That happened to me a few weeks ago. I took my mum to the dentist and I was waiting for her. The waiting room is very big because there are several dentists that work in that place, so there were probably 20 free chairs. This lady came out of the dentist and sit close to me. I think I gave her a very bad look, lol. I was reading my fantasy book and she came there to sit close to me with other 20 free chairs? She stayed there like 2 minutes, the got up and went out. Maybe she didn't feel well, I don't know. but still, why close to me? lol

You're lucky TS, they always want to talk to me, and I don't mean 'hi, how are you', more like 'what are you reading, what's it about, are you enjoying it'. They practically sit in your damn lap sometimes too. I'm a big fan of personal space, people need to stay out of mine.

it can be very naughty - i love 'naughty' text messages...that's something me and the hubs do all the time.

Aren't they the best? I also enjoy the naughty IM. It's just a little way to let them know that they are on your mind.

I hate that! It's as bad as when you're in a movie theater, and it's practically empty, but someone will sit in the same row as you or sit right smack in front of you - so annoying!! :smt095

I know, and it normally seems they are the same people that will sit by you and then talk during the entire movie. What's wrong with people? LOL

You got me, but now that you mention it, that happens all the time. I had to go to a divorce hearing a couple weeks ago, and a man came in and insisted I scoot down so he could sit right next to me on the bench. There were literally around 20 empty chairs right in front of us, so I don't know if he just wanted to be close to the door or what. I've never asked someone to move so I could take a seat when there are other seats open. He did tell me I smelled nice, so maybe that's it... GG were you wearing perfume?

They don't call me GirlieGirl for nothing. LOL I was actually wearing a very nice light scent. It was actually a couple that sat next to me. What was weird was that the woman was going to sit across from me, but her husband/boyfriend told her to sit by me. It was strange. I hope they weren't trying to pull me into some weird sex games.

It's not *their* fault that they find your feminine attractiveness and charms so magnetic.....LOL!

You were earning brownie points until you put the 'LOL' at the end. LOL

I find the majority of the time when people pick on you, make little digs, or outright offensive comments like what you've described Dreaming, that they are simply jealous. Being green with envy often makes people bitter, and the only way they can think of to make themselves feel better is to belittle you, or try to discredit you. Those types will always find something to pick at, it's just who they are. I know it's irritating to you, as it should be, you've worked hard and that should be appreciated. If they can't be appreciative the least they could do is be silent. People like that are pitiful, but the best thing you can do is blow them off as much as possible. You know you work hard, you know you do a good job, f**k anyone who says or thinks differently.

I have found that blowing men off really changes their disposition for the better. (Sorry. My mind is in the gutter today. I'll go put myself in the corner. LOL)

I really don't know why people do it. I was actually browsing the forum while I waited. Maybe they were interested. I need to learn how to do that bad look in the future. LOL

here where I live, maybe old people would do it. Only some foreign people who are more friendly then us. You need to go to southern Italy to find people who talk to you like that. And they actually sit on your lap lmao.

I'd like it if people was a bit more friendly here. I like to smile at people. Oh and old people are so great lol.

Anyway, here's a new one...

Tonights Gripe is brought to you by:

For God's Sake...HAVE YOUR BUS FARE READY *BEFORE* THE DAMNED BUS COMES, WILL YA?!?


With fellow passengers behind, this moron - you can find 'em in any U.S. municipality - waits 'till they (gender neutral...but it *is* mostly fellas.) step aboard to fidget and fish through their pockets to see just what they have to make the *exact* change for bus fare...all the time pulling out toy cars, a pirate's eye patch, a half-eaten apple core, a yo-yo, a dead beetle, ad infinitum....everything BUT the cash...while the bus HAS to stay put until THAT fool is *FINALLY* situated and established.....and everybody else is finally able to board (Of course, showing passes and using tickets...the passengers with the more efficient forms of payment are ALWAYS the ones that have to wait behind said moron)....Needless to say, all the other passengers aboard prior MUST get to their work, school, what-not, and are TERRIBLY behind schedule....Eventually, all systems are go and you're, after much difficulty, finally on your way....

Vent anytime you like, this is 'The Gripe Corner' after all.

I worked in a private medical practice for 8 years, and holy cow there was constant politics and drama afoot. Every damn day you had to deal with some form of foolishness. Jealousy, bitterness, too sensitive, not sensitive enough... it was endless. That is actually probably the best perk to working for myself is doing away with all that, and being able to sit around in my PJs all day if I want to. I feel for you, it's difficult to put up with people trying to run you down all the time to make themselves feel better. As long as your boss and supervisor are behind you, I say just ignore the haters. Ignoring them actually tends to irritate people like that, being nice to them has the same effect and confuses them. Now wouldn't you rather irritate them than let them know they're gettin' to you?

Some muthafucka hit my god damn car and dented my bumper. Didn't notice until I pulled out of the garage.

That sucks BA. What an ass.

I can’t stand when people call you up telling you they’re going to be there at a certain time, and then call you two hours later than they were supposed to have arrived just to cancel on you. After you’ve pretty much cleared out your busy schedule just for them, they go and do something that’s both inconsiderate and inconvenient.

@ unreliable people, that shits for the goddamned birds.

This is one of my major pet-pieves!
Drives me insane!

 

[Inner Beauty]

I hate (this happens a lot) when you're driving on a major street and some jackass wants to pull in front of you when there are NO cars behind you and drive slow as fuck.

Then this ALWAYS happens to me - MF'az who can't stay in their damn lane. I find it odd when it's someone in the left hand lane and they have control of seeing that side.

Here's the other one I love in traffic...
Say you are in the left lane, you want to pass a slopo in front of you (thats another pet pieve)... but some idiot 2 lanes over - who has NO traffic in front of them, decides to switch to the lane between you two for absolutely NO good reason and thereby block your ability to pass the slopo in front of you.
Happens here often.. I mean what are you thinking?? "ho, hum.. no traffic in my lane, Im bored in this lane, lets try the next one for a bit"
??
wtf??

OMG! Another thing that happens to me too! Fucking bastards! That happened to me once in Culver City and I almost got caught by the camera and I'd be the one with the ticket.

They seem to attract us....SMH

Hell yeah. Because I never would've done that to them. Somebody does me like that and they're automatically on my shit-list.

LOL! RIP Mr. Carlin...so true!

As my father always stresses and it never fails, if they do one stupid thing, they're bound to do another and we've even witnessed them doing three. That shit is so true!

Before Mellisa....LONG before Mellisa, I dated a Scandinavian girl or three during my couple of decades travelling & such. (Sverige, Danmark, Suomi-Finland, and Island)

I learned a considerable amount of their language...and just decided to keep up with it after all these years, eh?

Oh really? I thought all americans were like that. All americans I met were pretty unreliable besides the filipinos. LOL.
Glad to know you are not all like that
