Share? I have a better idea..

When I was about 16, I had a problem with sharing I tended to 'over-react' when someone asked me to share. One day in the park I had a whole share bag of malteasers to myself and a small boy asked me for one. Instead of just saying  "No" I decided to scream "WELL HAVE THEM ALL THEN" and throw the bag at the poor kids face.

Now I realised that kind of behaviour (I'd do it to everyone) wasn't acceptable and wanted to be able to offer people things but still found it difficult when people said yes. Luckily I found a loophole in the system and I'm going to share it with you now.
I refined my palate to like things that not many people like E.G : Iron Bru, Liqourice and peppermint tea, rainbow drops and liqourice and blackcurrant sweets. Funnily enough now when I offer people these things I don't mind if they say yes..

  1. Are we not supposed to like those things? Except rainbow drops (not sure if we have those or what they would be called if they were here) I love all those things.

  2. Most people don't Jamie. How many people ask for a sip of your Iron Bru?

  3. Thanks for sharing that with us... Some people like Marmite, but even they don't don't seem to want it when you offer it to them on your finger..

  4. I like your style.

    I discovered many years ago that when at social gatherings if you roll a joint using a menthol cigarette it tends to come back to you.

  7. That's a wonderful idea. Like when I ask my girlfriend what type of chips she would like, and sometimes buy all of the "wrong kinds." Oops!

  8. Ha, I love this. I love the idea too, perhaps I shall try it myself.

    However, if ever you were to offer me rainbow drops I would have trouble not taking them all :P

  9. I hate sharing as well some times. I know it wasn't suppose to be funny, but when you randomly yelled at the kid, it made me smile. I love your blog:)

  10. Actually Ninja Clown it is supposed to be funny, unless the kid went on to develop a deep seated psychological problem concerning Maltesers, that wouldn't be funny at all!
    your blog is cool too!

  11. Black jelly beans are my favorite sport and no one wants any. I wonder if that's why I eat them.
