People have the nerve to tell me not to complain about my job because it's not as hard as theirs...I'm sorry you **** **** but you chose your job, you chose to have a hard labourer job and that's not my problem but really you don't need to put me down because of what my job is..so go Beep yourself!

Rant is over!

and people who brag about their money, it's like really do you really feel the need to be a douchebag? You might make a lot of money but I'm pretty sure I can knock you out in once punch so...****!




Okay not my Rant is over...

now I have the urge to play Final Fantasy 7...

So stupid. People like that are "one uppers" they'll always have a better story, or be sicker, or better at something than you are. People who brag about their money are really just insecure. Think of how low their self esteem must be that they have to be like "I have more money than you" .... really quite sad.

I work in a lab as a buyer right now while I'm going to grad school for counseling. Some of the people in the lab talk to me like I'm an idiot. It freaking pisses me off so much. I work really hard, and I'm not stupid. I understand a lot of what they talk about because I was pre-med and took the classes, I would like to see them try at counseling where you have to have social skills.

People probably think they are trying to help but when in reality all you want to hear is "yeah that sucks... I'm sorry you are going through that..."

I love the one uppers. "what's wrong?" "My mom died" "Oh well BOTH my parents are dead...." Well LA DEE FREAKING DAH! Geez how about an "I'm sorry to hear that..." lol.

I know how you feel lupos. I work in a position that I'm so overqualified for it's sad. BUT because of the economy it's hard to find work in the position I should be in. The people above me, some but not all, (in the position I want to be) treat me like I'm a second class citizen when in reality I have more education than some of them AND I've worked in the industry just as long as they have. I just look at them like they are crazy and I LOVE situations where I can explain the problem or what's going on and they can't! I think they try to undermine me because the reality is they know how good I am.

Man people suck! I know how you guys feel like a lot of people in my building make a lot of money but they have no common sense and come up to me asking the most ridiculous questions. I give them the answers they don't listen and come back to me saying it didn't work...and of course I have a snotty attitude for people like that so they get a not so sweet response back. "Well if you had of listen to me in the first place it would have been done right, now here's what I said before" and thats the end of it.

I swear that happens to me ALL.THE.TIME.

I work with a girl who constantly 'one ups' you on everything. Then she has the nerve to say she's the best employee there and should get a 'reward' when in fact, she's the biggest screw ever and has NO common sense!

Oh man those people are the worst! Seriously! I used to put people like that in their place, I don't have them around me so much.

I hate working with idiots. For the most part I work with very competent people but there are a few here and there who I look at them like and WHY are you here again?! *sigh* so frustrating.

My coworker annoyed me right now too. She was like oh why weren't you in yesterday- and I said I needed a mental health day off and she made me feel like I just need to suck it up and get over it. I was like yeah I'm fine now... but it just irked me.

While it certainly sounds frustrating, I'm interpreting it a little differently. My immediate thought was that it was similar to a smaller person complaining to a larger one about not being able to lose weight. We often don't take kindly to that, given their situation seems to be better than ours. Perhaps they were taking a complaint about your job the same way, given they interpret your situation as better than theirs?

Of course, I wasn't there, and it could be purely them trying to 1-up you in the misery department. I know a few of those, and boy are they difficult to get along with!

Edit: Thought I'd throw in an example. I was having a hard day at work last week, and my coworker thought the best way to cheer me up was to send me a slide show of sick/dying/starving children in Africa. Her thought was that we don't have it that bad, and really have no reason worry over trivial things. But honestly, it doesn't make me feel any better to now add worrying about starving children into the mix.

Wow....I'm at a loss for words.

That's also another pet peeve of mine. Yea I get it we don't have it AS bad as 3rd world countries but not to be an insensitive *** but I don't live in a 3rd world country I live in this one and times are tough and you can't compare someone's else' life to mine because what I may be able to handle other people might not and vice versa.

Oh yeah that coworker just made me mad now- at lunch today her and my other coworker were like "were you sick?" And I said well I didn't feel well yesterday, but I also think it helped me I really needed to take a day and rest, and then they lecture me on sick leave telling me I've been absent a lot and to not abuse it. I was like um the last time I took a sick day was in DECEMBER and I do not abuse sick leave. Just to double check I looked at my check from last year (final check) and I'd only taken 70 hours of sick leave the whole YEAR), that's less than 9 days AND doctor's appointments that are scheduled are listed under sick leave.

It just really frustrated me- they were like we know you are trying to find a job somewhere else but don't burn bridges- I was like where is this coming from?

I just was like well my lunch is over see you guys later.
