yarr, that's the backstory!

for yesterday gsis was gonna spend the whole day with gdad because he keeps complaining to her that she's not around enough. so they go to the royal botanical gardens with gsis... but according to gsis he was so still clearly thinking about the hairdresser the whole time and getting super anal about taking pictures obviously to post on facebook specifically for her to see. like it's known that the hairdresser posts photos of herself with roses so gdad really wants to get pictures of gsis with roses to post.

Then get home yada-yada eat yada, gdad takes a nap so I finally get to put on Everything Everywhere All at Once for gsis to see which I've been trying for ages but there's never the time. All good, gdad wakes up, for the first while just watches the movie with us, enjoying it, having a good time and laughing... but then he gets a sudden absolutely urgent need to post the photos from earlier on Facebook. This is when he keeps calling me over for help because he doesn't know how to use computers, disrupting the movie.

He asks me to put the SD Card reader USB in because he can't find the ports, I do it thinking he's got the rest, then he complains again because an error popped up while he was doing something and says he wants to move all the pictures to his computer. I'm not just gonna pause everything to sit and wait 5 minutes to monitor the file transfer so I say I'll just load it on my computer then he can download it wirelessly without having to deal with hardware errors. I do exactly that but the whole time gdad's impatient and starts searching around his office for something??? over time his "searching" gets louder and loader, we hear bins falling and gdad cursing loudly, and when we ask what's wrong he just says he's looking for something, and then complains that the pictures aren't done so clearly that's the actual issue driving him mad.

I'll point out it's 10:45 pm at this time he urgently NEEDS to post these pictures to FB even though nobody's freaking stalking your FB waiting in baited breath to see your status update but no, gdad doesn't understand how normal human beings with their own actual lives and I remind you, a whole ass family of her own and aren't just glued onto Facebook eager to see your posts.

but yeah because he was too disruptive I had to cancel the movie halfway through and go fully download the photos to his computer and go to bed

... or so I thought. 12:30 I try to quietly go to the washroom, and yeah I go unnoticed but I still just hear him shouting obscenities at his computer that he can't figure something out. I go back to my bed though so okay I'm safe. Nope. A few minutes later he goes out to the balcony to stare into my bedroom window to see if I'm awake (I have youtube running, lights off, me laying in bed aka how i go to sleep), and then I hear his footsteps again as he rushes to my bedroom door, opens and asks me to upload his pictures into facebook because he doesn't know how. 1am now and he urgently needs this done and he's going crazy over it, when any reasonable person would understand nothing you post at 1am is being seen ffs

checking now and the hairdresser still hasn't commented or responded to his post and now gdad's saying he wants to delete his FB because nobody cares (he deletes his socials like a couple times a year like this)

he just doesn't understand that no, he isn't the center of this woman's universe - nor should be as I repeat she has a whole as life with a career and family of her own

a 2 month old "relationship" this is, although he tries to say they've known each other for "decades", but then that "knowing each other" is just your typical customer relationship with your hairdresser until very recently.
