Anyone noticed family/friends more demanding this Easter?

I've been inundated with hints or requests for Easter.
I always do the children. And certain adults.

But it's all adults putting in requests now, too.

Lockdown Easter fever?

Normally, I'd not think too much about it. But we've been affected income wise and I get impression no one thinks about that, because I've never discussed it.

Our business, we will deal with it, is my approach.

But , suddenly, influx of hints, requests or just downright orders! Confused

I think you need to tell them how much you’d love a flying rainbow unicorn, but you have realistic expectations based on past experiences - and they should adjust theirs to the same channel.

@Pissedoffcat

Maybe I should change name to total wet fart cat? 🤔😂
Ha ha! Now there’s an image! 😂🤣

The whole thing about others demanding you to cheer them up is so shit tho!

I’m so fucking fed up of having been so proactive about asking people how they are etc, not one fucker of my so called local friends ever asks ME how I am.

I’m done with quite a few of them tbh.

Interested in this thread?

I think if people are sending entitled links to things with a guilt trip based on needing to be “cheered up” you should send them a text message with a GIF with cheer leaders saying “DonI look like this? get over yourself!”

justilou1 · 23/03/2021 05:37

“Do I look like this?” Obvs...

😂😂😂
I wish I'd been quicker on ball, and not just sat there thinking 'eh? '.... 🤦

But, it's ordered. Pared down but I ve still been a cat's wet fart. Grin

Pissedoffcat · 23/03/2021 22:29

But I'm getting over it.
I've had a laugh with your replies, so I can give over with good grace and no animosity attached.

Nearly. My teeth still clenched .... Blush

Oh well... there’s still Christmas 😉

8dpwoah · 23/03/2021 22:48

I thought you meant social life requests (yes, these are ramping up, luckily so far mostly people I actually want to see...mostly). Chocolate requests from adults is absolutely ridiculous. I'd post them a carrot for the Easter bunny and be done with it.

Pissedoffcat · 24/03/2021 00:16

And with a suitably apt suggestion as to use for carrot 🥕!!

@farnworth

Or Send them links to this and say you would have got them this but now sadly unavailable, so maybe better luck next year....

@farnworth do you actually live in Farnworth? ( sorry to hijack OP!)
Pissedoffcat · 24/03/2021 14:29

Don't you hate when this happens?
You put in and pay for your order and 2 days later get an email with a 15% discount code. Angry

MzHz · 24/03/2021 14:31

Think that’s for Wet Cat Fart Day... celebrate!

You earned it! Buy your own treats, cos let’s face it the grabby fuckers you’re saddled with won’t buy a sodding thing for you, will they?

Pissedoffcat · 24/03/2021 14:32

So, not only have I bought stuff I hadn't intended to, but if I'd waited, I'd have at least saved some money.
I'm not happy!

OP posts:
Pissedoffcat · 24/03/2021 14:34

No, MzHz, they won't,you are correct on that score.

OP posts:
Pissedoffcat · 24/03/2021 14:35

I'm now angry wet fart cat!

OP posts:
CoffeeBeansGalore · 24/03/2021 20:38

Can you not put in your order with them? . . . As we are now doing Easter for this year only, please find attached my wish list 😁

justilou1 · 25/03/2021 11:23

Wonder what you’ll get @Pissedoffcat? Have you been sad? Lonely? Depressed? A good little girl?

farnworth · 28/03/2021 21:59

@QueenArseClangers
Responding to hijack...... Didn’t even know a place called Farnworth existed... just googled it! User name based on someone I knew.

Midlifelady · 28/03/2021 22:02

What? Never heard of such a thing. Though it does remind me I better get a few eggs in for my kids...
