Snippy? I asked, not entirely sure what he meant.
Yes, snippy, he said. Abrupt. Critical. If someone says or does something wrong, then youre onto it straight away.

The wife left a note on the fridge:
“It’s not working, I can’t take it anymore! Gone to stay at my Mother’s!”
I opened the fridge, the light came on and the beer was cold. I have no idea what in the hell she was talking about............the fridge works fine.
I dont understand it either
Did she ever say what was wrong with the fridge?
