I’ve got a short temper. It’s always been like that. I can be unreasonably annoyed by small things like when someone says something stupid. To name one example I hate and by that I mean that I absolutely loathe people who say things like “Knock on wood” (except for Otis Redding of course) in a jaunty manner. It makes my skin crawl. Still some people whom I normally respect say things like that and similar even more despicable expressions from time to time. The last time I heard expression Knock on wood was a couple of days ago when a bought an antique lamp piece off of a seller on the stellar auction site lauritz.com. It’s kind of casual actually and don’t know the person who sold me the item. Anyhow, I was supposes to (and I did) transfer money to his account and he was in turn supposed to send it to me through air mail. Oh that’s right the point.. Yeah. This morning I received an email from the man , telling me the sufficient funds got through to his account the day before and that he was going to mail my lamp the very next day and that he hope that it would reach me unscathed, Knock on wood, otherwise he had some kind of insurance that would cover unfortunate accidents. I immediately felt like punishing his damned impudence by cancelling the deal and demand my hard earned cash back. I might need some therapy.
