I feel like too many people take being corrected like this as a sign that I’m trying to be condescending when, to me, it’s a simple courtesy I hope other people extend to me as well when I mess up.
A lot of people correct others not out of courtesy. Maybe this mom has been burned too many times before.
My mom likes to say “you wouldn’t know what ___ is if it weren’t for me!” Whenever this happens
I love the conspiracy lady who tells everyone that Bill Gates wants you to get vaccinated because he wants you to eat the meat grown in a Peach tree dish
I talked to a customer the other day at work who kept saying he’d connected his phone to the “wee fee”.
I’ve been in IT over 20 years and I say “wee fee.”
Eee tee guy ^
I just had a conversation with my mom where she brought up the spoon thing when I complained I’m just here free IT guy. I told her “yeah, but i fucking learned. That either means I’m way smarter than you or you’re just an old dog that can’t learn new tricks”.
She’s your fucking mom dude.
And? You don’t know me, my mom, or our relationship. This could have been a situation where my mom is a narcisistic horrible person, or it could have been a situation where my mom and I are giving each other a hard time and cracking jokes. Both of these make my response perfectly reasonable.
If you must know this was all in good fun. She thought my joke was funny. I frequently talk to her like this and she laughs. Litterally half an hour later she was so thankful I was such a great kid to raise among other things.
