you - thank you for the many rides home, being a sounding board, and maybe even the first actual friend i've had in years...

you - leave me alone, i am not interested and stop being such a narcissist it's unattractive. You wonder why people don't like you - it's because they never get to talk to you about anything but YOU! And as fascinating as you think you are - you're not THAT great. ugh.

you--you bore me. I have my own problems that I'm SURE are just as boring to you as yours are to me.....The difference--I don't TELL you about mine all the freakin' time.

You - I can't believe after years of telling the boys on the team, that they were lazy, useless and ruining your reputation, you get busted for stealing THEIR money out of the locker room. Now who is useless????

You - Please don't be a greedy, selfish brat tonight. I'm fully expecting you to tell us that you couldn't afford to buy us Christmas presents after telling me yesterday that you spent $580 on your on-off boyfriend. I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but its hard considering your past!

You! Thank you for separately wrapping all 12 of my little presents for me. I know you hate wrapping and you think my adoration of Christmas is childish. I appreciate the fact that you play along and don't just put all the presents one box for me to open. You're wonderful~I'll pay you back for it tonight!

YOU - a 5lb frikkin box of ho-hum choccies thanks... At least the littlies at kickboxing will have a good feast! GAH!

YOU - don't eat them! Don't eat them! Think of all the good work you've done!

YOU - I hope you're impressed tomorrow

You--if you were my niece I'd tell you how I really feel about what you're doing with your life. As it is, I just listen to you and shake my head and think how, even though you'll be 18 in March, you still have SO MUCH growing up to do before you'll even be close to being a "woman."

you - how dare you even think of calling and asking me to help you clean your house for christmas?! if you can't handle it, then don't have people come to your house. Everyone finds it miserable anyway, your dog stinks and you are a filthy slob and everyone can't wait to leave when they are there. I'm sure you've already trashed your new place in a manner of months, and that you would think that I'd want to spend EXTRA time there, doing YOUR chores is outrageous and makes me think that you really do live in your own little world. Get a clue and stop wasting my time.

*whew* if only i could really say those things.

You...how did you make me feel like such a bad housekeeper all these years and now you are in MY home leaving disgusting used kleenex lying around?

you - i am so angry i could scream. if you are going to accept packages for the entire apartment complex when people are not home and then close your office 6 hours early on the Friday before Christmas, and then close entirely on Saturday so that nobody can get their holiday packages, you should notify people! Thanks to you our package from Honey Baked Ham marked PERISHABLE with our Christmas Turkey in it - is sitting in your office rotting. I hope it smells so bad in your office on Tuesday morning that you puke. And you will be paying us the $55.00 it cost. You will not be accepting any more of our packages, even if it means we have to go down to FedEx, UPS and USPS ourselves to retrieve them. Oh! And thank you for telling us that while a lot of other people called with similar complaints you will not be sending anybody out because if you do it for one person, you have to do it for all of them. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!

UGH!

but seriously, what kind of apartment complex does this?! Grrrr.

Gee Lizziness, that really sucks....sorry that it's happened.

you care about your possesions more than you care about the people you claim to love...I for one have reached my limit and I hope you will be happy when your possessions are all that you have...

Lizziness, were you able to get them to reimburse you for your turkey? That's so lame.

You - I can't understand how you've made it so far professionally when you have terrible eye contact.

You - my son, your "step-great-grandson", is an awesome kid and I'm sorry you don't see that. You could benefit greatly from his kindness, but you're too self-absorbed to acknowledge any teenagers but your "real grandchildren". If I didn't respect my father and his wife as much as I do, I would have told you off in your own home on Christmas day and walked out. And it would have felt GREAT.

You - learn to say "thank you" for Christmas gifts. You're 40 years old. It's time.

You - stop being so darned negative about everything in life. Stuff happens! 10% of life is what happens, the rest is how you handle it. I am finding it very difficult to remain your friend and listen to you gripe. Something has to happen in the New Year or you'll be on my Toxic Person List!

Ruth--I think we have the same friend!!
