In my personal best moment of pettiness, I was a caregiver for people who had both a developmental disability (like down’s syndrome) and dementia. This man thought night shift didn’t do anything because he thought dementia patients slept through the night (lol), and thought it was okay to leave the chores from the day to the woman coming on shift. He’d already been a pest flirting with all of us, so my trap card was activated.
He was sitting on the couch watching tv alone, pile of dishes in the sink waiting to be loaded into the dishwasher, and a pile of laundry for me to fold. I wasn’t going to let the dirty dishes sit around, because health and safety, but because of behavioral problems regarding toileting, it was normal for us to do quite a bit of laundry overnight.
When he came back for his shift 12hrs later, I was sitting there watching tv with the patients, and there was an even bigger pile of unfolded laundry for him to take care of.
I’m not blaming you for other people’s actions.
Whatever you say, pumpkin
Get over yourself, sugar.

It was glorious.

Don’t feel bad, illiteracy is such a common problem these days.
To be fair, I actually was going to read it later, and also I often say I’m illiterate because I just skim too often.
