what-is-wrong-with-these-people episode

My friend told me that I have lost weight. And that is good. What is wrong with these people? I spent months at the gym trying to gain a few pounds and it is good to lose all that within a few days due to flu?

Losing weight sucks and it is not good. Can these people even fail to see this point?

Sunday was not as enjoyable as it was supposed to be. The rain and my flu prevented me from playing ball. And in the middle of the afternoon, I emerged from my room to find my brother's room half submerged in water. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the water was not due to the rain, but rather the water pump for the fish tank in the living room. The fish, had apparently in one of their often sudden jerks, dislodged one of the tubes attached to the pump.

The pump instead of pumping the water back into the tank began to pump water out of the tank. And the water had flowed from the living room into my brother's room. His papers and electronic equipment on the floor are now soaked in water. The Apple Wireless Airport is now a seaport and his computer almost had liquid cooling above and beyond his cooling fan.

Looking at the situation, I knew that a storm is brewing, a time bomb is ticking. If it was my room, I would have flipped. I would come home, survey the scene, feeling totally pissed. I would slowly pack, and as I plod on, anger will come sipping in, as with every passing minute, additional damages will be uncovered. Alarms were ringing, and I plan to evacuate before my brother returns. I grab some cloth and did basic damage control. But the damage was too extensive for a lone individual and I dialled for back up.

My mum, after having the situation described to her, simply asked, "How's the fish?"

For a second, I was stunned. I mean... what the fuck, what is wrong with these people? They are just fish. What we are talking about here are high tech equipment worth thousands. A potential nuclear meltdown upon my brother's return is staring in our face, do they not understand?

Just what is wrong with these people? Their priorities are warped and their concerns totally misdirected... have their survival instincts died? Or what?
