Are you familiar with the personality type who sees a problem with everything?

"If you put on the sausages first, they'll be burned by the time the toast is ready. Ah but if you put on the toast first, it'll be cold by the time the sausages are ready. And what about the tea? Oh god, you don't want mushrooms as well!" Let's forget about breakfast!

well, ironically I see a problem with literally probably mostly everything except the way I cook my sausages lol, I got a perfect time for it 6 minutes in the toaster, right from the start, no need for pre-warm up. if I want to cook it faster I put em in the microwave after approximately 5 mins

@alan20 honestly I don't understand what's going on lol

@wakanda4eva Does anyone? Poteen or poitin (other spellings) is a homemade Irish brew superior to the others; in the morning you just turn over and you're drunk all over again for free.

@alan20 arrr!! sounds like something I really need for an excuse for my dicky behaviour in the past arrrr!

It's not new. Cassandra in Greek mythology.

[quote]Also called Alexandra. Classical Mythology . a daughter of Priam and Hecuba, a prophet cursed by Apollo so that her prophecies, though true, were fated never to be believed. a person who prophesies doom or disaster. a female given name: from a Greek word meaning “helper of men.”[/quote]

Ironic name meaning, eh?

@Mamapolo2016 Doom and disaster! You could be right.
Or it could be Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. Either way, it makes me crazy.@alan20

@Mamapolo2016 Could be a friend of mine. Whether or not there's a problem to be seen, she'll see it. She recently told me her daughter said she prefers boys "because they just get on with it and do things".

Yes - a sort of text-friend I won't identify as he's an SW user, who is interested in various engineering topics, but very naïve about the world beyond his rural Mid-West American region.

When I describe anything technical but unfamiliar to him, his usual reaction is not interested curiosity in a different way of designing or doing common things, but to dismiss it as unworkable. He seems to have three grounds: a) problems and dangers he sees or invents, and exaggerates beyond reality; b) outside personal experience so can't see it works well/ works safely/ even exists; and c) the old "Not Invented 'Ere Guv!" attitude.

To be fair to him, I think I would be no better if I too were a young man with few prospects in the bleak, culturally isolated society he describes.
SW-User
This is vaguely familiar. I must have known someone like this and they must have traumatised me soo much with their indecision I pushed them in the back burner of my memories.

Lol I'm being flippant, but yeah I once knew someone like this.

You need to set out the eggs first.

@Byron8by7 Don't eat 'em. Except as an unavoidable ingredient.
