First, it was my new landlord who, for some reason, called me at 7:10am and I, for some reason, answered:
"Oh, you're a morning person!" he says instead of the plain and simple "Hello, this is Chris."
"Well, I'm getting around for work, gotta be there at 8:00."
"I've been up for 2 hours!" he gloats
"Wow" I say, not amused. "You got me beat there!" laying on the sarcasm.
"Well, just wait until you have kids- no more sleeping in!"
Since when was 7:10 sleeping in? And why do I have to wait until I have kids to get up at 5:00am?
Then it was my supervisor.
"So you signed your lease?" he asks when I got back with keys to my new apartment.
"Yeah, and having a bit of buyers remorse."
"Really? Just wait until you buy a house! Talk about buyers remorse!" he replies.
Ignoring what he just said, "Well, it's a nice place, lots of room and really close to work. I'd like to do some painting, but other than that, it's just fine for me."
Am I not qualified as a measley old renter to feel buyers remorse? Do I have to somehow reach a level in my habitat status to feel this sense of guilt?
Finally it was one of my best friends... who happens to be pregnant. "Just wait until you get married and get pregnant... you don't have time to keep up with friends or exercise."
Sounds like what I'm "waiting for" really stinks... so why should I be waiting for it?
