Expectations

I hate how I set my expectations too high and when I'd rather complain than learn from my unmet expectations, someone always must let me know that is exactly what I'm doing. It catches me off guard every time, goddamnit.

 

Are you expecting me to like your post?

 

I would but I've reached my quota of positive vibes today. I'm in Time-Out until tomorrow.

 

I expected it and my expectations were sorely unmet. I'm upset, and most importantly, I learned nothing... nothing!!

 

What are you talking about?

 

My expectations were disappointed when I listened and went with the gang to a new lobster place in Cape Cod this year for Saturday night...and did not go back to the place I found and have gone to for the last few years....new place is over rated...much to do about nothing, too expensive...waited an hour before order was even taken(I think they like to sell lots of drinks before people order....smart business...but I did not order any drinks, so I was just sitting there hungry for an hour...lots of other people drank, though...as the place was right next to motel and no one had to drive...it was a walk over).... and I was not happy with the food...never again....I will go to my place next year, even if I go alone....

so the disappointment is really not listening to my own instincts and wanting to be part of the group this year...the last years they all went to my place.....but someone else took charge of decision this year.

 

It sounds like the fault is on their end, not yours.

 

I expected a thread in which my expectations would not be met. I have ambiguous feelings about this.

 

I expect nothing

 

I would have liked your post, but that exactly what you had been expecting

 

I was expecting something like that^
