Bonus : QUESTION OF THE WEEK
First World Problems..... We asked for examples of shudderingly short sighted self-pity.
* NO EXCUSES - "A few years back, where I used to work, a self-obsessed harridan named Ruth had organised a party to celebrate her pending engagement to a wealthy, nice-but-dim chap. Attendance was mandatory. The soirée was scheduled for a Saturday. On Thursday, we received the grave news that a well-liked member of our team had suffered a miscarriage. All of us were understandably upset and sympathetic. With one exception... 'I suppose she won't be coming to my party then,' Ruth
whined. As we stood there open-mouthed, she continued, 'Why do these things always happen to meeee?'"
* EMPATHY - "Returning to work after becoming a father for the first time, a colleague asked the usual question, "So, how do you feel now you're a parent?" I replied that the hardest thing to get used to was the knowledge that, no matter how hard you try to protect your offspring, something bad could still happen to
them. You just had to live with that fear. She thought for a moment, then said "Yes, I suppose it's like having a white carpet, isn't it?" Probably best if she waits a while before having her own, I reckon." (moon monkey)
