I was driving home just now, and was stopped at a traffice light, kinda daydreaming, not really paying attention. It felt like someone was looking at me, so I glanced over at the car next to me. There were two ladies in the front seat and two young girls sitting in the back seat. The woman who was sitting in the passenger side (directly across from me) was imitating my facial expression (like I said, I was daydreaming, and probably had a spaced out expression). As soon as she saw me looking at her (and I gave her the dirtiest look possible), she turned away and looked at the woman sitting next to her and started laughing, as if to say, "Oops she saw me." I know they were saying something about me, because one of the young girls in the backseat of the car was looking at me and laughing too (and I gave her a dirty look as well).

What the hell?? I thought that this childish bullshit stopped once people mature and get out of high school. Fucking bitch, I wanted to roll down my window and say, "Excuse me, do you have a problem? Oh yeah, you think it's a funny, cool thing to do, to make fun of other people. That's a very poor example you're setting for those two young girls sitting in the backseat. You're a grown ass woman, why don't you start acting like one?" Yeah, I know, some of you are going to say, "Ignore it, don't let it bother you", but this kinda shit pisses me off, especially when it's a grown up person doing this bullshit behavior. I put up with a lot of this crap as a child, and I thought that shit was behind me now. Guess not.

I know it's hard but don't let narrowminded people get you down, hon...you know you're better than that

It is good to express your anger..

I wish you would have flipped them off! People like that are really stupid!

I TOTALLY know how you feel Nan! I'm usually SO NICE about stuff. Sometimes I wish I could come up with the PERFECT comeback...putdown...whatever.

A few days ago, as really crummy thing happened at clinicals. I thought and thought about what to do about it. Then it hit me. I confronted the individual. Blunt but professional. Don't think it did any good but I sure felt better. What I really liked was that I didn't just "take it."

But people like you ran across really make ya wish you could flick a HUGE BUGGER at them!!

Some people are so full of shit. I went to the bars a few weeks ago and some lady bitched me out for not tipping enough. She said she was a single mother and even she could afford to tip more than I did. Fuck that shit. I was so angry that she felt like she just HAD to take her own personal issues out on me.

ugh now I'm all riled up. FUCK!

Now is not a good time. He's venting spleen.

There's better things to worry about.

Like if the Org will continue to live.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

oh, ok. As long as it's the spleen he's venting because that is pretty much a disposable organ. If it were the heart or the lungs then I would have to have a private word with him.

Spleen =

Thanks all, for your words of encouragement, I appreciate it. I wish I had a paintball gun, where I could blast that bitch in the face, then I could get the last laugh. But I'm too damn nice to do that, and that's part of my problem.

Don't worry, Doll.
One day one of them will be at a stop light, picking their nose, and they will get so BUSTED. Just know that.

Don't let stuff like this get to you, it was not worth your anger. But hey, you feel much better now anyway getting it off your chest, so good for you.

I was driving down a small street where the speed limit was 40km/p/h (next to a school) and this guy was tailgating me and blaring his horn because I was doing the speed limit and there was no room to pass me. I had the baby in the car and was so tempted to stop in front of him and sweetly ask him with great concern what was wrong, doesn't my brake light work?. It would have made him so mad, but stuff like that is too dangerous, road rage being on the rise and that.

awww. i think it's because there are those people in the world who are angry, insecure and sometimes downright evil who need to put others down in order to give themselves the illusion of going 'up'. some people never ever grow out of this. they're like psychic leeches and they enjoy provoking negative reactions in others around them.

remember, living well is the best revenge. easier said than done but there it is

Just smile Don't lose your cool.
