Reasons I Won’t Be Watching the Inauguration

1. I need to watch my houseplants grow;

2. I need to change the water filter in by Brita;

3. I need to do something Donald Trump wold never do, like, say, help others, by taking a shift at the food bank; and

4. I don’t celebrate lying rapists.

Some of the responses:

If there’s a just God and the Bible bursts into flames, we can watch the re-runs

Actually, he’ll be using the Necronomicon.

I need to dump the litter box [….]

I’ll be busy cleaning the cat box and picking up dog poo outside. Seems like the appropriate time to remind me of what a shitty day it will be.

I would watch but that’s the day I have to file my nails alphabetically.

I will be gathering my lint collection from my dryer to knit a scarf.

The fact that people are going to sit around and watch a guy take the same oath that he literally violated 4 years ago is some messed up stuff.

I’m going to watch the grass grow. I live in Minnesota so I have to shovel first. It’s gonna take all day.

I have a undefined thing to do that day. I’m sure it’s important.

I need to descale my keurig and do some laundry that day. [….]

Ha, love this! Yes, I will be doing more important things as well, such as watching water boil.

My toenails need clipping.

5. I need to clean my toilet with my bare hands;

5. I need to watch paint dry

My imaginary friend is throwing a party, and I can’t miss it. I’ve already bought a piñata filled with invisible candy. That’s the main reason I won’t be able to watch the inauguration.

I’ll be lancing a boil on my ass that day. It will be a far more pleasant experience.

I need to rearrange my sock drawer. [….]

I have to clip my toe nails and really need to focus

I’d rather have my dentist perform that root canal WITHOUT anesthesia.

I’ll be shopping at Costco before the price of everything skyrockets.

My favorite excuse, which no one ever questions: I have to clean out the vegetable bin in my fridge.

Emotional support for houseplants is important.

Much more important.
