When people tell me to read the directions, look at the manual, etc. when I ask them a question.....

My mother's idiot did this all the time. His ass lived here without having to get a job, pay rent, buy groceries or even his own hygiene supplies and clothes, so I think it's not totally unfair to ask for help around the house in return. Nope, anytime Mom asked him to do stuff, he'd tell her to read the directions. This usually resulted in Mom screaming, sobbing, threatening to kill everyone, etc. because she overreacts about everything and couldn't understand shit, hence her asking for help. Gods forbid he take time out of his busy day of doing NOTHING.

Oh gawd, I work with a woman like that. Well, probably worse. First time I ever encountered such a whining hysteric, so you have my sympathies :pals

This woman should know basic PC stuff, lord, she claims to be just a few credits shy of a BS in Computer Science. But she doesn't know how to change the color of a font and can't highlight/copy/paste even if her life depends on it. She doesn't know how to open a new MS e-mail but takes an old one, changes the text, and does a Forward. She thinks taking the SAVE option is necessary before she can print a document and throws a fit whenever the destination box opens. And when these things don't work for her, she starts pounding on the table, screeching and cussing. Most everyone else ignores her, but I'll usually get up and help her, just to get her to STFU. She is a 100% tard about basic PC functions. And since she's been at this employer for a long time, and it's a state job, she makes >20 grand more than I do.

I have no problem with sitting down with people who genuinely want to learn and walking them through a process, because I know some people learn more easily from observation than from reading. But once a person has demonstrated that I'm basically let me Google that for you, I am disinclined to offer any help. If I've answered the same question before, and you didn't bother to remember the answer or write down the answer, you are unlikely to get the desired response from me; I am not your personal external memory device.

My guess is that the teacher has been soured by having so many people asking senseless questions that your request for the deadline sounded like more of the same, Cambion. "I didn't receive a new copy of the handbook and the one I have is out of date; could you tell me how I could get a new copy of the handbook" might get past the guard enough to get a sensible answer, because it shows a willingness to look things up on your own if you're given the tool to do so.]]> yurble The PatioWed, 22 May 2013 03:19:50 -0400 http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,247158,300214#msg-300214 Re: Just plain hate.http://www.refugees.bratfree.com/read.php?7,247158,300214#msg-300214
Sorry for the rant. One of my professors did this shit to me recently. I ask about a very important deadline and they tell me to look in the fucking handbook. Well my handbook is out of date - seems everyone got new ones but me, somehow, so I haven't really depended on it much since the only way to know what's accurate and what's not is to ask one of my professors or advisers. Therefore, if the deadline I have is incorrect, I will be sure to raise holy hell with the school.

What are they trying to do, teach me to be more independent or some shit? Forgive the fuck out of me for wanting to run something by someone who is more knowledgeable than myself because I want to be sure about whatever it is I'm doing. Then when you say you don't understand something or can't find the details you're looking for, they tell you to look again or look harder or look online, but they still won't actually answer your question.

Believe me, I hate interacting with people. If I can get an answer from a manual or a set of instructions, I'll do that first.

Constant "debate" with my children-addled best friend over music.

He only listens to country music.

He keeps saying how he likes country music and love songs (you can keep both, as far as I'm concerned). Says that they are about "real life" and are "positive and uplifting". Will tell me that he doesn't know why I listen to what I do, that all they sing about is "glorifying drugs crime and violence". Maybe a few do, but not ALL of them. Maybe a bit dysfuntional, but so am I, so I can relate.

Play him this Johnny Cash video and ask him how positive and uplifting it is. :bounce http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2csrt_johnny-cash-delia-s-gone_music#.UZukD9bNmSo

I like Cash but the above or "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die" isn't all that uplifting (I'm Irish - I LIKE depressing songs:bawl :chug)

There's plenty of music I don't like, and some that I dislike enough to leave the room whenever it is played, but I don't expect everybody to share my taste.

Unfortunately, they are things that I could have spent an entire life being okay with not knowing that they exist.

Mrs. Empty Nester attends a convention every year. Which one says you? The RT Booklover's Convention, which is supposedly some huge showdown of romance/erotica "writers" and readers. I looked it up online, and there are all kinds of workshops for the person looking to break into the genre, all kinds of fan workshops, things for teenagers, etc.

Mrs. EN has a Facebook album devoted to her time spent at these conventions. I got up an hour and a half ago to get ready for an interview, and all I've done is sit here and scream with laughter at these pics.

Seriously, I have never seen so many obese soccer Moms gathered in one place. The Moos at this "convention" can keep a sex toy business open for a century. OMFG. Everyone in sight is jacked up.

Well, everyone needs some sort of convention I guess to meet like-minded folks. I'm not sure that a hotel full of oversexed, suburban mothers is my thing - but hey, Dog bless.

Breederonce can sing but her songs are not catchy. I like Rihanna's stuff...it is catchy even though she is a punching bag.

Everyone raves over Celine Dion. Technically, she can sing because she has strength and power in her voice. But, I just don't like the tone of her voice...I never have.
