Title: YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?
Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on March 26, 2012, 09:49:25 PM
GET IN THE BACK OF THE FUCKING LINE.

There seems to be something about being more or less competent that makes everybody WANT. Listen, motherfuckers; the fact that I am able, just barely, to take care of my own problems and responsibilities DOES NOT IN ANY WAY indicate that it's a good idea to ask me to take care of YOURS.

The fact that I'm on food stamps is in no way an indicator THAT I CAN AFFORD TO FEED YOU. It is an indication that I can barely afford to feed myself and my kids, OH FUCKING KAY? The fact that I get a financial aid disbursement at the beginning of the term, likewise, is not an indication that I'm high on the hog and can afford to lend you money. On the contrary, ASSFUCKHOLEFACE, it's an indication that I am willing to go into debt while living on a shoestring in order to get an education that will eventually allow me to buy things like, oh I don't know, shoes for my children. Or maybe even pay for their educations so they never have to go through this bullshit.

No, I will not take time off work to go with you so you can use my barely-liquid status to justify not paying your vet bill. You know what? GET A FUCKING JOB. You seem to have all day long to interrupt MY work to complain about how broke you are, so that suggests that you maybe have the free time to go work a cashbox at the farmer's market or some of the other menial shit you've turned down because you decided you were too good for it. Can't get a job? My condolences. Go do what millions of us already have done, and humble yourself enough to apply for unemployment or food stamps, or stand in line for a food box. Trust me, it will be less humiliating than looking back on your life and remembering that time you tried to leech off of a full-time-student-single-mom trying to support her kids on financial aid and beads.

Lastly, WHAT THE FUCK. ARE YOU EVEN FUCKING SERIOUS? For those of us with responsibilities such as a house and kids, the whole world does not stop because it's Spring Break. So no, I can't drive to Canada with you, no, I won't take the day off and go hiking, no, I am not free to teach you how to make bread, no, I won't sew a fucking couch cover for you, you can stick your pants that need hemming ALL THE WAY UP YOUR RECTUM UNTIL YOU CAN TASTE THEM, and by the way, you are a total fucking asshole for asking.

Thanks.

And you haven't actually beaten them up, yet?

YET.

Yes. All of those things have happened, as well as "Want to meet us at the park?" in the middle of a Monday afternoon, and "If you're not doing anything today we should take the dogs to the river" on a Thursday. I have NO IDEA what people are thinking. Like all of a sudden, all my responsibilities have maybe just sort of vanished?

My favorite is when someone actually asked me to go with her to the low-income vet clinic so she could get free care for her dog, because she "just got her financial aid but it has to last the whole term". :lulz:

I politely suggested that she call the neighborhood clinic and find out how much an office visit would cost, because I was planning on using my time working, and if I spend two hours at the vet with her that will cost me $240 in lost productivity, so it would probably cost her less to go to the regular vet and just pay for the office visit.

They are the assholes who have, for several years, purported to be my friends.

I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but it's starting to dawn on me that they are not, in fact, very good friends.

I once nearly managed to get my own father to punch me through persistent use of that phrase.  Before we'd even started the car, on a 12 hour drive down from Scotland.

Also, I've disowned a lot of my so-called friends lately, so I can sympathise.  People who only talk to me when they want something = cut off.

No, it seems that they don't have a lot of respect for your time.  Or your money, for that matter.

Some of them may just being having a thoughtless moment, but I'd still lower the fucking boom on them.  Pitch a fucking wobbler the next time they bother you during the workday.  They'll either straighten up or they won't.

You know, I've recently started to not be so nice about things. My therapist calls it "enforcing boundaries".  :lulz:

There are a few people who don't talk to me so much, anymore.

And another one:  People who want you to help them move...But then make themselves scarce when they hear YOU'RE moving soon.

Lastly, I remember once upon a time, getting a PM from Lauren that said something like "Can you maybe post your sermons each week and then leave?"  That was a classic.

Lastly, I remember once upon a time, getting a PM from Lauren that said something like "Can you maybe post your sermons each week and then leave?"  That was a classic.

