^ amen to that. Customers are fracking ridiculous. =/
What's pissing me off: being made out to be a bad guy when all I do is give and swallow 9/10ths of what I have to say. I don't rock the boat unnecessarily, and I let a lot of shit just go without a word, even though it bothers me or hurts my feelings or whatever. But it's extremely...vexing, I guess?... to be painted as some sort of horrible, monstrous person for being a nice guy. =/ I'm not conceited (lol I think very little of myself most of the time), but there are two things I take distinct pride in: my intellect, and the fact that I am genuinely one of the nicest fucking people anyone is ever going to meet.
So having that twisted and tossed in my face is very aggravating.
Case in point: I'm talking to a friend, and we're just making small talk - nothing really going on for either of us, yadda yadda. And then it turns out that, even though I *specifically* asked some questions about her day, she lied to me and said nothing interesting had happened, and it was just another day, etc. Yes, yes, it's not really a big thing to lie about, but when you know (as she does) that I really, REALLY hate being lied to, and then lie about it anyway, only to go on to another friend about how crappy our friendship is, it's like...really? =/ It can't possibly be because of the way you've been acting lately, huh? It's just GOT to be me, right?
It's just really frustrating to be treated like shit by someone who then makes themselves the martyr in the situation. -__-
Just another reminder of why I hate this time of year.
Fuck Christmas.
