I hate people

You guys, not so much but people "In general."

Todays drama? Someone called CPS and claimed my house was a disaster. The CPS lady walked in, looked around, and told me that clearly this person (they can't tell you who) had never been to my house before.

Well, duh. But whoever they are they can go straight to hell.

So.. either way... I WIN!!! Wenchie Prevails!!!! (Was there ever a doubt?)

But... I still hate people.

Anyone here ever just had someone pull a D-move of that magnitude just completely unprevoked? Lets just vent it out without getting super personal and whine assy about it.

What did they do (Rough overview - no names) and did you get them back?

 

I don't and I don't know what they could be getting back at me for, that's a horrible thing to do to someone to try and get their kids taken.. i mean I haven't left the house, literally, in 5 months so I don't know who could be so vindictive.

My guess is the neighbor because I threatened to sue him if he split the driveway and he found out I was perfectly able to and would win if he did. The porch that he can see has a lot of junk on it from a failed yard sale, but it's a closed locked porch and doesn't count as dangerous because the kids are barred from going onto it.

I love when things like that, your situation, backfire. It couldn't usually happen to a nicer person. I kinda hope whoever did this has it backfire too.

 

He's my least favorite person EVAR. And if it wasn't him than I don't know who it was.

But I survived. And I may be forced to throw some pink flamingos up in the yard. And come this Christmas EXTRA lights, since last year he made the snide little remark that our house hadn't seen lights in years, like it was a bad thing.

Anyone have any animatronic reindeer they don't need? I'm going to town.

 

Sounds more like going to war.
VICTORY. Prevail over your opposition.

 

That really is such a horrible thing for someone to do, especially out of spite. I hope (whoever) they get run over by a reindeer this christmas or get bitten by a rabid squirrel :-D

My story

I had just started working a new job. I was in a co-worker's office where I was getting something explained to me. The phone rang so I answered it and the caller asked for someone who had worked there in ages (I wasn't aware of this until later) so I told the caller they had the wrong number, they said ok and we hung up. Well, I guess, I must have went to the bathroom or something because the person called back and a co-worker, the one who's office I was in, answered the phone. It was apparently the same caller who had called the first time and they simply had the person's name wrong of who they were looking for.

Well, my co-worker runs and tells my boss that I'm telling customers they have the wrong number so they don't call back and he comes to me and (nicely) tells me not to tell anyone they have the wrong number but to prompt them for more information as to who they are looking for. This is how I KNEW my co-worker told my boss I said this as I was in the same room when them when I said it.

I was pissed because I felt like my co-worker should have come to ME first and said something to ME. Not run straight to my boss to try and get me in trouble when I had only just started working there.

I've always said, I like being around people until I have to talk to them :-D

 

I have had a few things happen one was my neighbor always calls the cops because he thinks we are collecting trash like trashy people. No matter if the car sits 2 days without moving. We've got police coming by to see if it runs. So each week/month we got something new to talk about, yet neighbor still does it and we know who it is(cops even told us). But anyways we just put a chair outside this week for trash and the guy called the cops for emergency that the chair was in the road blocking traffic(yet nothing was there). Anyways neighbor needs to get a life.

Another thing was I always nice no matter what place Ive worked. And like its been said I said come to me if you got an issue. Well the last thing I got spoken to about was I was working(never talked to this guy/kinda weird/got issues) and later that day I get supervisor to come over. Says will you come over here real quick? I said sure.. what ? He stares at me and Iam like what? He said we've got someone coming to us saying your sexually harrassing them and won't stop after they told you to stop. And That I am also saying perverted things to them. Me being supprise and shocked and then pissed. I am "cool with people there" so I asked who was it to supervisor? Hes not to say but he told me "larry blank" I said who? He then pointed him out. I said I havn't talked to that guy all day or even for a while. So then the supervisor says alright just making sure. I said okay kewl. So I walk by this larry guy few times and end up having to sit next to him at a meeting that day. Well this larry guy talking all nice to me and yet never mentions me doing harm to him. So I just sat there pissed that guy said I was sexually harrassing him and doing perverted stuff(and yet I am a guy) and sure in heck don't swing!

 

Maybe to him that is sexual harassment.:confused
He was harassed because you wouldn't get sexual.rolleyes:-D

 

Maybe If I talked to him I could see him saying something about me. But like I said to other people. I said why would he choose me? Maybe hes attractive to me.:cry And another thing is i don't think anybody wants to be asked about sexually harrassing a guy at your work.

 

Like you said.
He may be attracted to you and feels hurt because it isn't returned.
May be his way of getting even.

