Maybe after I go to class tomorrow I will find  more to rant about

Would You. 

[Callaway]

I read through it, I just did not know what to say.  What is wrong with your drawer?  What on it is broken?

At least you have a room to yourself.
I had a spell of temporary insanity for a short time in college when I thought it would improve my people skills to move into a house off campus with four other girls.  I didn't know any of them.  We drove each other crazy.

I had roommates my freshman year that drove me crazy. Now I only live in singles.

Do you have any tools? 

[QuirkyCarla]

nothing that could help me with that 

[McGiver]

the nails are still in it, even with that piece of wood gone. they need to be taken out, and then it needs to be nailed in. a man's job. 

and filled with wood putty, then sanded, then stained to match the color.

i don't know what you're talking about.

The other problem is probably that the drawer does not glide properly, which is why the front was nailed on like that and broken.

my gripe of the day is about bullies:

in particular, bullies who bully by exclusion or ignoring their prey.

i do not agree with any form of bullying, but i realize now that it is inevitable.  but if you are going to bully someone i think its best that you bully them to their face, that way they at least know where they stand with you.  its the honest approach.
those who bully in disguise or behind others backs is a cowards bullying tactic.

but to me, the absolute lowest form of bullying is by ignoring a person, not letting them know that you have a problem with them.  at least if you are bullying face to face, the two may come to an understanding since, then there is at least opportunity.  or the person being bullied may learn about themselves and change, if they so choose.

that is all.

Bitching behind people's backs is one of my pet peves- maybe its the Yorkshire bluntness in me, but I always think if you have a problem you should just come right out and say it. 

[duncvis]

totally agree. people who pretend nowts going on to your face while they're scheming away and whining about you out of sight are the most pathetic, spineless fuckers there are. I have zero respect for that kind of two-faced, cowardly behaviour. 

[Lucifer]

the whining would irritate the fuck out of me, too.  but what mcj described doesn't sound like bullying, in some cases - more like "how to wind someone else up into the stratosphere".  which, obviously, is a great idea.

no?

just me, then...

[duncvis]

Not my preferred approach. Flame until crispy, then piss on the bonfire is more like it.

does it entertain you?

the bottom line is that everybody is bound by their own perceptions of reality, their own biases and prejudices based upon lifes experience.  we all do what we do to get through our day.
so my theory is if, its ok with you and helps you get through your day, who am i to judge your actions.

i just think that there are levels of behaviour.  and its based upon my own perceptions.

[Lucifer]

i noticed. 

however, i like to work with the individual, as it were, so if that modus operandi fucks them over more than the direct approach, that's what i'd do.   

[McGiver]

i don't think another person can fuck someone else up.  where is the human spirit.  people allow themselves to be effected by anothers, mere, words.

i do think a parent can fuck up a child though, but not two grown adults.
