Fail - food delivery

[franklin]

So I really wanted a BLT, because they're good, duh! Problem - bubble butt was just about to go to bed. Solution - order and have it delivered. Way to problem solve, right? I order the BLT with crispy bacon and extra tomatoes. 45 minutes later it finally shows up and I'm starving and I practically take the drivers hand with me while I go in for the kill. Sit down, open it up - extra bacon NO TOMATOES!!

I called and they said they could either send out a gift card or bring tomatoes over but it would be like another 30 minutes. I opted for the gift card (I did ask if the driver could still keep his tip, ya know since he had to deal with a wild animal, they said he will). Now I'm eating beans. Boring.

A cute to offset the fail - during bath tonight BB (I'm just going to use that for bubble butt now, lol) was playing with a matchbox boat and he was telling me how the motor worked and that the rotors turn the propeller to make it go but it ran out of petrol again. Petrol? He's so strange! 

Anyone else have a fail today?

[vicky]

Bubble butt?

[lilac05]

I thought your fail would be on the "crispy" part of the bacon (or toast) with a BLT delivery. I can't imagine BLTs being any good delivered...they need to be eaten immediately. I don't live in a place where anything other than pizza is delivered, though.

Today was a complete fail for me. Stress got the best of me & I yelled at DS1 (4.5). I never yell & it scared him. I don't think I'll ever forget the look in his eyes. I apologized later and made sure to give him extra snuggles, but I still feel like total crap.

what, isn't it obvious lol? sorry, we call DS bubble butt. I have no idea where it came from, I think H started it and DS thought it was hilarious so we just go with it!

ds seems to work fine on the way of shorthand around here. No need to invent your own.

[dexteroni]

I have actually wondered about bubble butt too. Which I guess I'll continue to do since I still don't get it, lol. Sorry your sandwich didn't work out! That would be very disappointing.

^o)

true, but inventing can be fun and you'll never have anything thing new without new ideas and inventions! I always default to bubble butt, it's a habit; plus aren't there a fair amount of posters who refer to their kids by things other than DS and DD? Or is that reserved for posters who reach a certain post count? I'm almost to 1000, lol!

no rhyme or reason to it, just like kids.

[SKP82]

You can just call him DS here. The BB is ... weird. Like me calling my kid bunny boo instead of DD. I totally call her bunny boo IRL, but not here.

ETA: use BB if you want, just lay off the bubble butt.

Not really. People mostly call their kids by their initials, their nick name initials, or DD or DS.

That was TIC if it didn't come off that way. I must be going crazy then because I thought I read a couple that were "different". I can try and reign in my bubble butt (lol) if necessary.

it's actually not bad delivered. the tator tots or fries are mediocre.

I'm sorry, I'm sure that's happened to everyone, I know I've done it. it's no fun.

Well, there was a poster way back when who called her DH "noodle." Not exactly a stellar category to be in. lol.

There may very well be posters who use non-standard names to refer to their family members, but I don't think most of them refer to their butts. Or their, well, noodles.

Your nickname has zero connection to your own screenname and is thus nonsensical and difficult to remember.

[birdistheword]

Why does anyone give a shit what she calls her kid? Lol.

I'm sorry your sandwich sucked.

BUT THIS MAKES SENSE.

Nobody is gonna be like, "Who or what is tater tot?"

Nobody knows this!

And, even so, how does "bubble butt" relate to "franklin"?

It doesn't.

Notwithstanding all of these posts, I guess I don't really care what you call your child online or otherwise.

I care only about general clarity.

lol, to be fair, the bubble butt doesn't refer to his butt. which you would have no way of knowing because the nickname we use for him is strange, I get it. and no, I don't go out in public yelling "stop bubble butt" or "bubble butt, you have five minutes left", he likes it and we laugh and tease about it.

right. Privately at home. Keep it there.

[birdistheword]

I mean, I felt it was pretty clear she was talking about her kid. Unless she watches her H play with motorboats in the bathtub, in which case, this post just got more interesting.

Better?! lol

I'm pretty sure I told her to knock off the noodle reference, too. It made no sense! Lol.

I don't think I've touted myself as such. I call my kid bubble butt, who cares? I'm mostly just upset about my sandwich and wondering why my kid is now calling gas petrol.

So my sandwich was a fail. My kid's nickname is a fail. Care to share a fail of your own?

ETA: again, TIC
