She'd be this horrible bitch to everyone in sight, then when someone called her on it she'd be all, "It's not my fault I'm like this, my dad died when I was a kid." I never knew if that was the truth or not, but speaking as someone who also lost their father quite young that used to make me so angry that she'd actually use that as a cop out. i never knew anyone who did that until I read this post, that annoys me, a lot of people have lost on or both of their parents, we don't use that as an excuse... true or not...sorry but she must be so sad in her own life to not try and move on and use that of all things....the nerve....ok rant over. I don't doubt that it affected her in some bad way, and we all all deal with grief differently. But that she'd actually -and she'd do this quite often -use it as an excuse for her own bad behaviour just rubbed me the wrong way. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

ernestsewell said: People who are late. "Oh traffic was horrible." Really, cuz we ALL got here in traffic, and we made it on time. It's a selfish and self-centered approach to dealing with things. What makes that person's time more valuable than mine or the time of anyone else? If you're that farkin' busy that you can't make the appointment, don't agree to come to it in the first place. We're not here to support your sense of busy-ness.
I'm late all the time. Time management is so not a skill of mine. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

A couple of years ago I was at the doctor's office and this 60 plus year old woman is in there and she starts to vent as we spoke about this and that. Her grown kids were getting on her nerves, her siblings were a pain, than she got to her man/husband. She said, I should've divorce that stupid ass motherfucker years ago.... Yeah, I called him a dumb motherfuker I can cuz he's my motherfucker. I just smiled and nodded. I wanna have a relationship like that. "He's my motherfucker." "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

PunkMistress said: NDRU said: Sometimes I think getting a placard is like getting a prescription for pot. The people I see going into the local pot club look pretty young & healthy. I'm getting so cynical as I get older! I look young and healthy, too. But I have joints similar to an arthritic senior citizen's, and severe asthma that can land me in the hospital if I simply walk more than a few hundred feet when the pollen count is high enough. You would know neither of these things by looking at me. I've had to use those stupid wheelchair thingies to get around the grocery store, and you should have seen the looks I got from people who obviously decided, based on my appearance, that I must be too young and healthy to be using the wheelchair. I wanted to die. Since then, I don't even use them when I need them. When I'm very sick with my asthma or Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Chris will urge me to use one, but I'd rather force myself to walk around than spend the entire time getting angry at people for glaring at me or whispering to their companions. Just saying. I do agree that both of the things you mentioned do get taken advantage of by reasonably healthy people, but it's like food stamps - everyone on the program gets looked at sideways because of a handful of people who abuse it. After my foot surgery I was supposed to use a wheelchair for two weeks, but I couldn't handle the looks my young, healthy-looking self was getting from so many people so after the second day I traded my chair in for crutches.

chocolate1 said: jone70 said: I also love the people that, when you return their call (usually this happens at business), answer, ask can you hold or if you can call them back in 5 minutes or at such and such time. If you are too busy to talk, then don't answer the phone! Or, conversely, if it's so important that you must speak with me, then give me your complete attention when I call you back. [Edited 5/10/10 7:56am] Or maybe you called back at a bad time. You never got a return call an thought, "Now?! I called [however much time] ago!" ?? If it's a bad time, I don't answer the phone. The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

Tell people not to be so judgmental. You do realize, of course, that saying that to someone clearly involves judgment on your part? What makes your judgment "better" than theirs? We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Not that this is any better, but I wonder if people are looking at young healthy looking people in wheelchairs and not judging them as being fit to walk but wondering what it is that has this person in a wheelchair. Again this is not a better explanation, but people tend to stare at anyone who is different. They may be playing "guess the horrible disease." My Legacy

Serious point of contention in my last relationship. I was all about even standards across the board, she was all about different standards for different people. But I mean...if it differs from person to person, can you really call it a standard? But honestly we should've probably somehow met in the middle on that. | |

But I mean...if it differs from person to person, can you really call it a standard? But honestly we should've probably somehow met in the middle on that. right, ah ok. If it differs from person to person no then it isn't a standard BUT if it is considered a standard if you believe it. make sense? depends if that is a deal breaker with u or not. can u live with the person treating others differently regardless of reason? It is something i will never get. I mean we are not in a courtroom where you judge the facts and will take into consideration ( in criminal cases sometimes) the person's backstory before ruling...that is different rules for different people, we see it all the time. But that really shouldn't happen anywhere else, i don't think. It might and thats ok. But i will have no part in it. treating others differently for whatever reason.....not my thing. | |
