Ahh, where do I start??

Women that have to project their insecurities onto other women by acting like high school girls, giggling and gossiping at WORK as soon as I leave the room, after I spent a good amount of time CONSOLING the one older lady about her guy problems.

The one lady at work - EVERY time i give her a compliment, she turns it around into a criticism of ME. Example: I like your top- that's a pretty color. Rude lady: Thank you. I have trouble finding shirts because i'm so broad shouldered. (pause) Not big chested like you. (pause) Have you considered a breast reduction? Me (trying hard not to retort "Have you considered breast implants?"): No, I have no back problems. Rude, flat chested lady: You should consider a breast reduction. She also told me, after I complimented her hair, "You really ought to consider getting a hair cut, shoulder length, or maybe even chin length." Okay, criticize the "girls", criticize my clothes even, but LEAVE MY HAIR OUT OF IT!

People that park their shopping carts in the MIDDLE of the freakin aisle then move to the side to look for what they want on the shelves. The cart is YOURS, it will not hurt you, take it over with you.

When people at work change their minds. I'm writing a report/project a specific way- at their request- by the end of the report, they have all these changes- to the ENTIRE thing! OR they email me the document, then an hour later, after changes to the entire thing, they email another attachment with changes they want me to implement BEFORE i start editing. Okay, do you think once you send the document, i spend an hour just staring at it, admiring your work? No, not when you give me a fraction of the time i'm supposed to have to review the incomprehensive mass of letters.

My DH that has to question why i bought whatever I bought. Uh, i shop clearance. I'm a clothes freak, and a beauty product freak, and shoes, purses.... but not all at once and only on clearance. So I work hard for my money, i'm not going to answer to anyone as long as the bills are paid and we have a good amount in the bank.

My one single friend that finds it necessary to correct my kid IN FRONT OF ME- right after I DID IT, then smiles at me and says, "I'm going to make a great mom." *GAG* This is also the one that even after being told i'd be super busy over the holidays working extra jobs, etc, will call the cell three times in a ROW, then my house phone- i use this phone for my extra job!!!, THEN will IM me over and over. Saying EMERGENCY. Turns out a guy didnt call her.


OH YEA, I hate when grown women go on and on to everyone about how they arent pretty, arent this or arent that. Specially the ones with young daughters. Yea, that's great. Teach your daughters that low self confidence. It gets to the point where it's obvious they want you to reply, "Oh no, you're beautiful."
Yea, everyone has insecurities occasionally. But c'mon.


Women that let men just walk all over them. Then cry in surprise when men leave. Along the same lines, I had one friend, who is desperate to get married although she is so young yet, tell me that she wishes she had someone to call in the middle of the night if she had a problem. I was confused and told her she had me and our other friends. She was like, "Yea but... I mean a guy." I told her that someday she WILL find that guy, it WILL happen but she will also realize that there is no Prince Charming and there will be times that, even though he might be great, she will need her girlfriends and not to be so quick to dismiss them. I dont understand it. I love being married, adore DH (most of the time), but when i was single, loved that, enjoyed it. Never worried if a guy was going to call or whatnot. Ask myself "does he like me?" HAAAAAAAHAAAA, NO, i asked myself, "Do I like him?" Isnt that how it's supposed to be?


When DH's buddies at work (not really buddies, of course, but ones he works with) find it necessary to comment TO him, "Wow, I didnt realize your wife has such a rack on her." Or some other wildly inappropriate comment. Fortunately, my DH is very laid back, very NOT jealous and unless it is an outright VERY nasty comment, he'll just sorta shrug it off.


Yea, it's a ranting kinda day. Sorry. But thank you for the thread. LOL, had to get it off my chest (the one I have to reduce).
