duck bastard
so I started cleaning the cupboards mostly as a thing I wanted to do
duck bastard
partially because they're a shitshow that has been bugging me for years now, and partially because I wanted to make a list of food so that i could figure out what we have, start cooking and the like
duck bastard
Today I decided I would take a break, and make some cookies after lunch today
ArtIsArt
Uh oh. That tag and emote is never a good start.
duck bastard
i mean, it's mostly just me being petty and annoyed
duck bastard
because my grandmother suddenly came in here like "Are you going to keep cleaning?"
duck bastard
James: I was going to take a break, and make cookies after lunch today.
duck bastard
Her: Well, you could do both...
duck bastard
and then copper interrupted us and she left it alone
duck bastard
but there was just, like.... something about her tone that grinded on me?
duck bastard
like this was just expected now
duck bastard
but this isn't, like, a task she gave me. this was something i decided to do on my own.
duck bastard
there are four garbage bags full of bullshit stretching back to 2012
duck bastard
i don't know, it's hard to explain, ugh!
duck bastard
Maidstrong
nah I get it
Maidstrong
it's like you do a thing or start a thing and then the people around you expect further the thing
papermint tiger
...no this is bullshit
papermint tiger
you do a thing out of the goodness and annoyance of your soul and instead of thanks and praise you get 'why aren't you doing this faster'
papermint tiger
bullshit
duck bastard
yeh!!!! that's it exactly
AllTheseSquares
^^^^^^
duck bastard
like i do plan on cleaning on the freezers and whatnot, but, again, same reasoning
AllTheseSquares
you were doing a good thing for you and she got her attitude all over it and Ruined It
AllTheseSquares
and it sucks when that happens
duck bastard
but she's been trying to mention me cleaning up her disastrous tupperware situation and such, and i'm like..... maybe you can deal with that
duck bastard
i'm just here for the food
duck bastard
because the food is the important thing
papermint tiger
yeah now she's just taking advantage of your kindness
ArtIsArt
Your annoyance is valid.
sentient gate
yeah if she wants to be a hoarder she can clean up her own shit
sentient gate
you, however, use the food so it makes sense that youd want to clean it
sentient gate
and it's shitty of her to be all her about it
duck bastard
i don't know if that's what she intended for it to be, but she did come up to me while i was making lunch to offer to clean the secondary cupboard space (where the dog treats and cookies are) while i did tupperware and, like..... i'll accept that
duck bastard
it makes it less annoying
duck bastard
although i will say, yeah, there is a lot of hoarding happening on these grounds. two whole ass buildings besides this one full of it
duck bastard
nevermind, scraps of good will gone
duck bastard
she went to go pay the water bill or something, and then came back to immediately start yelling at me
duck bastard
first because apparently maisy peed somewhere not easily visible from where i was baking
duck bastard
you know, the dog that even my grandmother admitted will sometimes just immediately squat and go no matter where or what nowadays
duck bastard
and then to yell at me because how dare i..... tell one of my ex-coworkers who i was on friendly terms with that i was cleaning out cupboards??
duck bastard
my grandmother literally told the conversation as:
Ex-Coworker: So what's James up to?
Her: Who knows!
duck bastard
it apparently enraged my grandmother a lot that people, like..... check in on how i'm doing???
duck bastard
w i l d
duck bastard
anyway she did an immediate 180 to use me as a venting board on how she was screwed over by the bank, and checked in on my baking, etc
duck bastard
like she hadn't started immediately yelling at me for dumb bullshit
papermint tiger
If they're checking in on you they're not paying enough attention to her i guess
duck bastard
I suspect it's more like some sort of embarrassment
duck bastard
because gasp! what if the talk about town becomes that i'm some jobless layabout scoundrel!
duck bastard
when it could be really easy for her to just go, i don't know
duck bastard
/looks at writing on hand
duck bastard
"James just finished a job, so zie's helping around the house while this actual pandemic goes on"
duck bastard
man. i gotta say. her sticking her nose into this has now made the positive relaxed feelings i had to cleaning go sour.
