What rustles your jimmies - Part II

[Nelly87]

I have a feeling some girls "feel bad" if they don't give their numbers to a dude who is being nice to them. A little female logic there, but it happens.

Which is fine, don't answer my texts, much rather that then to get played up to the date part and disregarded. The whole agree to go on a date and meet up and act all excited with smiley faces and exclamations, then cancel right before and then not respond later is what rustles my jimmies.

Must be the "female logic".

I have only ever done this to a guy who I just had a "bad feeling" about.

He texted me the day before we were meant to meet and this was roughly what happened:
Him- So tomorrow hey
Me- Yep
Him- I'm actually trying to figure out a way to cancel but I don't know how.
Me- Okay.

deleted his #, deleted his FB
Him- Why did you delete me off fb?
Me- Hmmm?
Him- I was joking when I said that.

The joke kind of killed the vibe we had going. I still agreed to meet him but called an hour earlier to cancel. (our plans weren't elaborate or anything). I couldn't shake the crappy feeling.

There's a category of people the rustles my jimmies. People with low self esteem who always seek validation from those around them. They are a bit like those kids who have to show you every single drawing they do, every trick they learn, every toy they have. Except that it's excusable when little kids do it, but adults?

Ugh this.

People who are always complaining.

People who ALWAYS NEED ADVICE because something SO TERRIBLE is always happening to them.

It's worse when you give advice and they don't even take it. They complain, you give advice, they tell you why your advice wont work (even though you know it will), they continue to complain.

Or 'one-uppers'...no matter what story you tell, they have one better ugh. Wears.me.out.

I've become slightly cynical about giving out fitness advice. When most people ask me about what I did to get in shape...unless I know they are really serious...my standard answer is "You don't really want to know and you won't want to do it." LOL

YEP.

People who have no sense of fking dignity/pride.

Two of my friends, let's call them Maggie and Lisa, work together. Maggie is fully qualilfied,and earns 2x what Lisa earns.

Lisa took a loaf of fruit bread to work. Maggie ate it all. Lisa was pissed, didn't say anything, even though that was her work breakfast for the week.

Maggie then bought Lisa a loaf to make up for it. Then Maggie got hungry, and ate that whole loaf too. In one sitting. When Lisa got mad, Maggie said "may I remind you, that loaf was mine, I paid for it".

wtfwtfwtf.

Wow, that rustled my jimmies and I wasn't even there!!

I have a colleagues that really wears me out with this crap. She's only a couple of years younger than me but has the emotional level of a 5 year old. If she has a date, she has to go to each and every office in the corridor to tell us she got a date. If she made some sculpture she makes as a hobby, she has to parade it to the whole office. If she cuts her hair, she needs to come to each office to see if we noticed she cut her hair. And of course it also goes the other way, if she breaks up, she has to seek commiseration from each one, if her cat is sick she needs to let everyone know. For the good things, it's like if she doesn't let the world know, it didn't happen. And for the bad things, she's completely incapable of dealing with them by herself. I try to be civil and pretend to listen to her drivel, but frankly I have my own crap to think about (yes, even if I don't tell HER, I do have it!) and I don't always feel like the self esteem dispenser.

Maggie is a chitty friend in every single definition of the word.

She always has "problems". ALWAYS. And is always crying/moaning/never listens to advice even though she asks for it. One of our friends asked her for advice and she was basically like "dunno don't really care". IN THOSE EXACT WORDS.

Emotional vampires!

[aristomeow]

Emotional vampires!

The worst.

The thing is, I don't hate her. I don't GET her, she's just so STRANGE. She's nice to me but I'm not close enough to harbour strong emotions for her, whether they be love or hate. She does *think* I hate her though because I'm blunt with her.

brb "should I break up with my boyfriend, I told him I needed to lose weight and he agreed with me"
brb "my boyfriend went to lunch with his ex girlfriend, as revenge for me inviting my ex to go out clubbing, then ditching my boyfriend to go to another club with my ex, should I break up with him"
brb "omg I wish I was like Sarah, she's so skinny, she's my idol!" (...me= bertstare)
brb "Aristo, you and my boyfriend would really get along" (WUT?)
brb "Aristo's friend, you're so pretty please dont make out with my boyfriend I love him".

