[QUOTE=matt\_mcl] I always liked the simple message, delicate and charming, outlined with flowers and duckies and little cottages: DO NOT FUCK WITH ME [/QUOTE] I actually made this one for my best friend last xmas. It was _so_ much fun! I highly recommend the kits on the web site - so simple and guaranteed to bring love and joy to the recipient 😛 ---

I think “Do your own damn dishes” would be appropriate. At least in my house. ---

“Quit whining, ya pansy!” “Shit, or get off the pot!” “You want fries with that?” “Should I just shit a gold brick now, or can you wait?” “What the _FUCK_ is your problem?!” “You’re a grouch, but I love you anyway, so there!” “Money can’t buy happiness, but it can rent it for a while.” “Don’t talk to me yet, I haven’t had any caffine and I might say what I really think.” “You don’t want my true opinion.” B. I. T. C. H. Being In Total Control (of) Herself “You say that like it’s a bad thing!” “Where am I going, and what the fuck is up with this handbasket?!” “Putting make-up and a nice dress on, doesn’t make one a lady.” for a disgruntled Kansan: “I ate Toto!” (Wizard of Oz reference) “Real ladies eat!” (You could substitute women for ladies, and make it spicier by adding “beef”.) ---

[QUOTE=Zabali\_Clawbane] “Don’t talk to me yet, I haven’t had any caffine and I might say what I really think.” [/QUOTE] That is so me. I _do not_ want to talk first thing in the morning either before, or during my coffee. First thing SO wants to do upon first opening her eyes in the morning is perform some sort of brain dump and she has to do it verbally. It’s like she sits up all night thinking about everything and has to get it all out within the first five minutes of being awake. I have to physically hide from her, or she’ll follow me around. Get a diary! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/subversive-cross-stitch/432482.md?page=2)
