Questioning Validation
On friday, our boss (president of company) let us go at 2:30. I was flying out that evening anyway - so I asked my coworker if she minded me working through the lunch hour and leaving at 1:30. Our superviser was not in the office. I have done this before, though, without issue. My superviser has never cared, as long as we put in our day's work. My coworker did not mind the hour switching, so I worked 8-1:30, and left.

The office manager noticed my absence, and apparently threw a tantrum in the hallway, loudly bitching about how unfair it was for me to leave early like that, no one else got to do it, if my boss didn't know about it then she was going to tell him, blah blah blah.

When I got back from my trip, we now have a new policy that we should not be expected to be paid if we work over the lunch break (the office is closed for lunch), and any leaving early must be approved in writing in advance.

This is the stupidest, pettiest crap, to me. Part of me wants to ask what the hell is up the office manager's ass, since she's not my supervisor and not in charge of schedules, and it is not a regular occurance. But I know that really she's just mad because she wanted to leave that early, too, but didn't ask. I'm trying to be the bigger person, but it really chaps my hide to get in "trouble" (my supervisor thinks it's all stupid, but is rolling with it - I'm not actually in trouble) for working the same number of hours as the rest of the office, just without a break.
My outlet is bitching about it on the internet, I guess.

That is so gay. I really do hate people sometimes. I told a PhD today he was giving legal advice and he was out of line. (His PhD is in counseling). I bet he calls my boss, who was out of the office today. Stay tuned.

Office politics totally baffle me.
Sometimes, not all the times, and only when I'm not thinking about it, I can still lip read. If I try, I can't.
So, a few times, when I've worked a real job, I look up and 'hear' what people are saying from across the room. Then, they'll come up to me, and tell me something totally different, in person.
I never know how to react. It's like eavesdropping. I know something I'm not supposed to know...., but what to do with it?

Perfect example today, of why I really detest people.

So I'm going to get wine (I was looking forward to it all week), and I drive 1 hour after work just to get to the store near home (I normally drive 20min on the weeks I don't have my son).... and the parking lot is full. I circle and right away I catch out the corner of my eye, a lady getting IN her car. So I stop and realize that taking this spot is going to require that I back-up a bit--so I do. But this isn't easy because it is winter and -30odd below and there are cars pulling in behind me. I put on my signal and wait patiently and the brake lights are coming on the vehicle which is now begining to back out of the spot. Then, another car begins to turn down the isle in the opposite direction of me, and it will have to stop to let the the car through which is backing up. I see it's an older woman (maybe 60s) in the car facing me, and I see her get excited with the thought that she's found a space, but then I see her look right at me--we made eye contact. She quickly turns off her blinker and slightly edges forward realizing she is going to have to find another space--and then she stops and puts on her blinker again. Holy fuck. I'm thinking, ".. this lady must be confused..." The car which is now fully backing out, turns tail toward me to do so, and the lady in the car facing me takes the spot. :huh: I pulled up and blocked her in so she'd have to talk to me to leave, and I rolled down the passenger window and waited. She comes up to me and I say in a surprisingly calm voice, "Did you not see me waiting here?" The woman proceeds to tell me that "she was there first", so I say "nooo, I backed up for this woman to get out, and I saw you turn the corner, make eye contact with me, and then deliberately put your blinker on and take the spot. She tells me "I've been circling this parking lot 4 times, this is my spot". :blink: I then tell her "I don't give a shit, I was waiting here first and you saw me." She says "I didn't see you. You're a liar". Holy fuck. I looked at her and gave her my nasty look (koril knows the one), and I pointed in her face and said "You're ignorant." And she was all, "no I'm not.... <blather,blather,someothershit>. I started rolling up my window and waving at her with a huge smile while saying "Bye, bye ignorant lady." My son was in the backseat sleeping and he had just woken up at the end.

After I finally circle the lot a few times and find a space, I go into the store and there is a long line-up, and the lady from the parking lot is nearing the front. So I grabbed the wine and took my son in hand, and then I waited until she was just next in line, and I walked right straight in front of her :D. I acted completely oblivious to her presence and so did everyone else in line and the cashier, because not one person bat an eye at what I did. She didn't say a word and when I took a few extra seconds to get my bag to wait for her to start her transaction, she wouldn't even look my way.

Typing it out now made me realize just how not a big deal it is ultimately, but fuck I hate people.

Quite frankly, I'm surprised she wasn't reduced to a pile of ashes on the spot.

I just love the fact that even though she stole my spot, I still left that store at exactly the same time I should have. <_<

The guilt never sets in. If anything, in those types of situations, the satisfaction grows day by day.

