I am insane. I am insane because the definition of insanity is doing the same action over and over again expecting a different result. Now, here is where I vent. I love Craig. However, he can piss me off like you would not believe. And it is usually the same song and dance over and over again. Case in point, today he emails me at work this simple sentence:
“By the way my car window broke so I need to park in the garage until I get it fixed ok? Love, Craig”
No explanation, no interesting story to preclude the sentence. Now, maybe this type of communication makes sense to men. But to women, not so much.
So, I call him to find out what happened. Was he in an accident? Did a tree fall on the car? Did someone break the window to steal the car or its contents?
He picks up and I say, “Hey Sweetie, so what happened?”
Impatient and grouchy he answers, “I don’t know” (AGAIN, NO INFORMATION)
“Are you okay?”
“No, my window is broken, it’s pushed through” (I swear, I felt like Viet Cong trying to interrogate a POW)
“Glad you’re okay…so what happened; it’s not broken?”
“FUCK, how the hell am I supposed to know?” (Just for the ignorant or the deaf dumb and blind, this is where he blew it…)
“You know what? I called to see if you are okay and what happened and none of that excuses your response. It’s just not acceptable and I won’t allow it. It's fucked up”
“Well dammit, I told you I didn’t know and then you hound me about what happened” (Please dear god, just tell me he took a VERY LARGE handful of Idiot Pills before this call)
“Oh yes now I remember…how silly of me to have forgotten... I had passed my minimum of one question concerning your well-being… You have yourself a great little day and I’ll see you at home. Bye."
So, this isn’t the first time I have had a "conversation" like this, it probably won’t be the last one and I will forge ahead expecting a different outcome on the next one…insane.

omg! give that man a xanax. you were not out of line...those were totally reasonable questions and requests.
That was just a guy communicating like a guy, and you communicating like a girl... That Venus/Mars thing, you know?
TK-well I really wish Craig would show a little less "love"...
Marc-Xanax? I am thinking Thorazine.
Buff-Yes, verbal abuse is a way of communciation, but not the right one if he wants to see the inside of the house again. :)

here is how you do it next time you say 'did you see the dumbfuck who broke it' and then he might just might divulge more details....rechannel the blame just in case it was mister craig who broke the window....
