mens is because, as you are well aware, typically it is the mom at the store getting kids clothing. It is probably an outdated store module but how typically it is.

    Dan, make H go with you next time and try it on. Your show is something I look forward to and I think of you as friend. Saying that, your wife DOES treat you like her assistant (which is nothing you have not acknowledged before so don’t be mad). When things like this goes on the kids are learning to treat you like their assistant too. Stop the cycle. You are a father – not a resource person.

    As for the gift bag, box, tissue paper, lalalalala Next time you are a Target’ buy a thing of tissue paper, a couple plain gift bags and a few shirt boxes and put them somewhere only you can find them. Done. By the way tell your wife John above is right – GUYS DON’T CARE. Woman to woman she needs to chilax.

  3. You know Dan I gave one of the above statements above a thought and you know what – forget what I said about taking Hudson. No matter what size you picked, even if it looked terrific, she would argue that you picked the wrong size. (Even though you are a man and know how things should fit – and we are girls and really, I argue, we don’t.By the way, yes, I have a son.)

  4. Couldn’t agree more with John and RZ, you HAVE to sort out this micro-management crap for your own sanity. As I have said before, I think it stems from the fact your wife feels she has to be in control and is just taking out her frustration for not being there for the kids on you.

    On the teachers, we need photographic proof, like you took before at that audition!