I DONT UNDERSTAND

A couple of years ago the emotionally 5 year old colleague and I shared an office and it turned into a complete nightmare. She used to rent a room and needed to find a new accommodation. She literally had a nervous breakdown over it. A 35+ year old adult having a nervous breakdown over finding another place to live!!! She'd tell me about it and she'd be literally shaking like a leaf, and crying at least twice a day. I had no idea how to deal with that, I mean how do you deal with somebody having a mental breakdown over a perfectly normal and ordinary thing?
Then she finds a place she likes and she turns happy again. Then she comes to work one day and she is in even a worse state than before, I was honestly worried for her safety. She tells me that a "psychic" friend of hers had some reservations over this new place she had found and how now she was terrified and didn't know what to do any more. I was in a total wtf state. I then went to my manager and told her to please give my colleague some time off, or alternatively give me some time off before I killed the bitch.
Luckily we later moved to another area of the building and I got my own office. Screw that chit!

OH WTF LOL!!!

inb4 my friend becomes the same when she's 35.

That's insane. Is she single?

[Ma110W]

When people ask me the same question. Twice. In a row. Like the answer is going to magically change.

I'm only going to ask you this one more time.

[sy2502]

She's a lesbian and very lonely. Then she ended up with a completely fukked up married woman. And I had to hear all about that wonderful side of her fukked up life. I don't know why she keeps coming to me with that crap, I don't feel like I encourage her, but I guess her need to share everything is too strong.

lolol, yeah that's awesome! Like "did I stutter the first time?"

[latebloomingmom]

here is what I say to my son
"how many times should I have to say this to you?"
"one" he mumbles

"did I stutter? was I unclear in my directions? were you somehow confused when I said turn off the tv and clean your room...did you assume I meant later on when you felt like it?"
"uhhhh I am moving mom"

[Botika]

Then Maggie got hungry, and ate that whole loaf too. In one sitting.

Who the heck eats a whole loaf of bread in one sitting!!!???

[latebloomingmom]

carboholics..they are the ones that always eat the last donut too

[Musc1eBound]

When someone keeps saying something over and over like "Oh man, I'm so tired today" only waiting for you to go "Oh, why are you so tired?" so they can tell their crappy story lol. I always never reply and let them repeat themselves, of course, some one else always falls for it.

[aristomeow]

lbm is right. Carboholics. but it was freakin raisin toast! that stuff is way too sweet to eat so much of.

[Fawnl]

My jimmies are rustled. But not in the angry way. In the grossed out, back away in horror kind of way. I decided this afternoon to rip out the carpets upstairs in the house we just bought. I started in my 3 yr old's room because they smelled SO bad. Like a person who never bathes (I don't think this kid did. I seriously cannot get the grease stains off the walls where his bed was... and the boogers.. oh the boogers...). Anyway, I grab the tools I need, empty the room and start in the closet.

Guess what was under the carpet?



















Mealworms. MEALWORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!! FREAKING OUT!!!!!

They were in his BEDROOM! And in the hallway closet!!! And... mealworms go into food Like, flour, and cereal...

So, I ripped ALL the carpet up on the entire top floor and we will live on bare plywood until we can afford something else. Then I put diatomaceous earth along every crack and crevice. I can handle a lot of gross... But bugs that make homes in my food or live under my kids... So grossed out. My own Halloween horror!

[aristomeow]

^^SO GROSS!!! this is why I can't understand people who have indoor pets. I just can't. UGH

[yummycow]

It's the ones that won't take the last donut that get my jimmies.

They open the box, they look, they want it, they break it in half and leave one half like someone else if going to come along look at the finger marks left in the half a donut and actually want to eat that crap.

This has happened to me, too.

Guy I crushed on for years finally f*cking caught on (were friends during that time). After some talking, he asked me out. He lived a little distance away, so we would have needed half a day for our date if you included the travel. We talk excitedly about our date, and then no word 2 days leading up to the date. The night before really late, I get a text saying he can't make it with some excuse. Needless to say, I was a little heartbroken LOL. And pissed as heck.

Anyway, I didn't talk to him for a month and finally did pretending like nothing happened. No initiation from him, either, b/c he knew he did wrong. He told me he'd make it up to me - he ended up asking me out again a few months later and I said no. Felt good, and that was my plan.

He asked me out once more after that, but that boat has sailed.
