People who make you crazy

OMG, my neighbor is driving me nuts. She is NOT a nice person. She doesn't work and is the first to tell EVERYONE anything about another person, usually causing trouble.

Now that is some nerve parking in your carport! It's my daughter that drives me bonkers! Never know what is going on with her and now that she is 36, I don't want to know...lol

My family makes me crazy!

Sorry to hear that Jeanna!

Sorry to hear that too PJ! Sometimes there are things that are just TMI...too much information.

Sandy, I feel the way you do too!

(Smile) To a certain degree, Carol, mine does too, but I love them all anyway!

Yes, You have to love them, but you don't have to like them!

Customers ... I work in a grocery store as a cashier ... when the item isn't on the shelf or doesn't ring up its my fault!!! ... I mean come on give me a break ... I get so tired of apologizing for something I have no control over ... and I wouldn't mind if it was just a comment ... I am talking about people that git really angry ... then they go complain to my manager because they say I wasn't responsive to their complaint!!!!! ... I mean puleeeeze ... I say I am sorry and ask them if they want me to call up and find out if we have any in the back and or verify the price ... oh well, sorry I vented :(

Thanks Kathleen! Mother in laws do have their moments!

Thanks Vicky! It's hard when you love your job except for that one person....

Thanks Katherne! I once had a man almost hit me with an umbrella when I worked in a store. It wasn't working right and I told him not only did I not make it, it wasn't from my department and I sent him to the right place to complain but I thought he was going to let loose on my head! Customers vent at the wrong people!

Thanks Danielle! My Dad was the same way when we moved down here 10 years ago. I was 43 and I left home at 18. I was a little old for it. I told him about a house we were going to rent and he drove over and talked to the landlord who was getting the place ready for us. It felt like he thought we were children. He meant well but I was taken aback.

Wow it seems that almost everyone is working my nerves these days, lol. Maybe its the heat.

Thanks Mae!

Thanks Kathleen, she sounds like a real trip. For years I visited my Mother in law and cried all the way home as I would realize her curt comments were putting me down. I love her dearly and I enjoy her company otherwise. When my sister in law told me once how hurt she was over the things her mother said to her, and they were the same comments she had said to me, I realized that this is just the way she was and I learned to let it roll off my shoulders. I am not sure if everyone in the family realizes that she complains to each one about the other. (there are six of them).

My ex-mother in law wins the worst mother in law award as she took off with my kids. She dragged me through the courts to take custody away from me. Twice she got a warrant out for my arrest when she didn't know where I lived(she judge shopped and you can't do that in NYC, it went back to the original Judge) and gave my sister in laws address as mine. I went to court both times and she refused to go for psychological evaluation as the Judge wanted all parties involved to. After talking to my children and hearing the story of how she took off with them, she was basically told to leave me alone and if she interfered with my custody again the Judge said he would personally see that she would get 7 years in jail!

We did our wedding ourselves. My husband stayed the night before at his parents. When I walked up the aisle he wasn't wearing the tie I bought him for the event. His mother had her last hurrah and made him wear one of his fathers. I was so angry but what could I do? Now I laugh about it. In the long run, it really didn't matter...but this is how MIL are. They want to feel involved and unfortunately they get kinda controlling. I have two daughter in laws and one son in law and I do my best to stay out of their hair. I am so happy my children have people they love and people who love them I try to be supportive and keep my mouth shut!!!

I'm lucky to have a wonderful mother-in-law. She's a short red-headed creative life-of-the party sort of person. I don't have any relatives to complain about at this juncture (7 years ago the summer before my wedding was another story)...but now we've settled into a nice routine where my parents call once/week and my in-laws e-mail and/or call once in a while.

Right now I have a co-worker that's on my s**t list. But that's more of a story for a protected, 'locked' environment like my friends only portion of my livejournal. This is not the place to discuss that issue...

;)

Thanks Kathleen, they call the husband-wife-mother in law the eternal triangle. Mostly I think MIL do think no one is good enough for their sons. What they don't realize is when they talk the wife down and treat her poorly they are really calling their sons stupid for their choice of a wife. I found the best way to handle it is always be nice to my MIL and let things roll off and just do what you want. You are the Mother and what you and your husband want is the important thing. She had her chance to name her children, now it's your turn.

Thanks Leah, I can understand your desire for privacy. Thanks for commenting! Good luck with your co-worker! I am pleased you have a terrific MIL they are out there!!!

I have a friend that drives me up the wall !!!.....She always brings her kids when she comes,and lets them run wild....My house looks like a tornado hit it when they leave.

I hear you Ann, it's a no win situation. If you say something you might never hear from her. If you don't you dread hearing their car pull in the driveway!

My dog hating neighbor. You could almost see fire shoot out his ears when we adopted a third dog. HA!

At times my family drive me bonkers. There are some people at work that truly drive me crazy.

Oh, and we have one neighbor who lives behind us that talks to loud, likes to cuss, and is up all hours of the night talking on her cell phone in her yard.

My "boss". She's technically not my manager but he's never around so I have to answer to her. I swear she loses braincells by the second and has no clue what she's doing. It makes my life stressful but I need the paycheck and the experience for my resume when I graduate college.

Thanks for posting this. I've been dying to say that to someone else.

Thanks Shannon, I think the next time we move I will talk to the postman about the neighborhood, they tend to know alot about it!

Thanks Tina, that's what Mothers are for, silly!

Thanks Kari, it will feel good when you move on and she is left behind!

my mother in law drives me nuts with her tv, but she's nice other wise; and we get along
