Sunday Flamefuls

[underwaterrhymes]

I think KA and pantsparty need to give lessons on creating and using the humorous AE.

Haitis had so much potential, but instead? Nope.

i'm putting in this in the flamefuls because, obviously, mental illness is never funny, but i kinda love this.

we have a church member here who has a sister who was raised here but has moved to our new town in MD. she has a persecution complex/paranoia issues and believes that people from her hometown (here) are stalking her. so, it will be interesting to see how it goes when she finds out that the new pastor is from here.

Oh, jeez. That's...fascinating.

I am skipping the Pride Parade today because I'm just too exhausted. I took 12 kids on a 12-hour field trip yesterday and am moving the big stuff next weekend, so I just need a day to myself. BFF is probably mad, but she skips a lot of stuff, so I can't care.

[cuddlyevil]

I cheered for the Rangers last night even though I am not a fan.

It's the best I got so far.

I was 15 minutes late for work this morning due to really hot sex knowing I had a shit ton of work to do. I think is how the no regrets chicken must feel always.

[nadasteph]

I went to a stagette last night, the first party of it at someone's house. They got a naked guy to make and serve us drinks. I was a little uncomfortable with it but even more so with a few girls that were crazy over the top into the whole thing. I was the only one not posing for pictures with him.

[notpantsparty]

I would love some tips from pantsparty on creating a funny AE! Pencil ready!

Like, naked naked? All the way? Aside from the extreme awkwardness, I would not want some stranger's dingaling brushing up against my counters and cabinets while he's making drinks.

This is strange. I'm glad my friends don't throw parties like this.

[CajunShrimp]

I definitely don't want some rando guy's dong near my drinks. The last thing I want is a pube floater in my rum & coke.

My flameful is that I snapped at my friend's son yesterday. He is just a little shit (well, not so little, he is almost 12). We had a cookout yesterday with some friends. My friend A's son is just a glutton. He just shoves junk down his throat and mom says nothing. Yesterday he sat down and ate an entire chip and dip tray (an entire bag of chips) then moved on to the next tray. A says nothing. He had a Coke to drink and asked for another. A said no that he had to have a water first (like that makes the whole bag of chips he ate in 15b minutes better). I give him a water, and he disappears. A few minutes later he comes back and shoves the empty water bottle in his mom's face and demands a soda. So I said "So where did you pour the water out?" He denies it. BFF comments "That's funny. I saw you spitting it out and watering the plants". A still lets him have another soda.

I have more chips to put out, but I put a veggie tray out instead so the other guests can actually eat something. He is obviously pissed and leaves the porch. Later, I start putting out more chips, and like a moth to a light, he comes back and eats probably another half bag of chips. A still says nothing. I run into him in the house and he points to a think of brownies I had bought for dessert and says "What's that?". They are effing brownies, kid. I know you know what they are. I replied "Brownies." He says "Can I have some?". I snapped "Absolutely not." and walked away.

Later, he and his mom were leaving (they were not having dinner with us). Mom goes out the front door to the car. The kid goes out the back way to the porch and we watch him as he shoved the rest of the chips down his throat (probably another 1/4 of a bag). He only stops because his mom comes to find out why he isn't in the car. Of course he never said thank you or goodbye.

He was wearing a bow tie, shirt cuffs and a teeny tiny little apron thing.

I would flip my shit. 12 is old enough to know:

A) How to share
B) Not to demand things of others


Try not to invite them back, if you can.

My BFF L made a passive aggressive comment while they were there. My son (who is almost 3) would come up from time to time and say "May I have a chip please" and we would give him 1 and he would say thank you. BFF said "Oh K, you have such nice manners! Saying please, and not eating too much! What a good boy you are!". I almost choked from holding back my laugh,

Oh, and I forgot the best part - BFF's boyfriend spotting him digging for gold in his nose and then digging into the chips.

I really do like his mom - she is very good friends with BFF and I. But holy shit, I hate this kid. He does this all the time, and if you say anything, A gets mad. Once at another cookout (he was probably 8) he kept turning the hose on. I kept saying "B, please stop turning the water on" and turned the water off. He kept doing it. Finally I yelled "Ben stop turning the water on!". A was pissed, so I snapped that he could play with the hose when he started paying for the water. This was the same party where he shoved his finger into a pricey hot dip I had just put out, and then licked his finger.

[venice2007]

I need new powder and bronzer and a new brush but I'm soooooo bad with make up and can't spend a lot, so I have no idea what to get. I'm 37 I should know how to buy make up lol

This is weird. Why couldn't you be direct with mom? "Jimmy just ate an entire bag of chips. I'd like to put some out for my other guests. Tell him he's had enough."

This doesn't really seem unusual for a 12 year old at a picnic.

[CajunShrimp]

If it was just this one time, I wouldn't care. He does this every time, and anywhere, and has for years. BFF had us over to there house one night for dinner last year. She had a triangle of brie out with crackers. He took 1/3 of the brie, put in between two crackers, and shoved it in his mouth somehow. He then started saying "yuck", crackers flying out of his mouth everywhere, and spit it into the trash. Then he comes back and start eating the rest of the crackers. A says nothing. Same party he took off his sandals, put his filthy feet on the coffee table and sofa. Later he sits on the coffee table and starts play tug of war with BFF's puppy, and keeps doing it after he is told to stop.

BFF and I have tried saying something. A gets defensive and denies that he ate that much (ignoring the empty tray of food in front of him). She just has no control over him.

Yep, tried that in the past. She tells him to stop and he just ignores her.

[kaybee85]

I don't know. I teach 12 year-olds, and it is kind of normal, but honestly, even without actual parents around, most of the kids I'm with are able to be more polite than this kid is, and know how to take 'no' for an answer.

ETA: I'm referring to field trips or other special occasions, not normal classroom behavior, which obviously isn't comparable to a picnic.

Really? I mean I get that 12 yr olds eat a lot, but I just can't imagine allowing that type of rudeness to go unchecked. 

[CajunShrimp]

I think the manners thing is what pisses me off the most. If she is fine with him eating crap, sitting on the couch and playing video games all day at home, that is their business. But I can't comprehend how she thinks that putting his filthy feet on the coffee table at someone else's house and eating all their food is acceptable. And when the host says that his behaviour is unacceptable, being pissed at the host.

Lol. I was trying so hard to not see his junk that I honestly have no idea about shoes.  

[wannabe]

What is unusual is this kid's mom's unwillingness to teach her son basic manners. Why would you want to raise an asshole?

I probably wouldn't invite either of them over for gatherings anymore.

Next time buy more chips? Why wasn't he allowed a brownie?
He sounds like kind of an ahole but I'm not sure he's the only one at this party.

Dude, I like you, but no.

[CajunShrimp]

Haha, BFF and her boyfriend said putting the veggie tray out was the best thing I did because it stopped him from eating all the chips. FWIW, A & son were supposed to leave by 6 (before we started grilling) so I was going to put the chips back out when they left. They stayed until 7, so I did put more chips out, all of which which HE ATE. No one could get near them.

Lololol he ate two fucking bags of chips. How many more chips should she have given him?!?!

Go sat down.

Weeeeellll, I like chips. So a lot? ; )
I thought he ate most of 1 bag and had a few of the second. I am suddenly having reading fails. I'm either overtired or my brain is shutting down.

Your opinion is incorrect. OP is not the asshole. She was more patient than I would have been.
