You waste your energy and my time telling me how you're going to tell that guy off next time, and exactly what you're going to say to him, and how you're going to say it, and how you're going to put him in his place, et cetera, et cetera. Then, when you see him, you act the same way you always have. Well, shut up and stop wasting my time over it.

Why on earth would you give me a Sunday night deadline on a Friday morning? Bad client!

To the parents who start lining up outside the school 30 minutes early to pick up their kid, do not, I repeat, do not block the handicapped spaces. Come on, what is wrong with you? And when I bring my handicapped kid out to leave for a doctor's appointment, don't give me a dirty look because you have to MOVE your car and lose your space!!!

Aaargh! You can't make a factory that's been neglected for ten years look brand-new in a week! You should have thought of this months ago, not today!

I can't believe you tried to run me off the road. You really scared the **** out of me. I've been cut off, followed too closely, but never have I been truly tailgated and then side swiped. We were traveling at 60 mph. If I hadn't been paying attention and slammed on my brakes, you would have run me off the road and into a ditch where my car would have flipped over or gone head first into a wall of dirt and grass. I took your license plate number and called the cops. I can overlook many things, but this was over the top. I'm sure you got away with it this time, but maybe the cops will be on the lookout for you and stop you before you actually kill somebody. You are a menace to society.

Dear co-worker, please quit winking at me when you want to convey that you think we agree on something. 1) you are wrong, I still think you are clueless 2) being winked at is creepy and kind of dirty unless you are my significant other. This isn't the first time, so I know it's not a tic but a behavior that you think is effective. It's not!

For Jesus' sake, people, it is just a bald eagle! Please do not rubberneck at the bird! The traffic has been backed up for miles because of you, stupid birdwatchers! Get a binocular and take a hike in the Aboretum on a weekend, rush hour traffic on 520 is not the best place for birdwatching!

Dear (delusional) drama queen -

It's amazing that, for all your supposed professional experience as a producer, director, and actress, you can't see that the tile floor in a 40-year-old municipal building is not suitable for tap-dancing by a chorus of 10. A 8-year-old would know that you tap dance in a dance studio or on a stage, not wherever the hell you happen to find a cheap rehearsal space. And now you want to add the role of "poor, put-upon, long-suffering benefactress" to your resume. No one's buying it and you're making yourself look like a moron.

Guess how much of my job description consists of cleaning duties? NONE! Guess when my job description requires me to stay half an hour late listening to you lie about the condition of the facility, and another hour and a half to document the situation? NEVER! Lady, you have stolen at least 3 hours from me, and I deserve an apology. For the theft of my time and your rude, belittling attitude. You bet your life I left a frazzled voicemail for you, and another for your assistant - I didn't want to have to CLEAN UP AFTER YOU ALL OVER AGAIN! Our rooms are for senior citizens, many of them with pulmonary problems who require oxygen. (I mean, you get that, right? That it's a senior center and not a frickin tap academy?) I was afraid that anyone inconsiderate enough to leave a toxic mess over every single surface in the room would blithely repeat the performance, and I didn't have time to add "remove toxic mess" to the next day's chores. You want to roll your eyes about my voicemail? How about the cracked-out, rambling, barely decipherable, 20 minute long monologues I've had to listen to from you for the past 5 years?

Everyone can see that you're resentful because you think you don't get enough support. You're a talented woman and your company puts on good shows. Our membership doesn't want to see them because, although they're good, they're not Broadway-caliber, touring company-caliber, or regional theater-caliber. They're not as good as the productions done by the local university's highly regarded MT program. If they were, we wouldn't have to beg the membership to attend and then listen to your self-pitying spiel when no one wants to.

Get a clue - it's not all about you. Time for a prescription refill, maybe?

I would have cut you some slack if you had just acknowledged your mistake, but you try to bully me instead and even lie about what happened. I wish I had never hired you and I hope your business goes under. It deserves to, and you deserve it too.

YES I WANT to be SELFISH for a change!

I do NOT want to partake in any Christmas gift exchanges. Not only am I scrapping every penny to keep my kids in private school but we are also doing work for the school in exchange for tuition decrease. STOP thinking just because my kids are in private school we have $. Stop thinking writing Christmas lists after the age of 10 is normal.

It IS NOT chartiable to give the ungrateful nieces gifts & swap gift cards. Receiving a wish list of 3 things from a 50 yr old is PATHETIC -- Go out & buy your own stuff. Stop buying for my kids & stop expecting us to spend $100 per person -- I DON'T get my own kids $100 worth of stuff. This is stupid -- I want to teach my kids to give from the heart, not be forced into buying from you stupid list.

I know I'm just a volunteer, but you should really treat me "professionally," things like responding to my e-mails in a timely manner, not changing dates unannounced, etc. And because I'm a volunteer it's in your best interest to be nicer and more responsive because I can walk away at any time. In fact, this is my last year in this postition.

Yes, I am ever so upset that you have a job and hate your mother (who just so happened to help you get that job and get you a car and also is willing to give you money). My mom has done nothing to help me get a job and she can't give me a car because we happen to be poor. So stop complaining and be thankful that you have that car and that job and your mom loves you and just doesn't want you to fail at life. She's a nice woman and is very lenient so just shut the f up already! Oh and she pays for your cell phone, even when you have a job (which is an easy job and I would kill to have that job! I would love working at JCPenney's but I don't have the transportation to get there).
