They probably have a word for it in German.
I bet the Germans have a word for this belief.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Patronized is close to what I'm looking for. Man, I hate, hate, HATE this feeling. Words are usually at my disposal, but every now and again, I need one and it just utterly escapes me.
I think that maybe affronted might work. It always has the whiff of "sensitivity" to it.

“Not dead yet!”
Yeah, I thought of affronted, too, but it didn't seem to be quite right. It's affronted with the slight whiff of paranoia that comes with patronized. The "You say you're working on my behalf, but I see no evidence of it," feeling.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I bet the Germans have a word for this belief.
And they created it by stringing four other words together.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
if I run out of tissues at work, does that mean I can go home?? Blargh!!
And for another sign the economy sucks. I'm trying to order speakers, and due to scaling back at the factory, they can not guarantee an October 1st delivery. Which means I need a plan B.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Vortex, all kinds of warm and fuzzy thoughts for you this weekend...along with some yummy adult beverages.
Just remember: you are fabulous. That is a constant.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
The guy from the tree company down the street is going to take a look at it later this afternoon. I am hoping he will take pity on me. I'm not really a fan of the company, because I've seen crew members working without being safetied, but they seem like my best shot for something like this. This is their opportunity to change my mind, I guess. At some point, several trees have to go, including probably the one that dropped the limb, but I don't have the money. It's going to cost roughly the cost of a trip around the world to take that one out, since it's huge, hangs over the house and hangs over the power drop.

Much get-through-the-weekend~ma to you, Vortex.
In other news, forget sonic screwdrivers. I want acoustic tweezers.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Lots of ~ma, Vortex.
