You could however bring it up over tea..at a later date of course.

Don't make the mistake of thinking the person you are arguing with wants to hear how they themselves do the very thing they are accusing you of doing. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

What they want is for you to accept responsibility for your grievous actions so we can put this whole ugly business behind us. Anything less is going to drag everyone down a long sulky road of irritation and possibly name calling.

Balance

Don’t spend so much time worrying about what everyone else wants you to do that you forget what you want to do. It’s unrealistic to say that no one else matters. We’re all obligated to someone, whether it’s our spouse, our kids, our boss or our parents. Relationships require give and take. Just make sure you’re not always the one giving.

Sometimes it’s okay to take.

Some things are not meant to be skimped on

Don't buy the Costco brand toilet paper. Especially not if you are a toilet paper snob like me. It's not worth the few pennys you save. Charmin Ultra is the only way to go.

Sorry Costco, you know I love you, and your brand is usually top notch. This item, not so much.

That’s just gross.

Don’t buy bagged lettuce unless you’re not really concerned about the cleanliness of the food you eat or your own health.

I might get sick just thinking of the results of that study.

They don't expire on the 14th

Don’t eat the whole box of Little Debbie Valentine cakes. Sure, at first it might seem like a good idea, you’re home alone, they’re cute, you might even justify it by skipping lunch. Ten minutes later when all that’s left are an empty box, that waxy frosting residue in your mouth and guilt, you’re gonna wish you’d taken my advice.

Really, you can fix it.

Don’t be so quick to call a repairman. You’d be amazed at what you can do with some determination and a little Google. I’ve replaced the transmission in my washing machine, found a cure for swimmer’s ear, and replaced a broken window. Not only can you save some money, but you’ll feel pretty good about yourself after you retile your pool all by yourself.

I can’t decide which is worse.

Don’t assume your Facebook profile status’ are safe.  Apparently there are tons of websites awaiting your friends generosity with your updates. 

I don’t know what is worse, that there are people out there posting these status updates or their supposed friends.
