I'm sure you all are familiar with this saying.....I don't like guessing games and even less with topics I care very little about.

Go ahead and tell me......I could be guessing all day otherwise.

Ugh. That is so annoying when people do that. It comes off as bragging and rubbing it in that their weekends are more exciting or fun than our weekends.

are you asking US what WE did? do you want us to guess what YOU did? or is this just a complaint about small talk?

Personally, I love to play guessing games :oops:

I just hate when I make a guess, and they say "Nope, this is what the answer is..." without even giving me another try =/

That's for you to know and the detectives to figure out.

There's a way to make it worse yet. They could say, "Guess what I did this weekend." and blurt out the answer before any guess can be supplied. Then it goes from smug guessing game to insipid suspense-building device. :hmph:

Today I cut some roses and arranged them, and my spouse brought in some lilies, glads, dahlias, zinnias, sunflowers, balloon flowers and marigolds and I arranged them.

I adore fresh flowers in the house.

Other than that, a little cooking, a little housework. For some reason I had insomnia last night so it's been a low-energy day for me.

I get annoyed with that too especially when I keep getting wrong.

What i did this weekend was mostly spend time with my girlfriend, spend time on comp & sleep. I did go to RiteAid Saturday morning cuz I had 3 meds to pick up but that was the most work I did

Guess who spent the whole weekend locked in his room, hiding from
— the landlady,
— her husband, boyfriend, lover or whatever he is,
— the other tenant, and
possibly his girlfriend or whatever she is, who had fairly loud sex with him in the living room, in broad daylight, another similar weekend, when they both probably thought noöne else was around, but maybe they did know there was someone and did it out of defiance and to mark their territory.
Guess who did actually pay the rent, even though most readers probably assumed he didn't and that's why he was hiding.
Guess who does actually do all the housework he needs done, since he knows damn well noöne is going to do it for him, even though the first of these guesses probably makes him look like too much of a sluggard to bother.
Guess who hates small talk, too, but knows better than to criticize it at this point, being aware that it's normal, healthy human behavior favored by natural selection for millions of years, whereas his own behavior is the mentally defective one.
Guess what? If you don't like guesses, guess what you can do—go read elsewhere and leave the guessers alone.
