Stop Double Booking

Make single commitments. Don’t commit to go ice skating and see a movie at the same time on the same day. It’s not a good idea.

The whole 80s tv sitcom trope of “I booked 2 dates on the same night – I’LL ATTEND THEM BOTH” routine never works out. Not in fiction and not in real life. Quit it. 

The only person to come close to pulling it all off was Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire when he accidentally booked a family dinner on top of an important business meeting. He got caught in both and at least lied his way through the business end by pretending Doubtfire was an intentional dress rehearsal that he wanted to pitch the boss for a character driven childrens show that actually gets greenlighted. The ruse is caught with the half that matters though and his family dinner is ruined and the entire jig is up at that point.

Just make this a rule of life to live by: If Robin Williams couldn’t do it, then neither can you. Admittedly, that’s currently not the best sounding axiom considering Robin Williams just recently committed suicide, but just keep the saying applied only to his characters and you’ll be fine.

There are 2 reasons you people try to do 2 things with 2 groups at the same time without each group knowing about the other:

1- You’re a complete narcissist that just don’t give a fig (or any other fruit for that matter. you selfish Fukk). You book 2 things on top of eachothz because why not? You’ll find a way to make it work. and if you don’t? Feh. Who cares? You’re not the one that missed out so why worry about it? Cuz other people, right? Eff em.

2- You’re a self-esteemless worm who makes themselves into a liar by trying to please everyone all the time. Saying no to someone who invites you to a birthday party the same hours as your grandmothers wake is just too uncomfortable in your thirsty panicky mind so you promise everything either so you don’t miss out or so you can “make everyone happy”.

Y’all need ta fkkn stop.

If Robin Williams couldn’t pull it off, then neither can you (*not applicable to “life”).
