My parents can be so infuriating at times.
My mom wanted to go the hospital to pay a bill. My dad put the address in his phone, but didn't listen/follow the directions when it told him to stay on a certain street. He was also complaining that "the phone's not talking to me" but it was because he had his phone's volume all the way down.
We get to the hospital and of course, we're not at the right part. I went in with my mom while she asked where to go and the lady working at the desk said she'd show us how to get there. The part we needed to be at was down a long hallway and down to elevator to the basement. After my mom took care of everything, I said we should probably go back to where we started so my dad could find us. Instead, she followed a bunch of people outside and called my dad trying to tell him where we were. He passed us in the car and then my mom decided to try to chase down the car, not paying attention in the parking lot for cars or really looking where she was going. We stayed outside for a few minutes waiting for my dad (he'd driven to the wrong side of the building based on my mom's directions and where he thought we were.
We got back in the car and my dad's frustrated. Then his phone rings and he jumps. He can't have it both ways; be annoyed that his phone isn't "talking" and then be annoyed because it's ringing.
Also, I almost had a panic/anxiety attack in the elevator because I'm always afraid of getting stuck in one between floors.
I found out yesterday that a friend's puppy nipped/bit my mom on Friday. It was an accident and the friend felt really bad, but I was a little annoyed that my mom didn't tell me. I had noticed the marks on her arm, but didn't realize they were bite marks.
I still miss my dog. Some of my favorite shows were about animals and now I can't bring myself to watch them.
