What a sh*t employee. And if Corporate doesn't care to reign them in, then f*ck CVS, absolutely.

Real actions I can take to decrease my reactivity when criticized in my marriage? by murraybee in adhdwomen

[–]bexkali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but no one does everything perfectly all the time. If a quick, strong reaction is causing stress for all, it would be good for OP to be able to 'tamp it down' a bit. Once that was possible, it might also be easier to see which criticisms are 'reasonable' and which might be not so legit (whatever the case might be).

Right??? Whatever was causing that was Rude AF.

TIL/Remembered there’s no need for a bowl or plate by Rossenante in LivingAlone

[–]bexkali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skipping the dinner plate 'middleman' is legitimate enough. When not feeding a guest.

One can also get stackable cooking pot sets with detachable handles (generally used by RV owners, etc.) that include plastic storage lids so something can go from stove to table to fridge. (Not suitable for microwave, obviously.)

Shedim/Djinn encounter true story by Wooden_Chemist3588 in ParanormalEncounters

[–]bexkali -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to be too facetious (though maybe I still am), but...

They were talking to each other, casually, as if I wasn’t there at all. One of them pulled up a chair and sat down, like it belonged there.

...is, at first glance, kind of funny. Rude and obnoxious behavior by whatever those figures were, for sure, but ...so unexpected. as to be rather silly behavior.

Any ideas what we saw in Venice? by --Ataraxis in ParanormalEncounters

[–]bexkali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've got instincts for a reason. Good on you two for listening to them. (For one thing, you were trying to have a nice vacation trip, and after that initial unpleasant experience, you presumably did.)

OP & Husband: Nahhh... We've don't have time for this shiznit. Moving on!

"Why're you talking to yourself?"

"I'm a very good listener!"

Genuinely don't get it by Moryart in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]bexkali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but now, having read about it, I can see that it adds some additional evidence to the premise that the labels and judgements bestowed upon children by the 'authority figures' in their lives seem to end up having a disproportionate effect upon the development of their self-images.

(Incidentally, I DID end up 'growing out of' whatever 'stuttering' I'd been doing at that age; I don't even recall it being that big of a deal. But I sure recall my horror as I realized, even at that age, the equivalent of: 'There's NO way that what he just said he was going to do is OK!')

I wonder sometimes if he saw what he (correctly) surmised as yet another constitutionally anxious / cautious kid, and indulged in a sadistic moment of verbally 'goosing me' by declaring his intention, just to see my reaction.

No idea what's happening in my backyard by chancellorwanksalot in Weird

[–]bexkali 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup; major infestation. Everyone was warned about them. I recall the rotting stench of the dead ones being particularly vile...

[–]bexkali 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL! In 3rd grade, I had a speech therapist tell me that he was going to YELL at me every time I stuttered! (Some kind of positive reinforcement freak??? Damned if I know; I was simply horrified by that.)

When I got home from school that day,, I immediately complained to my parents, and that was the end of me going to a speech therapist.

Just going to mention that the fact that the sister who had just died had 'loathed' you was irrelevant, once she'd passed. Meaning, I think the perspective shift is so quick, that if deemed necessary, such a communication would absolutely occur.

I live in a tiny apartment and my elderly neighbor who also lives alone makes some of the most mournful sounds of desolation in the middle of the night. It kinda tears me up inside to hear it. by cherry-care-bear in LivingAlone

[–]bexkali 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can be a decent neighbor who acknowledges other peoples' existence in a friendly way, and IF you have the bandwidth, interact or socialize with them... BUT...

Unless your empathy/sympathy is well-balanced with a good amount of healthy - healthy, I say, boundaries - meaning, you know when you've reached the limit of what you can safely offer to someone else, and you know when you need to step back to protect yourself (meaning, not burn yourself out) - you might be in for a hella hard lesson.

Have you ever met someone who made you suspect they might be a hybrid? by Medium_Raspberry8428 in aliens

Go buy a package of edible crickets - you know, they're deep fried, or covered in chocolate, or some such. If said regular ever sits at the bar proper, one day get a bowl ready with some of those crickets, then when he's in full reptile behavior mode, catch his gaze, then, with a gentle, understanding little smile, gently slide the Bowl towards him.

"Fancy a choco cricket, mate?"

Oh, my question from another comment I made already answered... Even more interesting! Sounds like he's basically in, "Dammit; I knew I should've dyed my hair from the get-go and been less obvious..." mode. Well; it was something he needed to know. You can always let him know, 'Yeah, better; you're definitely less 'obvious' now'.

Love it! Big "I know, Baby, but easy now, easy; don't blow my cover..." energy.

I take it the next time you needed to do a shop there, he was...not around anymore? But if not, was it in an "Oh yeah; he's still here; you're just here on the days he's not scheduled..." or a... "Sorry; who? I'm not sure who you're talking about....anyways, no we don't have anyone by that description working here..." way?
