It makes me wonder how they can claim to love you and on the other hand say such awful things. If this is some of their thoughts about you, why would they love something they have such a low opinion of? If they think so low of you, why are they with you? I know I love him so much I am willing to overlook the fact that he thinks so much less of me. I know I think so highly of him I dont expect them to be equal.

I guess it doesnt help when your so called partner in life lies directly to your face and is the one that is doing the majority of the trash talking about you. It truly makes me just want to burst into tears. I cant tell you how many times I have contemplated the thoughts of suicide, just because of this. I wonder how someone can claim to love you and yet.... Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:20:23 GMT wabbits11 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1528752.aspx I just recently responded to a discussion talking about Pet Peeves, and this made me start this discussion. For me, one of my biggest pet peeves are people who are always complaining about everything, and acting like the world owes them a living but never really trying to do anything about it themselves. These are the ones who you always see trying to Scam the system also in one way or another, and then when something does not happen the way they want it, they act like "WHY?" and life is not fair. I work with someone who is definately one of the worst I have ever seen for this, and we call her a Drama Queen at work, and there is times I would Love to tell her the reason her life is like it is, is because she is never trying to better it, and expects everything handed to her. She just turned 45, and acts like everything should be handed to her, and life is not fair if she has to struggle. She is married and her husband, or so she says cannot work and is having some major medical issues. But the thing that gets me, is she is the first one always complaining about she cannot make ends meet, and gets FREE food from everywhere, and always expecting hand outs. She will say she has no $$ for food, and then spend at least $20-30 on her animals for food, etc. She is always begging us at work for Food, and such as well. Also she claims Exempt on her Taxes at work, and said she was able to claim the Earned Income Credit on her taxes this last yr. but then did not owe anything from claiming exempt? If she makes too much $$ for Welfare to give much to her husband for being Disabled, how can she not have to pay taxes? She even made a complaint about not getting a stimulus check, and I could not feel Sorry for her, as I feel why should I as I don't feel it is fair paying her taxes when she is working. Yes, I can honestly admit there was a time in my life where I might have not been the best person I could be, but she absolutely drives me nuts, and sometimes I want to scream or tell her, the reason you have nothing is because you are only using everyone, and doing nothing for yourself so how to do expect to get much more? It would Bug me even more if we had a better paying job. But when she complains about income, etc. I just do not feel Sorry for her. There are better jobs out there, and if it was me, I would want to be doing more for myself. So how do you deal with people like this, and can you keep quiet, or do you tell people how you feel in cases like this hoping somehow something you say could make a difference? I wonder how many of us know people like this as well? Fri, 23 May 2008 22:08:55 GMT KrauseHome http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1933249.aspx "Hey, you forgot to turn off the tap again." [i]As if you have always remembered yourself...[/i] "The heater, dude! Off the heater after you shower!" [i]As if you have never forgotten...[/i] "You did not do what I asked you to do again!" [i]As if you always jumped to do my things...[/i] Let's think back. Have you ever yelled at someone or blamed him because he forgot one thing or another? Maybe you told him to wipe his shoes on the carpet before coming in. Maybe you told him to bring his dishes to the basin even if he is not going to wash them. Maybe you reminded her 10,001 times to screw the tap tight after use. Do you tend to make mountains out of molehills? The above may be relatively trivial on their own but they are often the start or trigger to a full-blown quarrel. It only takes a spark to get the fire going. Give an argument life and soon both of you will stomp off in anger. So, do you or do you not? Do you snap at others' little slips? Do you try to put aside the negative emotions instead? What say you? [em]whistle[/em] Sat, 07 Mar 2009 08:58:58 GMT lordwarwizard http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2138367.aspx Screw you. Yeah, you heard me screw you. This is a rant in itself. I've come across numerous discussions from fellow MyLotters that this isn't a place to have a raging rant, to post things that are aggravating us in our private lives, that disturb us, troubling us or make us lose sleep at night. Well why the frick NOT???? What many folks don't realize, yes, we could probably seek the aid of a therapist to rant and rave, but therapists are so impartial, so NOT understanding, not like friends who may have been in the same exact situation. I WAS in therapy and my therapist was anything than illuminating or really concerned and would give clinical rehearsed responses to whatever was troubling me...I ditch the putz...I've gotten so MUCH more input from my friends here than years and years of expensive therapy from caring, concerned friends of mine and I'm sure many of my friends who rant and rave here feel the same way. Also, for some of us, ranting here is our ONLY resource where even our "real" life friends in our lives can't understand without judgment. Many of us are homebound or semi-homebound and don't really interact with the outside world much, some of us are disabled and can't interact with the outside world at all ......so MyLot may be the ONLY place we CAN rant, rave, scream and just let off steam in what's going on in our lives. So for those of you who think MyLot is not the place to rant and rave, once again.....I say......screw you. All I can say is that one day something may be troubling your mind and you want to let off steam and rant.....where are YOU going to turn to? I have found MyLot to be one of the best therapy places around.......and heck it's free. So what are your thoughts for people who condemn us MyLotters who choose to rant, rave, scream and share one's troubling feelings? Yes or No..????? I definitely think .....YES!!!!!

