Rate your level of cynicism

It’s late at night. You are already in your PJ’s when you remember that load of laundry that has been sitting for hours in the shared dryer unit of your apartment complex. You kindly ask hubby who is watching football to please get the laundry before he comes to bed, and he nods in the affirmative.

It is now morning, you wake and go to get dressed when you remember your jeans were in the last laundry load. You enter the living room expecting to see said load of laundry. But it’s not there. Neither is hubby who has left for work. You scurry down the hallway half dressed to retrieve the laundry and find your entire load is neatly folded and sitting on top of the dryer. You think:

A) Wow, how nice of the person needing to use the dryer to perform such a service for me. They must have noticed the little kid clothes and wanted to help a busy mother out.

B) Somebody has way too much time on their hands

C) Obviously someone is trying to make me feel guilty for forgetting to retrieve my clothes in a timely manner. *huff*

D) Obviously someone is trying to make me feel guilty for forgetting to retrieve my clothes in a timely manner. *huff*

*thinking*

Darnit, it’s working!

*thinking*

Well maybe they were just trying to be nice. Maybe I am a cynic? I can’t believe my first thought was that someone was trying to make me feel guilty. Maybe they weren’t and I just thought something bad about this nice person who folded my laundry for me.

*thinking*

Oh now I feel guilty for being so cynical!! *frustrated stamp of foot* I can’t freaking win!

If your answer was A:
You are anything but cynical. Perhaps even a little too trusting. Face the facts, sometimes life and people really are out to get you. But we could all do with a little more optimism I suppose.

If your answer was B:
Your not on all out cynic but you’re leaning that way. You are definitely a realist and perhaps a little mean spirited at times. Be careful what you say around others as you don’t want to hurt too many feelings on accident. Or on purpose

If your answer was C:
Yep, your a cynic.

If your answer was D:
You are all of the above. You also think WAAAAAY too much. If you need to, go zone out in front of a video game to get rid of all thought before your brain explodes.
