Legally intolerant

Keset ülikooli lõpetamise vormistamist, korteri renoveerimise avapauku ja muid töiseid mölle, toon postide nappuse kompenseerimiseks teile ühe põneva blogi, mida ma aeg-ajalt naudin. Tekst pärit selliselt ilmakodanikult nagu Anonymous Lawyer.

Nagu õhtuti spordis auru välja laskvad inimsesed on argielus reeglina vähem närvilised, käin ka mina RSS-söötja vahendusel selle mehe maailmapilti uurimas ja olen peale seda järgmised paar päeva väga irooniavaba ning tolerantne.

Viimane lugu on aga liiga vaimukas, et olla tõsi:

I hate houseguests. My wife's sister and her husband are in town for a few days, staying in our guest room. They're insufferable. They didn't like our milk. They went out and bought soy milk instead. One of them is lactose-intolerant. Like that's my problem. So that's cluttering up the refrigerator. I'm just regular intolerant. I'm fine with lactose. So they wanted to go sightseeing last night, and somehow I got convinced to drive. They wanted to see O.J. Simpson's house, which isn't even the same house anymore. It's been rebuilt. I thought we'd just drive by, they could look out the window... but, no. They had to get out and search the sidewalk for blood stains. We saw some guy a few houses down watering his plants and they thought it was Mark Fuhrman, planting a bloody glove in the ground. They bought a star map and made me drive all around looking for these houses, like they were going to see Florence Henderson out in the yard throwing a football with her grandkids at 8:00 at night. Insufferable.

We stopped for ice cream sandwiches on the way back -- there's a place I take Anonymous Son to every so often ($1 for some ice cream sandwiched in between two fresh-made cookies, there's not a better deal in the city) and I figured these people are of a similar mental age so they might enjoy it. And again with the lactose. Suck it up and deal. The world has milk products. We learn to cope. If an associate here ever turned down a milk product offered to him by a partner, just because he was lactose intolerant, I wouldn't stand for it. Polite guests, and polite employees, take what's offered. It's not a nut allergy, they're not going to guy. So you're a little uncomfortable for a while. That's what being a guest is all about.
