Idiot Sues Cable Company For Making His Wife Fat

Just when you think nothing could be more ridiculous that a person suing a fast food company for forcing them to eat their food and, thusly, making them fat, we now have a man who is suing his cable company for making his wife fat and his kids lazy. Timothy Dumouchel of West Bend, WI claims Charter Communications made his wife gain 50 pounds and his kids become lazy because Charter didn’t turn his cable TV feed off after he cancelled his service allowing the family continued access to programming.

“I believe that the reason I smoke and drink every day and my wife is overweight is because we watched TV every day for the last four years,” Dumouchel said in a written complaint against Charter.

Perhaps he hasn’t heard today’s televisions have advanced to the stage where they now have off buttons.

I’m 73 and my husband leaves every surface destroyed when he cooks and then cleans it all afterward in one heroic effort — and I clean as I go and present a meal from a kitchen that looks like nobody used it — and we’ve been having the same argument about this for 44 years without realizing that it’s not about dishes, it’s about two fundamentally different philosophies of how to move through chaos, and the kitchen is just the room where the philosophies collide three times a day

Psychology says parents who feel their adult children don’t love them aren’t being dramatic — they’re detecting the difference between maintenance-level contact and genuine emotional investment, and that distinction becomes unbearable once you finally notice it

Psychologists explain that people who have to jiggle the door handle after locking it aren’t paranoid — they’re compensating for the fact that procedural memory doesn’t create the same confidence as episodic memory, which is why we trust what we just witnessed more than what we just did

The generation that was told they could have it all is now watching its childless members age into a healthcare system, inheritance framework, and social safety net that was built entirely around the assumption that everyone would have someone younger who cared enough to make the phone calls

Research suggests adults who received minimal affection as children often become one of two things — either the most physically affectionate person in any room, overcompensating with a warmth they’re terrified of withholding, or the most physically reserved, maintaining a distance they don’t want but can’t override — and both responses are survival adaptations to the same wound, and neither one feels natural because neither one is, they’re both translations of an experience that was never given its original language
