Don't you just hate it when...You're walking up your basement stairs favoring your left side because your back is sore from trowelling a new topping on your driveway the day before. Your body is listing to the left when you catch your shoulder on an outcropping of trim on the wall separating the stairs from the kitchen. The force of the impact tears an opening in your shoulder and the resulting blood stains the new white t-shirt you were so proud you found at the great price of $6 at Walmart.. Now your pride is shattered because you've spent $6 on a paint rag. Don't you just hate that.
Have a great day
Loved

๐ Well, Ed, I cannot relate to some aspects of this story✏ - like trowelling a driveway๐ or walking into an outcropping of trim on a wall๐ . But I can feel the sore back๐ฃ; l definitely wear scars from walking into things๐ช; and I still regret ruining a nylon blouse with a hot iron๐. (At least your t-shirt could become a paint rag๐จ!)
๐We all have a "don't you just hate it when.." story to tell.๐จ Yours takes the prize for excruciating events, clever bottom line and start-to-finish humour!๐

๐HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MELISSA AND ALAN!
๐ด๐ตBest wishes on the third anniversary of your wedding day๐ญ! We have such good memories of sharing that occasion with you three years ago today๐ .
๐Now we must be content to send our warmest greetings across the miles๐. We hope our snail-mail card๐ฎ also reaches you at your new address in Southeast Calgary๐ก. We join Bjorn๐จ and Sarafina๐ง in celebrating that day of renewal, commitment and love that they themselves were so much a part of๐ซ.
⛳Here in St. Andrews we will shortly be raising a toast to you,๐ your good health and to happy family life๐ช. Cheers!๐ท๐ท
✉Lots of love,
Mom and Dad

That's a good one Ed. LOL
Here's a "don't you just it hate it" from the book of the same name.
"When the waitress asks "Is Everything alright here?" after you've taken a big bite out of a sandwich, causing you to grunt your response."
It has happened to me more than once!
Love,
ME
xoxoxoxoxo
Don't you just hate it when someone asks you if your mom and you are sisters?
Or if a visiting coach (ten years your junior) is your daughter?
Or that they can tell that you and your friend "were beautiful women when you were young"?
Honestly - all 3 happened in the same restaurant! It's out of business now.
(-:
Oh my goodness Christine. I'm laughing here. I know the feeling.
I was asked if our brother Marty was my son. Worse than that I was once asked if Bob was my son!
Love ya,
ME

LOL at all of your 'just you don't hate it when'. Mine pales in comparison:
Don't you just hate it when you settle down with your brand new puzzle book and discover it is one you have already bought and finished not that long ago. I do it quite regularly these days.
✏Ha ha, BJ... and I have one of your second copies to prove it.๐ So this turns into a 'don't-you-just-love-it-when..' story for me.๐ I'm having lots of solving fun with your 'slightly-used' puzzle book. Thanks for the happy ending!๐
Love Lucy๐

It is a bit too cool for us to sit out in our garden this morning๐ก but our sunroom looks out at the plants and flowers that have responded so beautifully to Dave’s care๐บ. His country garden makes us think of you today and of the joy your professional landscaping touch must bring to others๐ฟ.
๐จ๐พYou will likely have to put in a full day’s work in the field before you can kick back, light those 53 candles and make a birthday wish.๐ We join Mona๐ฉ๐ป, the rest of your family and close friends๐ in wishing you all the best on your special day๐.

๐HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LORRAINE!๐
Hi from us in Scotland where we are enjoying another day of autumn sunshine on the shore of the North Sea๐ต๐ด. We have already greeted you over on Facebook๐where a recent post suggests that you are right in the middle of moving from Newfoundland to Nova Scotia.๐ We hope you can take a break for some birthday fun along the way.๐
๐ฃOur travels have never taken us to the Maritime provinces but your love for that part of Canada makes us think we should definitely try to get there someday๐ฌ. In the meantime, we will simply imagine you there๐♀️, celebrating your fifty-third birthday in a place that is already so special to you๐ก. We join friends and family in wishing you the kind of birthday that fills you with happiness today๐ and holds much promise for the future๐ฎ.
We’ll drink to that๐ท๐ท!

๐ถOf course, we remember that you have the same birth date as your Grandpa Don.๐ด Though he has been on life's road almost three times as long as you have๐ฃ, as fellow travellers the two of you get to share so much more than this one day's celebration.๐ก๐ช

✍๐ปThank you for the hours of solving fun that I will get from the “fist-full” of newspaper puzzles that you sent along with Vicky.

⏰We are late posting this greeting to you on your forty-third birthday.๐ Luckily, here in Scotland we are about five hours ahead of you so your special day is still relatively young in Ontario๐. We hope it is also a drier day than we have had so far.
We are happy to join Andry๐บ, Sadie, Carmen ๐ญand Evan๐๐ป♂️ in putting together a very nice day for you - the kind that suits you and them perfectly.๐ฉ๐ป Maybe this Friday’s celebrations will spill over into a weekend of good times with family and friends๐.
⛳️Here in St. Andrews we are just heading out to the Golf Club for ‘steak night’๐ฅฉ. You can be sure that we’ll invite our friends, Frances and John to raise a birthday toast in honour of you๐ฅ. Family means everything to them๐ and they love to salute the special people in our lives, too๐ก. Here’s to you at 43. Cheers!๐ท๐ท

⛳️Of course, we are back in St. Andrews but tomorrow we will make our way to the isle of Islay off Scotland’s west coast⛴ to set plans in motion for our own 50th anniversary next August๐ด๐ต.

For now though, we join your wonderful family๐ and dear friends in wishing you the joy of cherished memories๐ญ, comfort in all that is already yours๐ก, and good health for the road ahead๐ฃ.
๐We consider ourselves very lucky to be celebrating your anniversary in a spirit of promise and hope for ourselves.๐ฎ Thank you for being such an awesome couple๐ซ. Have a wonderful day!๐
