The upshot

[fredericks]

Periodically I feel moved to walk around carrying three placards that I can pull out when I'm too annoyed to bother speaking. They would say, in no particular order:

1. "Shut the fuck up"
2. "It's not always about you"
and
3. "Shit happens"

As it is this silence thing is only taking me so far.

Personally, I think those placards should be issued to particular people at birth.

Less "issued" and more "stamped on their bloody foreheads" is what I'm thinking.

[rikku-142.livejournal.com]

I'd agree with that.

You should sell the 3 placards in a cute little bag...I'd totally go for it! ;)

If those little boutiques on the Upper East Side can get away with printing two to three word phrases on teeny tiny baby tops to price 'em at $20.00 surely I, a (sorta maybe) broke college student can scribble phrases on pieces of board, stick them in a cute bag, and make dough. A market is born!

Niiiice :)

You need one of those curse-toys, where you press a button and a random curse word/phrase spouts out of it. ;)

Ah, but the signs lend themselves to a whole 'nother form of expression. The offending party would have to take the time to read and then ... signs, definitely signs. :)

Sounds good to me. And may I suggest "Go over there now." as a 4th card?

[fredericks.livejournal.com]

Excellent suggestion! Although a nice kick in the rear might suffice. If I'm pissed off enough to have to pull out three placards I don't know if would have patience enough to actually reach down for a fourth.

ROTFL, very good idea, maybe I will copy it....I am not sure my bf would like it, but hey....it's worth a try, grins
