Anecdote
When my wife and I were looking through photos to put on next year's calendar, we came across a good one of our younger daughter and grandson. Unfortunately, it was spoiled by the presence of a woman in the background.
"We could use it if it weren't for that useless woman", I said.
I meant "useless" in the sense of "not helping". Earlier, I'd described a van as being useless. It's my default way of referring to something in a photograph that would improve the photograph by not being there.
"That's me", said my wife, inspecting the useless woman.
We had a good laugh about it, but this was two weeks ago. I fear that the longer she takes to plot her revenge, the worse it will be.
