People that I don't like

I will say right up front that in general I do not like (or trust) most people, never have and never will. I have all the friends I will ever need (pretty much all of them are former teammates), thus am not looking for a new one. That said, I am cordial and respectful of everyone but have zero patience for any dumbassery... which includes statements of self importance or self worth.

Civil discourse is relatively simple but seems to elude so many and I don't have time for BS.

How about occasional mirth? You got any time for mirth? :)
 
Guilty. Sometimes I drone on and on about things going on in my life. I am getting better at catching myself and shutting up so others can speak.

My whole life has been built around people like that. I have three friends my age and the rest are my kids friends that became my friends , or kids. I do for all of them and helped raise their kids, a few had to be cut loose. They forgot that under all those layers of what we have done and helped with, lived two people that are tired of the what have you done for me lately. The nest is getting thin and that's fine because at the end of the day, I know that I was always more than generous and kind. They know me well enough to know when it's shame on them. I have learned that life is short and those that are still around would take a bullet for me, as I would for them. Greg, people will always come and go, but don't forget the ones that you had no idea of the mark you left on them that will never forget it. life isn't always fair, but remember sometimes it is unfair in your favor, look around you.

I’m my experience, there’s a lot of that,, “what have you done for me lately”. People have short memories.
 
30 yrs working with the public. My patience is at the, “No F’s given” stage. That being said, Enjoy the day and have a great weekend everyone.

One of my closest friends has become that way. He has bad health issues and is now disabled with a lot of time with nothing to do. When we talk, it has become mostly about how bad he feels, what drugs he is now taking, and how bad his doctors suck. And into all the damn details! As I told my wife, he no longer talks TO you, but he talks AT you... (He don't do much listening) I put up with it due to our close friendship for the last 45 years.

Wow! You nailed it. Sounds just like some of the frequent posters on the PF. Lots of free time on their hands, bad health issues, minimal family bonds, use forums for their major social outlet, don’t do much listening, self absorbed in their thinking and constantly preaching/criticizing others with different views.
Many here put up with it because of the love of Mopars

WELL, IF YOU ASK ME...LOL. Healthy intolerance of inconsiderate douches coms naturally with age and experience to interesting people...you're not alone. That's all I have to say about that... and I'm right!LOL. PS: Unfortunately your spelling decreases at the same rate...and forget about simple math, those days are over.

Nice to see you've committed to your self help. I'm sure you're playing "Man in the Mirror" (Michael Jackson) in the background during your inspirational journey. :lol:
 

WOW! That song sucks! Kinda concerned that you know it.
 
Well now I forgot what I was going to say. Never mind.
 
Oh I know. If I don’t interrupt someone during their long rant, I forget it.
 
What do ya do about a buddy that buys a room full of furniture from ya and never intended to pick it up and then says "I was trying to help you out"....meaning he gave me money for nothing and had no intention of ever getting it and left it for me to store?? Just got rid of it on Wednesday after it sat here for 2 years and 8 months....and me asking him ''when are you going to get your stuff out of my house'' for the past 2 years and 4 month?!! He would always give me some reason why he wasn't able to get it 'this week'. Well, the Salivation Army picked it up for him on Wednesday. If I would have known he was 'just trying to help me out' I never would have let him buy it. I could go on and on and on about this guy but there's no reason to. We are no longer 'friends' (were we ever?) mainly because of the things he called me in my last communication to try to get him to get his stuff. I asked him 'who does this'? That's when he started in on me and of course, I'm the one in the wrong.

Even his son warned me about him. Life's journey's are endless......and just don't need crap in my life at this stage. Lots of times he'd talk crap about Mopars while riding in my Dakota (which was most of the time and he's a diehard Chevy guy) and there's been more than a couple of times that I pulled over and just shut the motor off and he'd ask why I stopped. I'd look him and say.....really?? I guess you forgot what you are riding in. Then he'd get pretty quiet. Oh geez. Sometimes he made me laugh but when he tried to piss me off is when I got tired of it because it happened so many times but I said there's no reason to go on and on about him. I just wonder about myself as to why I tried to be a friend to this guy?
 
Life is too short to try to make people happy when they never really had intentions to do so in the first place.

My wife's cousin is a real pain in the *** for me, she is one of those person that never ever shut the **** up, when you try to talk never listen to you, with her you have monologues, her opinion is the only one that matter, now me being rude and just for fun, always do this, always speak when she start to talk, she raise her voice and so am I, untill we are yelling to each other, one time during a family dinner she finally blows up and told me to shut the **** up, I laugh so hard and told her to do the same, why don't you just shut the **** up, in fact you never ever listen to your daughter she's a teen drunk, listen to your brother also an addict and you know what, **** you, ( all this is Spanish of course ) my wife luckily wasn't there at the time, and in our way home i tell her what happened, she wasn't happy to say the least ( she is her cousin after all) but i told her I di not want to see her again, end of the trouble.

You guys know me. I love stories, both in the telling and in the listening to.
Stories necessarily take up copious amounts of time, of course.
Sorry, the good ones just do...whether you're reading them or listening/telling them.
To presume that such yakkity folks are innately self-serving, however, is unfair - and
quite rude a presumption to make at times, honestly.
Banty roosters as I call them.

I agree with you most of the time but I have met many people that don't tell interesting stories the way that you do. They simply rape my ears with rants about themselves and what they think & feel. THEN when I have a chance to speak, they are not interested in listening.
I have no interest in dealing with people like that.
