Remember the post I wrote a year and a half ago that was a list of things I haven’t told people? With no explanations or further commentary? Well, I think it’s time for another one.
1. OK! You and your spouse make a lot of money! I get it! You don’t need to tell me every time we talk! PS I really, truly, sincerely DO NOT CARE how much money you make. In fact, I would really rather never talk to you again since that’s all you can talk about.
2. Quit sucking up. You’re embarrassing yourself.
3. Do you really need to prove you are the smartest person in the room at all times? I’m tired of pretending to be impressed.
4. You always say bad things about other people to me, behind their backs. And yet you don’t think I realize that when I’m not there you say bad things about me.
5. Has it ever occurred to you that if you think everyone else in the whole world is a bitch, the problem might be YOU?
6. You act like a 14-year-old girl trying to prove she’s an adult. Just be an adult. You don’t need to try so hard.
7. You can pretend your snide comments are innocent, but we both know that they aren’t. Give it up.
8. I’m sorry I blamed you, even though it was my fault.
9. Any time someone disagrees with you, you take it as a personal attack. You need to realize that not everyone agrees with you, and you’re not always right.
10. I hope you don’t feel like I abandoned you when you needed me.
This post must have been so refreshing to write! And yes, I agree that I am inherently mistrustful of people who talk bad about other people behind their backs. Why would anyone think they were exempt?
It’s a kin to the mistress thinking she can trust the cheating husband.
Ok, I love these, but only because we’re not REAL-LIFE besties, in which case I would be obsessing over which one was about ME.
Still. Fun.
This must be so refreshing…which makes me realize, no one has been really weird. I need to start reexamining my tolerance! What’s wrong with me?
I love doing these! I could have written 4 and 5 recently, too. They’ve been hiding out in my head a lot.
Number 9 is so me. And my brother. You should hear some of our conversations because we both refuse to be wrong. Because we’re not. We’re both always right.
4, 5, 8 and 9 have been on the tip of my tongue more than once.
Oh you should speak your mind more often. Hope all is well by you and that you have a fantastic holiday weekend!
Do I know about #6, or are there two such people in your life?
