Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

<p>When are you going to get it. You never give yourself enough time. If someone is nice enough to give you a ride you should give them the courtesy of being on time. It is not cool to keep them waiting.</p>

<p>Posse foundation, you claim(ed) to be for inner city, underprivileged kids, and now, youā€™re giving away other peopleā€™s money to kids from wealthy suburbs with very high performing schools. They will all pose for a pretty photograph together and be identified as being from a city that theyā€™re lucky enough to live only adjacent to, and lucky enough to NOT be in the public school system of. Who are you kidding (besides our well meaning President and few gullible universities)?</p>

<p>I honestly thought Iā€™d heard it all in terms of bizarre public school stories. You prepare those kids for a high-stakes high school exit exam for weeks, tell them to be rested, fed, etc. and then bring them into a gym with a huge bee invasion and all through the test dying bees are falling from the lights onto their desks and they are flicking them off the tests with their fingers. One girl gets stung, everyone is distracted and the floor is a bee morgue. And when the kids ask to move, you tell them there are no options, this is where we always test. Are you serious? Thereā€™d better not be bees in there tomorrow for Part 2 or youā€™d better put those kids somewhere else. Why is testing always handled so incredibly poorly at this school? It isnā€™t rocket science to create a decent testing environment and to administer a test.</p>

<p>Neither my oncologist nor I can believe you are actually listed as one of the best internists in this region. I can hardly wait to see your reaction to the tests the onc thinks you should have ordered two months ago.</p>

<p>Hey hotshot,</p>

<p>I had the pleasure of watching you spin out at highway speeds the other day. Spun completely around, crossed three lanes, went off the road on to the exit ramp, finally got control of your car and jerked back on to the highway. Thank heaven no one was in your direct path, and lucky for you that the exit ramp just happened to be there for you to spill on to. Otherwise youā€™d have been in the guard rail, or the ditch.</p>

<p>Why the spinout? It was sunny and dry. Perfect driving conditions. I assume it was because you were paying no attention to your driving and didnā€™t see that sudden stoppage ahead. You must have missed slamming into those stopped cars by yards.</p>

<p>Lucky for me, and those of us about 50 yards behind you, we werenā€™t slammed into by you either. But if Iā€™d been closer, Iā€™d have taken your plate number and reported you to the cop at the side of the road ahead. I hope someone actually did that. Jerk.</p>

<p>I am tired of being expected to be everyoneā€™s social secretary. When we send an email that says ā€œREPLY ALLā€ that means "REPLY ALL. Dontā€™ just reply to me and expect me to pass it along and be a conduit between everyone on the email distribution. Iā€™ve delicately and diplomaticcally reminded everyone to use ā€œreply allā€. Try READING the emails. Please. I am not going to organize this stuff anymore.</p>

<p>Youā€™re cute and 18 yrs younger than me. I canā€™t wait for our trip.</p>

<p>Really? You wonā€™t help him with his taxes, even though you have ready access to dozens of TAX SPECIALISTS for free. And I have no knowledge but you expect me to figure it all out. All because you can never deal with anything in your personal life on a timely basis. Hah, youā€™ll be trying to put your big nose in it later, guaranteed, after I get it done. Want to know something funny? Iā€™m going to pay someone to do it WITH YOUR MONEY. That will kill you. Nice job, me.</p>

<p>My daughter has lots of good friends and two best friends. But you were her best friend since you guys were two. She went to your fatherā€™s funeral when when you guys were seven. She sat with you for hours in the hospital. You moved away. You came for visits. We went to visit. Everything was fineā€¦until nothing.</p>

<p>I still have your high school graduation present, wrapped. We saw you three weeks before your graduation. You couldnā€™t wait to get it when you came here in July.</p>

<p>Now your mom has moved back here. You cut ties with all your friends here. Iā€™m sorry. You never saw the Los Angeles move back coming. And now, you lost a best friend who knew you sinceā€¦forever. I am so sorry.</p>

