I'm throwing a temper tantrum
From my AIM with my mother, regarding my repeated requests that she RSVP to my wedding, because I like getting them and none of my family has RSVPed yet:
her: So I was home Mon Thurs and today for the cmputer.
her: And somebody came by Wed afternoon w only david home and then I had no service for a while
her: And yesterday I was talking to all kind of engineers and billing clerks and I don't know what all
me: Whatever. I'm not talking to you until you fill out the RSVP. It's easy and it upsets me that you won't do it even though I asked you to.
I think this is the grown-up, internet version of holding my breath and stomping my feet. I don't care though. And really, what's the downside? I don't hear the details of her Verizon service call for her DSL? Not really a loss in my book...
UPDATE: After that, it only took her 5 minutes to fill out the form. No wonder toddlers throw tantrums - they work!
