A lesson I learned was to stop putting people on pedestals. Eventually they will fall.

You're saying to assume that everyone's just a big heaping pile of worthless, and that way one can never be disappointed in anyone. Well, that's all well and good as far as friends and family are concerned, but what about for actual real life heroes, like Batman? |

Gotham City was often disappointed in Batman.
The Lone Ranger was 'disappointing' to Tonto (if you catch my drift).

I'm disappointed in Bob Ross for not being original enough to start his thread about something without resorting to emulating others. Oh, and that he didn't give us any entertaining examples.
ETA: And in my lousy sentence structure!

If you get up in the morning expecting a lousy day, then inevitably, you won't be disappointed. Luckily, I choose to live on the sunny side of the street with some sparkly diamonds and a couple of unicorns thrown in, so I usually don't notice the disappointing people. Unless they piss me off.  |

My family. So much talent, brains and opportunity and not a one took it and actually defied it.
Edited to add family meaning my brothers and sisters.

Tonight I am disappointed in AAA. I took ODS for a hair cut at the shopping plaza near our house. Since he is still working on getting his license, I allowed him to drive. After the haircut, he drove through the large plaza parking lot to park near the grocery store so that I could run in and grab a couple of things. He decided to come in with me. I got out of the car on the passenger side and hit the auto lock for all of the doors. He got out on the driver's side and closed his door---with the keys still in the ignition and the headlights still on. I called AAA and they said someone would be there within 45 minutes. Okay, it's 7:45 so they'll be here by 8:30. Not too bad. We'll just do a larger shopping order than I planned. After 2 more calls to AAA, the tow truck showed up at 9:45.  Seriously?? How does 45 minutes become 2 hours??!!!!!!!!!! I've got frozen pizza in the oven for dinner and ODS is scrambling to finish his homework. Oy vey. On one hand I am so very glad for my AAA Gold membership. On the other hand, had I known they were going to take that long, we would have skipped the grocery store, walked home, and waited until DH got home just before we pulled into the driveway. Sooooooo disappointed in AAA. |

I am also disappointed in Bob Ross. He has actually, seriously answered questions related to the thread, without being ridiculous. What's up with that?!

I'll have you know that while I do own makeup, a polka dotted outfit, pointy hat, and big floppy shoes, my goal while wearing them is not to make people laugh. Quite the opposite, actually.   |

Really, clowns eat babies, didn't know that. No wonder people don't like them.

I read my dailymail I knew that dingoes eat babies, not clowns though.

My nieces were disappointed in clowns as children. Mom took them to the circus and they peeked behind a curtain and saw men putting on make up. They told mom their weren't real clowns at the circus just men dressed up as clowns.  I think the circus should have had real clowns. |
