Well, after all he IS gay so a bit of girlishness wouldn't go amiss.

I was going to suggest slipping each person a little tongue, but I guess that would work, too.

Teacher said:

man, if i had a dollar for everytime i have wanted to point out something along those lines...

Teacher said:

wow, THAT'S not offensive.

where would we be without your sage words of wisdom?

But seriously, that kind of situation is something that is so destructive to your emotions and peace of mind. I mean, the whole thing is unjust as the other party, or parties, invariably never experience the irritation you do (being the objective, non-irritating one that you, of course, are). Unless you punch them in the face. It's either that or find some profound inner zen that allows you to let it slide off your back. There's nothing in between. It's also very hard to let go of other peoples' stupidity because the whole idea of someone else being very stupid and annoying seems oddly appealing to us in an irritated, annoyed, but self-satisfied kind of way. People are different, and everyone's opinion counts, but beyond all that, some people really are just extremely annoying, and some of us are normal, decent human beings.

it's too late. i already anally violated you in your sleep. you should have checked my profile pics for horns and a tail before you started consorting with a possible ho-mo-sexshul. now you're doomed. have a nice weekend!

Or is Xanax the answer?

Nothing I hate worse than stupid people with an agenda.

Lately I've had to deal with people on a regular basis who have decided it's time to blur the personal and the professional, and by God, they're bound to include me in the process.

And they employ really stupid, passive-aggressive tactics like talking to each other very near me and making "random" mentions of my name, or dropping other "cues" that I'm clearly supposed to respond to.

And I really want NO part of it.

Furthermore, I'd love it if they would gladly KNOCK IT OFF before I am forced to start reading pedigrees.

Is there a gentle, compassionate, "you are of the universe and thus I love you" way of saying to someone, LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE ?

Or should I just keep on with the oblivious/silent treatment and hope they eventually get the hint?

Or should I start engaging in the conversations like they're trying to get me to do, and casually point out every single infuriatingly ignorant comment I hear?

Or is Xanax the answer?

you know, i used to date a buddhist until he pissed me off.

he had a podcast about how to deal with annoying people and about how one should learn to transcend the level of existence in which pettiness and thoughtlessness run rampant, and how to learn to create a happy lovey bubbly shield of tranquility withing your soul and blah blah blah.

yeah, that sounds great and all and i know i could translate that to taoist practice, but tell all that to my central nervous system. i think that's the one part of my body that hasn't embraced The Way.