Went to the office, finished the things i have to do, but with a lot of spills and mistakes while doing it. Was thirty minutes later than my estimated time for completion. Went to field work, bought materials needed, good thing i have money with me because i was not given a petty cash. However, i have to wait around 10 minutes for my change because they do not have enough change for the money i paid. Then, off to my field work, and after getting stressed out, not to mention being under the heat of the sun and almost doing the job itself, the person i was with kept on being complacent and acting as if the whole work is supposed to be done the entire day. Just a brief background, we were suppose to "do" 4 names. It's a bit hard to explain in detail but it usually takes 15-20 names in just 2 hours. So imagine my plight for having done only 3 names in over 4 hours already. Not to mention the other one which i just left for that person to do because i cannot stay anymore. I have many pending works at my desk, and as i was driving to the office, one of the suppliers called and was asking for the the payment already. You see, we have a new account with this supplier and i am handling it personally, and i do not want to impart the idea/feeling that we delay our payments or is not concern about our agreements/promises. Then i had my lunch at 3pm. So hungry that i cannot think straight anymore without thinking about food. So i decided to eat - fish, shrimp and rice. I have three containers, one for the rice, one for the fish and another for the shrimp. Half-way through the meal, while typing something in my laptop, because i was working while eating (so much time wasted, should have been finished latest at 12nn on my field work), i accidentally hit my container for the rice and if fell on my lap - meaning rice was all over my lap and have to put it back in using my shirt. But there are still a lot of rice left, so got a newspaper and scraped it all there. But i am still hungry, so after a while, i hit my sauce container and the sauce landed on the carpeted floor and on my left arm sleeve. the smell! After office hours, there i was supposed to meet a client at 6pm, but have to extend my patience for an hour an a half just to be able to meet up with this person. After the meeting, while driving back home, an inconsiderate, undisciplined, and insensitive bus driver was in front of me. imagine, only two lanes are allowed in that portion of the road. One is already allotted for the public vehicles while the other one (outer for the private vehicles). He, being in the private lane was already bad enough, imagine while driving the uneducated driver suddenly turned right and occupied two lanes, so meaning none of the cars from both lanes can pass through. But what's bad enough was that he stayed there for around 2 minutes despite me and other cars honking horns with him, and as i was able to pass i looked at the driver (i drive with my windows rolled out) the guy was smiling back. no more words to say. This is not my day. Fri, 16 Oct 2009 20:53:54 GMT aylim14 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1831510.aspx Okay folks...this is a rant as I'm so pissed off. Being on disability benefits can really suck. I try to supplement my benefits by writing for various websites just for living expenses...uh..like bills. [em]surrender[/em] Now some of my friends might remember I had started a discussion some time ago asking advice about a good DVD/VCR combo...At that time I had come into a little extra money and had the means to buy one and wanted to get a good one, but unfortunately since it wasn't a real exorbitant amount of money I had gotten I had to keep dipping into it just to pay extra bills...so I had to nix my plans. My VCR while the video is perfect...there's no sound..I've done everything hoping to fix it ...but nada..so can't view my hundreds of video tapes. My DVD player I've had for years I knew was pooping out on me..reason I had started that discussion to ask people advice for a good DVD player. Now you have to realize I don't watch much TV to begin with...without cable, TV is kind of lame.....so I relied on watching movies from time to time as I just don't have much time to watch "entertainment" as I'm too busy working my friggin butt off writing, writing, writing for websites to earn that extra money...but hey, I'm human and on and off I like to pop in one of my DVD movies and watch...and yes can play my movies on my computer but I don't want to wear that out...that's all I need to have my computer poop out as that would be a real major expense to get fix and wouldn't have the means to do so...so forget playing my DVDs on my computer. So anyway...Last night I was in one of those restless moods...spent a long day doing outside errands, then still decorating my place on a Christmas theme...pounded out some reviews for other websites (SharedReviews), did a blog entry at Today.com, did a review at Ciao..on and on...so now being restless wanted to settle back and watch one of my DVD movies....one problem..........IT'S NOT WORKING.