The general decency of people is on a rapid decline, have you noticed? Being a non-confrontational person in this day and age has it’s benefits – because then I’m not clumped in with the aggressive morons of the world – but it also has its pitfalls, because I don’t say a da*n thing about this stuff. People like me have delayed reactions. Ten minutes after any given event I repeat everything in my head with all of the things I *should* have said, and the results are always way better in my head than they were in reality.
Here are a few rmmmpf moments I’ve had lately:
- Dear Mister “We got an offer, but it wasn’t good enough” – It may very well be the only offer you get. And unlike you, it was sincere. I hope if you do get other offers, that they’re lower than ours and that you get a nice little taste of your foot. I also hope you get to have a little side of humble pie with that.
- Dear Miss “I’m gonna keep doing whatever I want to do because I live in a bubble and I have my own rules in here” – Go right ahead. I am enjoying seeing that whole “what goes around comes around” come to fruition.
- Dear “Some day maybe I’ll know what I did wrong” – I’ve never had an experience where I didn’t ASK if I didn’t know. Some day, maybe you’ll realize that one-way streets are pretty limiting when you’re looking to go in another direction. You have to make a turn and find a two way street eventually. You’ll never get to where you want to go. And also? You’re a grown up, you should know better, and you should be the bigger person.
There. I just had to get a few things out of my head, that is all.

Ah, Karma! You need to listen to Justin Timberlak’s What Goes Around… it’ll do you good! I’m the same way, I like to play nice. ‘Cept when I’m driving!
People are so rude today. More than one person has called back today demanding a real person not the voice mail. OMG! The Full Moon is crazy today. And, there are being so nasy about it. I like you do not like to have confrontation, but if one more guy demands something I might have to tell him to to you-know-where. I am so not in the mood to be messed with today.
Well, I finally had a thought – and I think it’s intelligent (these days I have so few… ), so I’m going to post it!
1.) Just think, it will probably depreciate in value the way things are going, and they’ll wish they had taken yours!
2.) But the “Bubble head” is so much fun to watch, and always fodder for conversation!
3.) The comment “Someday…blah, blah”, is their way of asking what they did wrong because they really don’t know, or they aren’t ready to admit it until they’re told, then they can act surprised that THAT bothered you, and apologize – that way they don’t look SO bad!
Ya think??
:squirrel:
Oh dear…as long as I’m not #2, I’ll be okay. :muted:
You go girl! Sometimes you just gotta get it off your chest! :clapping:
I’m confrontational most of the time. But for those times when I’m not, a blog is grate way to get the aftertaste of the event out of your mouth!
My favorite saying is, “Karma is a bitch.” 😉
Leanne I’m the same way, I don’t have quick come backs. But I think it’s because we don’t brace ourselves against evil 24/7 – too busy sprinkling sugar! That’s you!!!! :dance:
I’m like that, too. I wish I could think of something clever at the right moment. I’m always kicking myself later. :duh:
