Is this really a bad thing?

[Meg]

Maybe I'm just too goody-two-shoes. Or maybe I need more confidence. BUT! I must ask the brilliant community here. When a person is being an idiot/rude/condescending I can't help myself. I just have to laugh at them. Whether it is actual laughing or just sarcastic comments, I just have to respond by laughing. I know that doesn't help, but sometimes it just feels so good.

Is that bad?

OH! And what are some of the things you do when a person says something that is just too stupid?

I deal with a whole lot of stupidity at work from guests, and because we're not exactly allowed to laugh in their faces, I usually just smile awkwardly. I'm usually one of those guest service reps who is always insanely (almost creepishly) bubbly and smiley even when you're yelling at me.

And then I waltz into the back office and talk about how much of an idiot you were behind your back.

 

[Meg]

I've never laughed in a customer's face. I save that for the ride home once I get off work. I was talking more about people in a non-work setting.

Like a forum.

That's not bad at all! In fact, when I'm in a heated argument with an idiot I begin to laugh, because it just makes them angrier... Which makes me laugh even harder. Have you noticed that when arguing/debating with an idiot they get louder and louder? I also love to add "He who screams loudest does not win an argument. ". Ah, I'm surprised I haven't been punched in the face yet.

Sometimes though... If someone is being beyond rude I become a monster and destroy them in every way possible. Especially if it's on FB. I even call my mother in to help me out, because quite frankly there's no need to be mean/rude to someone, especially if they don't deserve it... And boy if you mess with me AND my mama finds out, prepare to be ruined.

I don't laugh at stupidity, as it cant be helped, but it does get on my nerves.

I've a guy at work who likes to be the centre of attention all the time, and thinks its funny to cause everyone else a red neck.

he has this trick when addressing me ( usually infront of the hot receptionists ) he forgets my name... i laughed and said,

'' there he goes again, trying the old , belittling trick.''

*he looks confused *

* i continue *

'' you know, you're either too thick to read a name which is on a badge not 2 feet away from you, you've a memory has more holes than a siv, or you're just trying to make me out to be an insignificance in your life ''

* i keep pressing *

'' Now, i know you can read, and your memory is of a standard which inables you to remember to belittle me in front of colleagues, so by the way of a process of elimination of sorts, we've deduced it down to you pretending to regard me as an insignificance, which proves to me you're something of mummies boys, because you are always crawling for attention, and this stunt of trying to shrug me off doesn't work, for you know, and i know, that i am as significant in your life, as your soon to be bald patch on your head ''

* nobody dares talks about this impending badlness because of fear of a backlash.. *

but he shut the hell up quick than a lightning bolt, and had no retort.

you have to treat people with respect, but when they think they can have a go at you, then it's them who chose to walk into the lions den, so do with them what you please.

you are not on this earth to take other people snash.

Oh, a forum. Well, in that case I'd go to another forum, preferably one with mostly the same people but not as popular, and talk about how ridiculous they were.

Honestly, I usually just ignore it unless the individual is purposely trying to provoke others. Sometimes I'll throw in a snippy remark here or there, but eh... at the end of the day I understand that you just can't help stupid.

If I'm friends with the person I'll probably pick on them for it as well. I like getting reactions out of people.

I come to this one.

I've laughed at a co-worker before because he was being such a jerk. He kept trying to get me to do everything and eventually I just cracked up and walked away. He grumbled the whole rest of the night. This guy is always looking to put others down, but he didn't bother me since.

Awww you can't beat an adorable cat!

I come to this one.

Edited - Apology made.

 

[La Femme Fatale]

Alright, woah, hold up kids - what do I need to know about?

 

[VP-70]

Meg, go f*** yourself. I apologized for what I said in the other topic.

Seriously man, Storyofmylife and i were spreading the love, and sprinkling some magic humanity dust into this thread then

BOOOOOOMMM.....

 

[Silverback]

Alright, hold up kids - what's going on?

In another thread, I told a joke about Meg based on the "Jack & Jill" nursery rhyme. I apologize after Meg seemingly gets offended and we make our peace.

I then come to this thread and find posts like the one I quoted and begin to feel she's taking the p**s out of me in some sense.

Meg, I'm sorry for both the joke and the fact I told you to F yourself but please just be careful of what you post. I got offended because I felt you were making fun behind my back.

I realize I currently feel depressed and that might be why. Sorry if I got off on the wrong foot. I don't feel too good at the moment.

LOL, okay?...

Thanks, man. That cheered me up. I'm sorry. Lets spread the love.

Merged.

Right.

This is not directed to you in particular, although it certainly applies in this particular situation; everyone, please mindful of what you say and how you say it. When you respond impulsively to another member, you're often allowing your emotions and your temper to cloud your better judgment and this is when rules get broken. We don't tolerate insulting comments here and we're not about to start now. I'm not going to dish out formal infractions for it, but the next time I might not be in such a pleasant mood.

It's entirely possible this thread was not about anyone in particular. Like I said, just mind your words. The apology is appreciated however. Any continuation of this discussion is best had on our profiles or through private messages. Thanks,

I must admit I am not terribly skilled at reading memes. What are you trying to tell me friend?

I believe he's trying to say f*ck yeah.