I had a lot of angry texts last week.  Apparently I'm a complete bastard for wanting back some books I lent 14 months ago, and asked for multiple times, and was flat out ignored all of those times. I had a "bad tone" which "didn't merit a response".  Apparently helping someone through the majority of their degree, despite being desperately broke, looking for work all day, being chased by welfare officers, having bailiffs looking for me etc doesn't really count for anything, not even a "thank you" after graduation, and certainly not anything like answering my phone calls or bothering to talk to me more than once every three months.  And asking politely, several dozen times, for my expensive textbooks to be returned, several months after they could be of any use?  What a monster.

As for the friend who vanishes for weeks at a time, then only reappears when she needs a place to crash, or wants me to sort out her fucking atrocious, over-examined, train-wreck of a social life, or wants help on a paper for the degree it's taking her twice the normal time to complete...well, she's been told to suck it up as well.

I forgot one of the most important of the 48 Rules of Power.  Surrounding myself with these kind of people is just leading to unnecessary stomach ulcers and wasted time.  And lost books, apparently, which I'm still pissed about.  I might have to throw a smoke grenade through her window when I'm next in the area.

Cain, I have a friend to whom I lent a couple of CDs, including a very hard to replace Hawaiian CD that I loved, and a rather expensive space heater. Eventually, after being stalled on the return of these items for YEARS on the premise that she was "still using them", I realized that not only was I not going to give them back, but that she never had any intention of returning them.

The last time she asked me if she could borrow something, I told her that she could, as soon as she returned the other things she had borrowed. I almost never hear from her anymore... although, amazingly, a couple of weeks ago she asked me what I thought of her entering a "financially beneficial" relationship with an older man. I told her exactly what I think, and she never responded.  :roll:

In addition to throwing a wobbler, start asking them for things every time you talk to them.  Only talk to them if you want something, or ask them to do stuff when you know they've got important things to do that must be done.  Turn it back on them.  They probably won't realize the irony, but it'll be funny.

I ended up telling that friend to "keep the damn books, but delete this number".  I've bought newer replacements, some of which have arrived today.  I can afford it, but it's the principle, of the thing, of course.  The books are really just the tip of the iceberg, which is the way I've been essentially discarded from her social circle since she's graduated and no longer needs to message me at 11pm, panicked and near-crying about a due paper.  I'm no longer useful, so why talk to me?

That's what stings.  That and the presumption of a friendship which never existed.

Sometimes you just have to TAKE it back. And if they won't answer the door, I've had friends they WOULD let in bring me over. Then I'd hang out until they stop being uncomfortable and it gets boring and say, "Well, see ya later. I'm taking my cd/book/bike."

There's something about people who want to have a certain lifestyle so badly they just don't want to accept that they need to change their behavior. "Oh my life is wonderful! I'm so happy. I do THIS and I do THAT and it fulfills me." Yet these people often ignore the very real things that are required for an adult to stand on their own two feet. What's hilarious about this is that I used to be one of these people. Now I'm just tired because I must do it all. Do me a favor and make my life easier and better and I will do the same. Yeah? No? OK. Let's just drop everything and party. Sorry. Yeah. Uh-huh.

I guard my time ruthlessly with people IRL. I had a guy come over when I should have been doing homework and repeatedly ask me a question then ignore the answer in favor giving homage to his phone. "I had a great time." I didn't fuck off forever AND GIVE ME $20 ASSFACE FOR MY TIME FUCK YOU.

Yeah.

I only have two ways that I deal with people who say they're my friend but only ever ask me for things or don't talk to me unless it's convenient for them.

1.) Never talk to them ever again. If they get pissy about it then I tell them to fuck off and go bother someone else.

2.) I curse like a sailor and just act like a pompous dick until they leave or have a hissy fit. It's actually pretty funny when they throw tantrums.

:lulz: The yeast is already in it, as this is the second day she has pestered me about this.

Basically, I made bread a couple of weeks ago, and she said "OOH next time I'll watch you so I know how to do it!"

Then that morphed to "Can you walk me through making bread this weekend?"

But then she didn't do it this weekend, and decided that in between tests while I was trying to scarf down some lunch yesterday was the right time to corner me and demand my time. Which I was none too pleased about, but told her how to start a basic sponge. I wasn't really expecting her to launch out of bed and demand further tutoring first thing in the morning.

