Because I like the taste...

These cartoons seem to say it all...




It seems to happen to me from time to time. Especially when I am tired and my filter is a little slow. Well, it happened to me again. I said something that once I said it, I realized that it didn't sound like it did in my head. However, before I could even clarify, someone (who I wasn't even talking to) jumped all over it. Called me rude and started to rip me up one side and down the other and on and on, blah, blah, blah.... So at that point, of course I just wanted to cry, and I wish I could have clarified myself to the actual person that I said it too, but it would have just come out a blubbering mess. The thing that made it even worse, is that the person that was chewing me out, was totally making assumptions and judgements about me that were totally unfounded. And she knows me. It isn't like we are strangers. She should know that I am not that way right? So what do you do in that situation? I just walked away... it was one of those moments that I wished I wasn't so emotional. Just sayin'.

whatever. You should have let the gushing begin. Just overly bawl while she is yelling at you so SHE could realize what a jerk SHE was being. I'm sorry you had this experience. It is much like the reason why I've decided that I would rather curl up in a cave somewhere and not deal with any other women EVER.

Your comment was unintentional, and hers were purposefully hurtful, which I think is way worse. Why do people think it's okay to be a jerk? Even if she was just trying to defend the other person, I don't think it's ever okay to jump all over someone like that. Anyone who knows you knows that you wouldn't be purposefully mean.
I'm sorry that you had to go through this. I wish people were more mature.

How sad for you. I feel really bad. Don't you just wish we could always think before we speak? There are so many times I wish I could take back what I say.

I would call the person who you were unintentional rude to. I'm sure you didn't have a chance to make it right. Once you do that then at least your heart will be lightened knowing you have done all that you can. If the lady who was rude to you is a good friend you might need to hash it out. Explain you side and intentions and let her know how hurt you felt. It is better then just being mad at her. If she isn't a good friend then...I would just let it go to people being rude and dumb. I'm Sorry about all this. A friend of mine jumped in with a quick respone to me yesterday. I was so grateful when she emailed me asking if we were ok. I was then able to just let it go. I hope it all works out for you.