[em]angry[/em] When I popped in one movie the DVD player couldn't "read" it...okay..so grabbed another movie..same thing...popped in another....nada..Bottom line ...My DVD player has died on me...waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh[em]cry[/em] I can't watch crap now.... Like I said I rarely "allow" myself "FUN"..I'm too busy working my friggin butt off, so like crap is it too much to ask that on occasion I want to settle back and watch one of my movies...but now I can't...this REALLY sucks. Okay maybe you're laughing...this isn't a life threatening issue...the world isn't going to blow up, no one has died, mayhem hasn't occurred...but I deny so much FUN in my life just to work my butt off....for peanuts in writing work...I'm so pissed off it's not funny...I want to watch my movies....waaaaahhhhhhhhh..and now I can't. There's no friggin way I can get a new DVD/VCR player unless I have some unknown relative that croaks and leaves me money. Yeah, right, sure. Okay..now it's your turn to rant...What's bugging you? What are you fed up with? Rant....rant.....rant to your heart's content...I'm all ears...let's be miserable together Sat, 13 Dec 2008 06:13:02 GMT pyewacket http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/623708.aspx Have seen rants about their mothers-in-law here. I have my own stories to share too. My mother-in-law is dictating how we should live our lives. she wants to be the one to decide things for us. After my hubby and I got married, I told my hubby that we have to have our own place. He said that we will be working on it over the years, but since we're just starting out, his mom would want to help us first by letting us stay at her place first. To make a long story short, this is how my mil is to us. She blames us all the time for the high electricity and water bills, she notices and asks why I always buy my kids clothes when they can just reuse their old clothes even if they're worn out already, she asks every purchase i make (so what, i'm using my money, not hers!) she discourages my husband that he can't run their business when in fact he hasn't even been given a chance to prove himself, I get blamed for househelpers leaving us, she insists that I start giving my 2 year old daughter soda during meals, she wants us to stay FOREVER with her in her house but can't live each day appreciating the things we do which makes it look like she's pushing us to move out, she wouldn't give my hubby's inheritance tax from his dad, she takes out her miseries from work on us, she blames us for things even if it's clear to everyone that it's her fault, she's always correct even if she's not and you can't even correct her, she cries when she asks "am i a bad mother" when in fact it's clear that her son and daughter would most likely say "yes", she loves money more than her family, she keeps blaming her husband for things until now even if he has passed away already, she's ok one minute and then she's fuming the next without reason, she keeps bad mouthing her friends to us but never stops seeing them, she likes meeting new people then telling us that she only makes friends with them to get business from them (how irritating is that?), she notices why I take a bath at night, she judges me the wrong way and sees me as the bad person, when she finds out we earned a bit of money, you'll wake up the next day with a list of debts (even if she originally offered to pay for stuff for us) taped on our bedroom door, she doesn't allow my husband's friends over and if they do come over, she asks my husband to charge them for electricity bills, she doesn't allow my husband to drink despite the fact that he's 33 years old already, she hates the fact that i smoke cigs and deep inside wants me to stop when in fact my own parents let me be, she wants to "own" my kids but can't even take care of them for an hour, she keeps telling us she's always thinking for us in the house when in fact when we help her think or help her make decisions, we're always wrong, hubby and i try to put up a business, it hasn't even started yet, she's saying we will be unsuccessful, etc, etc, etc.. Need I say more? Help! We cant move out yet coz she won't even give my husband his inheritance and what we have is so little to be able to start somewhere. Thu, 18 Jan 2007 12:40:08 GMT yamiboo http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2110408.aspx Many of you know about the hard times my family has been going threw. I know many out there are struggling too. Well I have given up. Yet again my husband gets a check and they take over half for child support and insurance,an insurance that I am not even covered on because his company made a mistake. We don't even have enough money to pay bills. My utility is still not paid and I can get no where with the state for help,not even a denial so I can go elsewhere. I call around to get some teeth pulled because I have been sick and in pain and they tell me oh your dental(different company so I DO have that) only pays half so you will have to pay $538 for relief and to not die from the infection! My daughter had yet another seizure 3 nights ago and it was 14 minutes long,so my Fear and anxiety is even higher than normal. I have no one to help me and I don't want to unload everything on my husband because he feels defeated too. He works his butt off and we have nothing but bills,unpaid loans to friends the ones that would help,and sadness. He tries really hard and so do I and we still get no where. I have prayed til I couldn't breathe,I have tried quoting things over and over and still nothing. I just give up.........Why why why......