<p>Please place the dishes in the dishwasher. It is next to the sink. No more effort required than what you expend currently.</p>

<p>You know all those people that you complain about - you canā€™t understand what happened to the friendship? The ones that you knew for years and years and all of a sudden you lost touch with? Perhaps, just perhaps, thereā€™s a trend here - and perhaps, just perhaps, you might want to look within to see if perhaps, just perhaps, you are a ROYAL PAIN IN THE A$$. Think of something NICE to say about SOMEONE. Stop putting people down. Find something to be joyful about. Sheesh. That felt good.</p>

<p>Why did you tell everyone auditioning that they would hear following a review meeting in 4 days? That there was a great deal that went into the selection of participants and they had to be approved by the organizationā€™s board and the results would come by email following a meeting that would last well into the night? You clearly didnā€™t mean it. DD found out that one girl was selected the night of auditions because of all the congratulations she was getting from friends and current participants on Facebook. Now she has to wait to get your rejection. You have this incredible reputation but what a low class outfit you turned out to be.</p>

<p>No matter what I suggest, your response is "no, (fill in the blank). You must know Iā€™m on your side and have always been. All of your failings are my fault. Gee, that means Iā€™m responsible for my failings and yours, too. Youā€™ve gone off the deep end because you refuse to see that youā€™ve reached too high without matching that ambition with effort. Itā€™s always been the case, and now youā€™re finally feeling the effects, and Iā€™m your main target. Good for you. Iā€™m willing to shoulder the blame as long as you get something good out of it.</p>

<p>I sure hope that talk we had yesterday did some good. I backed you totally. Donā€™t let me down!</p>

<p>Iā€™ve never in my life seen so many passive-aggressive personalities gathered in one place at one time. And to the king of the bunch - I have to tell you that you are a giant a$$. Really.</p>

<p>YOUR MOM is a myoclonic jerk. I just want to sleep, you stupid muscle spasms!</p>

<p>Funny that youā€™re judging other people for judging someone.</p>

<p>Why canā€™t you be polite like the others when answering the question?</p>

<p>If you can spend $3500 for a house on the beach for a week, then you shouldnā€™t be nickle and diming meā€¦I have to live off of the money I make in the few months I operate my business and you arenā€™t any more special because you have used my service for four years. The truth is your business wouldnā€™t be missed all that much if you chose to not place your order with me this summerā€¦I remember your name when you call me because you are cheap , condescending and rude, not because you are a returning customerā€¦oh, and you have to pay sales tax like everyone else too , which I will not give you a
" break " onā€¦stay home if you canā€™t afford to travel</p>

<p>Yes, Iā€™m in a bad mood. Badgering me about why Iā€™m in a bad mood, and how I should be in a better mood, is only going to put me into a MURDEROUS mood, so shut up, you stupid freaking moron.</p>

<p>ya know there is a * reason* why I didnā€™t invite my friends from high school to my wedding, and why I have not tried to get in contact with anyone for thirty five years.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, and to thank you for your sympathy at my parents passing, I agreed to a short visit- even though " right off the freeway" in * my town* does not mean 15 - 20 miles off, on roads with no street lights.</p>

<p>OMG- to pass judgment on a " mutual" friend, because their house doesnā€™t meet your standards- coming from someone whose * parents* apparently * bought* your house and furniture for you, is rich.</p>

<p>I wasnā€™t impressed with your assortment of possessions and I am sorry you had such poor taste in men. I am also sorry that your values donā€™t seem to have evolved since high school, because while you seem to be interested in reestablishing our " friendship", I have zero interest- we really donā€™t have a lot in common, and I would sooner tear up my Tenclub membership ;), than attend the high school reunion with you.</p>

<p>If I want to attend something and no one else wants to go with me, I go by myself.
Youā€™re 52 years old- you are a big girl. Go if you want to.
But given that your reasons seem to be to gloat which cheerleaders are now chubby, and which studs are pot bellied, it sounds like a pretty miserable time.
I am sure you will see what you want to see, and that is all you will get out of it.</p>
