My mother pissed me off this morning, in a huge way. I've been in an awful mood the whole day because of it.
She called me (okay, it was 9:45am, but it's the weekend so we're allowed to sleep in) and yelled at me to bring the digital camera (which belongs to Dad) over right away because she needed it to take with her to the races. She lives approximately 4 minutes drive from my house. I asked her if she could please pick it up on her WAY to the races because I was still in bed and Michael was asleep (I don't drive, he does). She said that absolutely no way, not a chance, she could NOT pick it up on her way to the races. So I sighed and hung up on her and woke Michael up. We sleepily got dressed.
Two minutes after the first phone call, she rings again - "Are you coming?!" I tell her we're getting dressed and we'll be leaving in a second. Then I tell her that I don't know how charged the battery in the camera is, and she cracks the shits. I tell her that if she'd told me last night that she needed it, I could have charged the battery for her. She tells me she didn't know I had it. I tell her Dad knew I had it. She kicks and screams and cries like a 12 year old. I hang up.
We get in the car. She rings AGAIN. "Are you HERE YET?!" I tell her I'm sorry the process of driving to her house isn't instantaneous. She whinges. I hang up.
We get to her house. I give her the camera, the battery and the battery charger and she storms around like I've just told her I'm becoming a lesbian pagan and amputating my face and then leaves, whilst yelling at me. I go and sit in the car so I don't say anything she'll hate me for, because it's my birthday tomorrow and she always manages to make my birthdays shitty.
It was GREAT! YAY MUM!
She doesn't even know how to USE the digital camera. oooh. My blood boiled.