I made a woman cry tears of utter hate and anger in Superstore on New Year's Eve. I don't feel an ounce of guilt over it. Her kid bashed into my leg with their cart, and I told him to watch what he was doing. The mother got snarky, and asked me to back off her kid - I hissed at her "You know what? I have a son, too, and it's MY job as a parent to make sure his actions aren't affecting random strangers just trying to get their fucking groceries. Do your job, hmmm?" and her jaw dropped and she turned red and teared up. She was beyond pissed. And I just walked away.

And no, certainly haven't felt guilty. I'd do it again, but I'd probably swear more next time, and threaten her with the bottle of ginger ale I was holding.

Like my avatar? It has your eyes, doesn't it?

Both of you are incorrigible. Bitch slapping some poor idiots! It's a quality, don't get me wrong here. But I must say, from this perspective, is there no room for a small amount of guilt? None?

Swords, you cut in front of a group of people for your own vengeance mission. That could have become ugly. It probably should have become ugly.

I like what you did in some respects, but don't you think that it was all a little bit - you know - shameless?

Uhm... no. I pretty much live without fear, and you know, it has never led me astray thus far; I'm fine with it. If there would have been trouble, I would have sensed it. It was the just thing to do, so it done be did.

My son asked me on the way back to the car (and keep in mind that he is a very kind and gentle soul), "Mommy, why did you cut in front of that lady you were yelling with?" I explained breifly what had transpired, and I said "You should never be mean to people, but you should also never put up with people being mean to you. She stole my spot, and so I stole hers." Simple as that. Consequently, the law apparently agrees--equal retaliation to a wrong is considered "self-defense", but full on vengence without limit can be considered a charge. :) It was pretty fucking equal and had the line of people turned on me, I would have ensured they knew she needed to lose the space she occupied which was rightfully mine.

:D

Swords, I'd imagine shock kept most of them quiet. I'm not saying you didn't do what most of us would have wanted to do, but in all likelihood, had one person spoken up and asked you wtf you thought you were doing, and you explained she stole your parking spot so you were stealing hers, they'd have called you crazy.

To me, calling the woman on her behavior was probably much more upsetting than you cutting in line. That took like, a minute of her time, whereas she was still in front of all those people. But when you called her on it, you pointed out to her how rude her behavior was and left her no moral wiggle room to rationalize.

I think cutting in front of her just made you feel avenged. I don't think it was about her. But this is all just my opinion.

The first time I rremember ever turning away from a good deed was in a bar.

Another chick was dancing next to me on a crowded dance floor. Her wallet fell out of her purse. I stopped instinctively and looked at the wallet on the floor. I hesitated more than a minute, tired of my own compulsive compassion. In that minute, a vivaciously attractive woman noticed my stopped stance and proceeded to cross my path to pick the wallet up and hand it to the oblivious broad still dancing heartedly next to me. She thanked the angel and continued on. The angel (whom many years later I found out was a "swinging" partner with my baby daddy and his wife) looked purposefully at me. I was chagrined and understood then what it felt like when I saw so many do the same before me.

I've passed on good deeds since then and often wondered if it was because I lived through that moment of shame with little remorse or I simply care less about my fellow man. It's still a slight conundrum.

Good deeds. Bad deeds. Vengeful deeds. They all have consequences.

You pick your deeds as you do your battles.

{eh...what do I know?}
Thank God for Haters. Else I'd have no drama in my life.

Big deal? They'd call me crazy. But you'd have to know me to really know.... I wouldn't so much stop to explain myself in depth, I would have one line to say which would confuse people so much that there would be no argument. I was banking on the fact that she wouldn't want to chance having to out herself and what she had done, so she wouldn't speak up... but had someone else, I probably would have just said "This nice lady was so kind to save my spot." The rest of the line did not speak out because SHE didn't speak out. I humiliated her on another level dont-you-see? She was unable to speak out against my slight as she was fully guilty of her own.

Again, you'd have to know me to know I live without fear. I am actually mostly overly polite and kind to people (I know with this story it's hard to believe), but there are times when I am crossed, where all of that will disappear. Again, I'll reiterate, I've always lived this way and it has never led me astray... so Imma gonna keep on doing it.

Not all people are created equally, and not all people deserve respect. I believe purposefuly stupid and ignorant people should be executed... among a short list of others. I love humanity, but I do recognize the virus of the inferior.....

No matter if I was right or wrong, the story is simply telling you how much I hate certain types of people. If that woman would have simply apologized, or if there were any margian for her actions to have possibly been an accident rather than deliberate, I would have let it go. She blew that chance and deserved what she got.

Sure, that, and you've never been in an actual confrontation where the other individual becomes ' physically assertive' . Until that day, you'll probably carry on with your hot-tempered belligerence. :dalekray:
