I need to vent about my 12 year old. His nickname right now is Magoo because he seems to be coasting through life oblivious to the destruction and mayhem he leaves in his wake. I worry if his head will ever exit his ass and he'll be able to be a productive member of society.
A few gems from the last couple months:
1. We exit my truck to go into the store. As we're walking in, he says "oh, I forgot my wallet in the truck" and goes back to the truck while we continue into the store. Fast forward 30-45 minutes, we're walking out of the store and his door is wide ass open. Luckily I don't keep anything of value in the cab. All other doors were locked so I know it wasn't someone pulling on handles. He just left the fucking door open. BTW, he's done this before at home when I've sent him outside to retrieve something from the truck. We get up the next day to leave and the door is open.
2. I have an LG french door fridge. It's showing its age but it still works so I've yet to replace it. It has a quirk where if you just let gravity try to shut the door, it doesn't shut all the way. It stays open about 2 inches and you have to give it a push to close all the way. He is aware of this because I've told him at least 10 times to come shut the fridge when I've walked behind him and see it still "open". Fast forward to a month ago, he goes to get a drink out of the fridge as we're walking out the door to leave for the day and I remind him to close the fridge. He says ok, We get home that evening to find the door propped open and a brisket, 2 racks of spares and a pork butt all sitting at room fucking temperature.
3. Today (and the reason for this thread), we're leaving out this morning and like usual, he has forgotten something in the house (he fucking forgets everything constantly). He goes back in as I get his little brother loaded up., As he gets in the truck, I ask "did you close the door and relock the deadbolt" and he comes back with a frustrated 'yes' like how dare I question his ability to do simple tasks. I get home tonight at 8 and you guessed it, front door is wide ass open and the inside of the house is in the mid 80's with the AC unit s-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g.
He also drops/spills EVERYTHING. CONSTANTLY.
rant over. for now.
