My brother never remember my birthday. I usually get a text message the day after.
There is also a back story about him buying me unsuitable gifts, I used to do a lot of arts and crafts but arthritis has slowed me down so I can't do things anymore. It's not just a 'touch' I cannot work, walk with a stick or use a wheelchair. So presents from him have included a colouring book one year and fimo another.
My brother's birthday is at the end of November so for the last few years I have sent him a passive aggressive advent calendar.
He was in the police, so I sent a pork scratching calendar.
He drinks coffee but his wife loves tea, so another year he got a tea calender.
I don't know if he has realised I am trolling him.
I went to the cinema one Saturday, there are a lot of disabled places but these is also a huge amount of ordinary spaces. Cinema opens at 11am so loads of space.
Well I went to park and there was a work van in the disabled space closest to the cinema. It had a phone number on it.
So I phoned the number and it was answered by a very sleepy and apologetic business owner. I went with my friend to sit on a bench and see what happened.
A couple of young men came out a couple of mins later, looked around and went back into the cinema.
So I called again, the business owner told me he'd told his employees to move and he would cal them back.
I then watched the two guys come out, one on the phones saying, "but there's loads of space" and was obviously being told to move it anyway.
