Teenagers......What planet are they on?

Planet Zog

Thank you for that merlotgran, it cheered me up no end!

Bless him. ?

One likes to imagine that he presumed you'd arranged (for reasons only you know) to have your delivery at his house so took it in thinking you would come to collect it at your convenience.
On second thoughts he's a teenage 'man' two disadvantages to sensible behaviour.

At least you got your own back by waking him up!

I have the female version..

Love it !

He he he! Oh what a darlin'.

Love it, so typically teenage behaviour. The boy will go far I've no doubt.

merlotgran oh my your story has made me howl with laughter, having been through the teenage years with 3 lads and one still in the midst i still cant tell you what planet they are from

That had me laughing out loud
Bless him

I must be thankful it wasn't his younger brother who hasn't broken up yet. He'd have been half way down the chocolate digestives.

Sympathies merlot, mine came home today, after going to the train station at 7am and got on the train, only to be told off the guard that he shouldn't be on it and had to get on as his ticket was for the 12 noon train! Back to uni and a wait for the later train! These people are supposed to be intelligent!

Apparently they have a chart on their landing to see who gets the most "idiot" stickers, I do think my son is winning at the moment. I've just thought that I have to think of him as an alien, you know, like E.T., who comes to visit and then "phone home". At least now I know that he is only here for three weeks, I will get myself back to myself sooner than I know. And in the meantime, I will enjoy the alien.

I bet that if you told that story to any other teenager they would neither get what was so funny not would they see that he had done anything wrong.

I enjoyed it the tale, too, and can quite imagine it happening! And no harm was done really.

He probably thought it was some weird, incomprehensible arrangement made by adults (who knows how adults' brains work?!) and he did his best in the circumstances.

Yes,that was it FarNorth,bless his cotton socks.

Delivery drivers are not the brightest either. We waited in all day Tuesday for a delivery by parcel force, paid extra for named day delivery, never arrived. DH rang parcel force and they said it had been delivered and signed for four hours earlier
We checked CCTV and saw van driver get out of van, looked straight at our front door and promptly walked across the road and left the parcel in a neighbours porch and signed his machine himself.

That cheered me up merlo , especially the bit about studying Politics ! he will make a fine MP if he can remember to put his trousers on . x

The delivery driver who came the other day seemed brighter than anyone else I had dealt with at the firm
I was so thankful that he, at least, knew what was going on!

That made me smile merlot, we are a teenager free zone in the family currently and this reminder of the way they operate made me laugh.

DS would often remember to tell me that "someone" had phoned. Obviously he never asked for a name and usually couldn't even tell me if the caller was male or female.

The same planet we lived on at the same age.
