Comment on There Is Nothing Passive About My Aggression (Updated) by Kimberly

That is an awesome comeback though! Maybe not great for management style, but a solid 10 for comedic style. It doesn’t sound like she was not exhibiting good interpersonal skills either.

I’m not sure there’s anything all that wrong with being passive-aggressive. People always act like it is a bad thing, but there are much worse ways to deal with anger and such. I knew someone that had a previous boss throw a telephone book at them. She certainly wasn’t being passive but full on aggressive. And that’s gotta be much worse, right? So, you sulk a little bit or give someone the cold shoulder, it’s just your way of coping. We don’t all want to sit down and have a chat about our feelings over a mug of hot tea and then have a big hug afterward.

But I could just be saying that because quite often I am passive aggressive girl (yes, with the cape and everything).

I’m going to guess that’s Gracie in front demonstrating the way she will someday look on a stamp (like the Queen here in England). And blurry Penny in the background where it looks like she must just be vibrating with energy.

Lovely—and yes, I laughed.

Thank you.

basically, that was about me. I do realize when I am being angry or resentful, but I definitely don’t deal with it in a healthy way – sulking and muttering to myself are favorites. And I will cry any time I have to talk about myself at all – even if it isn’t a sensitive subject or something I’m upset about. I’ve been thinking I could use some therapy for awhile now, but that would mean i have to talk about myself, so no, that probably won’t happen.

Love the comeback!

A friend of our next door neighbor’s will routinely park on the left side of the street. In front of our house. We live at the end of a cul de sac. Is is that hard to drive 5 more feet, turn the wheel and pull up to the curb on the correct side? Apparently, it is!

The thing with the cashier drives me nuts. It happens every time without fail. And that last person in line, who’s been waiting all of 2 seconds compared to my 10 minutes, is bent out of shape because they’re in a hurry. I actually had someone say to me once: “You waited this long, you must have time. I’m in a hurry.” Nice.

Oh GOD. The ugly man feet and sandals thing is so gross! Cover those things up, men!

This morning I merged onto the freeway behind a woman who came to a screeting halt at the end of the ramp. I almost slammed into her and then I almost got killed by the Ford F350 barreling down behind us. It’s so dangerous.

This post isn’t annoying, it’s fantastic. What annoys me is people who park their cars on the left side of the street to get their mail from our nearby mailbox. I guess they think the law doesn’t apply to them? They are too important to park on the right side and have to cross the street to get their mail. ARGH.

I wouldn’t even know where to begin to answer that question; or once begun, I wouldn’t know where to stop. When you’re trying to exit a building and there are about 6 doors and everyone is trying to push in and out of one door because it happens to already be open. People standing on escalators. Bicyles on sidewalks. Cars in crosswalks. Long lines in shops and then when another cashier opens up the last person in line runs over and gets served first…

I hate crappy drivers too! And what is it about merging that is just too difficult for some people? Far too many people come to a complete stop and wait for traffic to completely clear before pulling out into the merge lane. You have your own lane for a little ways for a reason, people. Use it.

I also get annoyed with people that act like walking on the sidewalk is a contact sport. It’s not. Most sidewalks are wide enough for 2 people to pass without anyone pushing anyone. And don’t even get me started on people with strollers…

This may fall more under disgusting than annoying: men who wear sandals and have toenails that are so disgusting you want to puke. Yeah, you know the ones I’m talking about. I don’t want to write out the details because it makes me queasy just thinking about it.

I miss Jersey Mike’s. There’s nothing like that here. The closest is Subway, and well, it’s not really close at all. Is it?
