It is not a secret that I am the laziest person there is in our house and it really isn't unusual that I go send someone to run me some errands. It also isn't unusual for those people to either complete the errand perfectly or just..simply fail at it. That is why I always make it a point that they understand my instructions pretty well. I mostly send them texts telling them what they need to do and always make them repeat to me what I want them to do, just to be sure. But even after all of those reminders, some people just still can't follow instructions properly.
Like yesterday, I asked my niece to go out and have my passport and license photocopied. I gave her the passport and my license, then told her to have every pages of the passport copied including the front and back cover. I added that she should make sure that both sides of my license were also photocopied. Before leaving, I asked her to repeat to me what I just instructed her to do and she was able to reiterate them perfectly. I was confident she will nail this task perfectly.
When she came back I thanked her and asked, "did you have every pages of the passport photocopied?" to which she nodded yes. I asked again, "including the cover?" She nodded yes once more. I was really glad that she followed my instructions properly and was about to give her money as a reward (lol) but then!! I went through all the papers and when I saw the photocopied license I was like... "OMG! You didn't have the back part of the license photocopied! -_-" Uwaaa..XD You know what she did when I told her that? She just freaking smirked at me. That little twerp! XD Oh wells, I just made her go back and have both sides photox and this time, it was done properly. Lol.
There was also another incident involving my youngest brother (bro.3). We were both college students back then and we were living with our eldest brother (bro.1) in a condo unit. Every month we had to pay a maintenance fee for all of the amenities we utilize at the office on the 2nd floor, our unit was on the 11th. Bro.1 told bro.3 to go down to the 2nd floor and pay for the monthly fee. Bro.3 said yes and he got ready to head down. After a while, he went out after telling me where he's headed, I was munching on some biscuits back then while watching TV. I was surprised when he came back not even 10mins after he went out. Bro.3 came in through the door, walked straight in front of me and said..."What was I gonna do again on the 2nd floor?" I burst out laughing like shit! HAHAHAHHAHA. I was like.. "You just told me what you're gonna do before you head out and now you're asking me?" LOL. Poor bro.3, he got teased like hell for his airheadedness. HAHAHA
There's only one lesson we can pick up in the stories I shared. That's if you want something done properly, you better do it yourself and stop making other people do it for you. But yours truly is such a lazy ass. She never learns her lesson. HAHA. I am still going to continue sending people out and make them do my errands. LOL.
