I Showed Out

[mp31guitar]

I worked 18 hours yesterday an when I got home my brother and his family were here. After about 10 minutes of visiting my brother asked what the white pipe was. It was my clay pipe. He told me it was broken. I showed out a little and got in the shower. After I got out, I told him it wasn't a big deal and I was sorry for the way I acted. I was just stressed from the day and that was the straw that broke the camels back. I still feel bad about it even though it's over an everything is cool now.

18 hour work days have a tendency to do that to people. Happens to me too.

Happens to the best of us sometimes. Shake it off.

He is your brother? You could'a decked him, but you showed remarkable restraint. Good karma for you. :clap:

I'm missing something. "Showed out"?
"my brother asked what the white pipe was. It was my clay pipe. He told me it was broken. I showed out a little and got in the shower. After I got out, I told him it wasn't a big deal and I was sorry for the way I acted."
Sorry for what? I don't even understand what happened.

After 18 hours of work, I think it is natural to have a short fuse.

Showed out= Lost temper a bit.

 

[bigvan]

Thanks NS... that's a new one on me.
But why would you lose your temper if your brother said your pipe was broken?
Sorry, I think I'm a step behind.

lol... I didn't know what showed out meant, either. Thanks for clearing that up so I didn't have to be the first one to ask.

 

[mp31guitar]

Haha. Sorry for the confusion gents. I thought everyone knew what it meant.

 

[crazypipe]

Good reason to buy a new one ,i say :rofl: ::

 

[ssjones]

Was your brother the one who broke the pipe?

 

[mp31guitar]

I don't know Al. I didn't give him time to tell me. After I got in the shower I got to thinking, It's only a ten dollar clay. And, he only comes down once or twice a year.

 

[cortezattic]

So, did your brother apologize, or offer to pay for the pipe?

 

[mp31guitar]

Yeah, he apologized.

 

[hawk60ce]

Anytime your stuff gets damaged or borken by someone else you have a right to be upset, accident or not. sounds like everything is smoothed out now though which is what matters.

 

[mp31guitar]

Yep, everything turned out well. This was the best Thanksgiving I ever had. Glad everybody is gone though. :lol:

 

[hawk60ce]

I second that!!

 

[pipeinhand]

Maybe ask him to help you find a new one with him. A fence mended on both side is a strong fence indeed. ::

That is a bummer but this just means that when you visit him next if he has a B&M in his town the two of you can go shopping for pipes, maybe have him pick you up a clay and have him buy one for himself and you get him a tin of tobacco you think he would like.