Part of the problem here is that she wants me to give her detailed instructions, which don't exist because I just wing it. But she can't comprehend "winging it", so she's always "BUT HOW MUCH, EXACTLY?"

If she wants a recipe, she should follow a recipe. If she wants to make bread the way I make bread, she needs to learn to fucking wing it.

She thinks I'm magic because I can make bread without a recipe by winging it.

She thinks that if I tell her exactly how I do it, the magic will be conferred upon her, too.

He looks like someone who would be very pleasant and fun to hang out with, which very much belies his gruff and anti-social persona (which I do not actually believe for a minute, FYI, even if I occasionally get annoyed at it. I strongly suspect him of being secretly a sweetheart).

This kinda surprised me and I think it's worth mentioning here because I am (I think) pleasant and fun to hang out with but only if you're one of the few who reciprocates that ethos. Needy, whiny, annoying dickheads on the other hand probably come away with a slightly different impression of me. I enjoy seeing their dumb little smiley faces crumple into shock and pain almost as much as I enjoy kicking back with the cool kids and having a laugh.

All men are not equal and some of them deserve to be hurt. The quicker I can work out which is which and act accordingly, the more straightforward my life seems to get.

Admin/clerical side mainly. Medical transcription for many years, and some light hands on vet-tech (chemo and sx) duties secondary to admin asst stint at Veterinary teaching hospital.

My skill-set's all over the place. I have a half-assed coding portfolio that CSU was kind enough to let me claim authorship of, even though I don't "own" any of my programs. The med transcription, insurance risk assessment, retail management, sales, CIS, Shipping/receiving, stage management (not IATSE yet, but eligible), acting, Drywall, vacuum/sewing repair, and I have absolutely no problem putting in 40+ scrubbing toilets...anything outside of those areas I'd prolly have to fake, though.

Admin/clerical side mainly. Medical transcription for many years, and some light hands on vet-tech (chemo and sx) duties secondary to admin asst stint at Veterinary teaching hospital.

My skill-set's all over the place. I have a half-assed coding portfolio that CSU was kind enough to let me claim authorship of, even though I don't "own" any of my programs. The med transcription, insurance risk assessment, retail management, sales, CIS, Shipping/receiving, stage management (not IATSE yet, but eligible), acting, Drywall, vacuum/sewing repair, and I have absolutely no problem putting in 40+ scrubbing toilets...anything outside of those areas I'd prolly have to fake, though.

Do you have a degree, and can you work with cadavers?

Who are these wankers? Can I beat them with a shovel?

They are the assholes who have, for several years, purported to be my friends.

I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but it's starting to dawn on me that they are not, in fact, very good friends.

A BIT SLOW ON THE UPTAKE. THAT MEANS I NEED TO PAY SOMEONE THIRTY BUCKS TO REPLACE MY WASHER FLUID, RITE?

In other words: I feel ya.

You, sir, are an America-hating commie and should be deported back to Belgrade.

I much prefer to poop on the lawns of my enemies and stick in a lover-ly cocktail umbrella and a krazy-straw...you know, that shit is killer on your teeth if you're not careful.

No degree. Certificates not remotely related.

...and I could definitely work with cadavers.

Day labor's hopping out here in Go-Beaversburg so things are a lot more cushiony at the moment. Got signed on with worksource and I'm shopping like a mutha to get into Eugene or PDX, though (fingers crossed for the north...I've already done a few decades in a college town. My debt to society has been paid, and then some).

Hmmm. Depending on what your resume looks like, I might suggest that you apply. But you should be aware that when I say "work with cadavers" I mean "make medically precise examinations and tissue extractions".

Actually I really really like her, she's an awesome person, despite how these most unflattering vignettes must make her sound. I just don't like living with people who haven't, in one way or another, been inside  my body.

There's probably an interesting essay or kinky poem to be written based on that observation.

I think that it may be mostly an observation on my own personality defects, as the reason that I can tolerate those who have either visited or originated within my interior is that I, on some level, own them.

That sounds awful. But it's true.

I think she meant that you should swallow housemate whole and then regurgitate her. Seems much more sensible to me.