 

I've been in the slipstream of a vindictive, petty, nasty little bully who liked to pick on the young 'uns at work. I hate bullies, particularly those that target kids who are too scared to stand up for themselves in case their job is put on the line. This one was a manager and he got his jollies from picking up on the slightest little mistake by the paduans. Bear in mind that these are 17 and 18 year old kids serving an apprenticeship in their first job out of school.
Anyway, he likes to strut around the kids like a daddy cockerel, barking out the orders and 'keeping the kids in check'. HA!! Shouting and cursing at teenagers ain't condusive to a happy workplace. Besides, he was, and probably still is, an arrogant, self important toe rag with nothing better in his life than a chip on his shoulder the size of Wales. Funking prink.
So one day, in a particularly vehement attack on a kid who wad 17 at the time, I walked over and told him what I thought of him. He triedto hide behind the fact that he was a manager. I told him to lay off the paduans or we would be going up the dancers to the MDs office. He called my bluff. The kids gave written statements of the harrassment they received from this odious tick, handed it to the production manager and they were invited to a meeting with himself and the MD. Creepy tried to worm his way out of it by saying that was how he was taught as an apprentice. Bollocks. That's the biggest, lamest cop out ever. He weren't even that old. Mid 30s?
Needless to say he made my life a misery, but being anold hand with 30 years work experience behind me, it was like water off a duck's back.
The upshot is that about a year ago we had a wave of redundancies and guess what? He was in amongst them. Last I heard he was working as a lollipop man in Scotland. That last bit was a lie. A lollipop man is too good a job for him.
I don't hate people, I hate what people become.

 

That sucks, Wenchie. I'm a firm believer, though, that what goes around comes around. Whoever did it will get what's coming to them, eventually . . . of course, if you have the chance to kick karma into a higher gear, then you go girl!


I'd just gotten a new job. About five days after I started someone called in to report I was a big drug user and a thief (to support my drug use). This was the kind of job where such allegations, even anonymous ones, are taken seriously.

I'm not saying I have never used drugs - I did as a teenager, but hadn't been around anything worse then alcohol in over a decade at that point.

I was called on the carpet about it. Of course none of it was true. I volunteered for a drug test on the spot (they had a policy of random tests anyway). I passed and that was the end of that.

I had no idea who it could have been. I did suspect one guy . . . his fiancee left him at some point, and I dated her for a year or so . . . but I had nothing to do their breaking up, nor was he in any way a friend of mine that I betrayed. My suspicions were reinforced a few months later - I was walking out of a K-Mart, and saw the guy getting out of his car in the parking lot. I started walking toward him, but he saw me and got back in his car and left. Coincidence? He was quite a way out in the lot . . . perhaps he didn't see me at all, and had just forgotten something? Nah . . . I'm pretty sure he saw me . . . and I tend to be too cynical to allow for coincidence. :-D

 

Some people should never be given positions of power because they do not know how to handle it.

A company i did some contract work for had a transport manager who was a really nasty piece of work, His idea of running the job was to let everybody know how important he was by swearing at all the personnel including a number of women and young girls.

He once called me on my mobile phone and started shouting and swearing about a client that i had yet to visit so i just closed the line, he called back about 6 times and the moment i heard the F word i put the phone down, when i got back to the office he called me in and started ranting about how i must respect his authority so my answer was " you earn respect not demand it"

Not long after that i finished my contract with the company but some time later i heard he had been demoted for harassment so there is justice after all.

 

I've got way too many to list, but what I've picked up from school, life, family, work, etc. is: people are people. The only thing you can trust em to do is be people. I trust em implicitly- with not one damned thing :-D

I give the ones I don't know a base level of respect (but no trust, per se) just because, and the ones I do know, I either trust to be trash or trust to not be trash (at least for a little while). roflmao

 

Yes, it does indeed suck when people have nothing better to do than spread malicious lies or victimize, in the hope of causing harm to others. Had one neighbour who obviously had some psychiatric issues try to cause some crap with the family, once. A Court Injunction soon silenced the nut-job, and a written apology from the Dept. followed.
But it does suck that one has to do such things just to be left alone. Oh yeah, the nut case was institutionalized in the State Mental Hospital not long after - go figure rolleyes .

 

What happened to the OP happened to my bus driver. She, that's right men, women can drive buses too (cars not so good *ducks* ) and she is a good woman who takes care of her kids.

Her ex-husband, who just got married again, now wants custody, though he didn't give a flying feckity feck about them until now. So he called CPS on them, said they were living in squalid conditions, blah blah blah, and basically put her through the same kind of hell this OP went through.

Honestly, people who do this stuff for illegitimate reasons would, in the world of MOTC7 receive a sure fire shoe in the nuttal region.

 

Put yourself up for Emperor of Earth and you got my vote.

 

I'm on the ballot for that this November.

 

When I worked at an assisted living center/nursing home when I was 19, the wife of one of our patients accused me of abusing her helpless and bedridden elderly husband.

He had difficulties speaking unless taking it slow (we quickly learned to understand him though), and neural symptoms and muscular atrophy that had led to loss of control of his limbs. He had a clear mind 99% of the time, and he loved jazz and blues, and was a big fan of boxing. My job as orderly/assistant was to help with the leg work. Basically I'd help showering, dressing, spoon feeding, clean their rooms... all the stuff you don't need a medical degree for but that has to be done in a place like that. When I went in to clean this particular man's room he was usually resting on his bed, and he used to ask me to put on music for him, never a specific artist, just "something good". He had a lot of Clapton, Armstong, and Davis, and several local bands in his collection, so I'd put on "something good" while I cleaned and leave it playing when I left since I could tell he enjoyed it. Or if it was that time of year, I would stay really quiet so I didn't bother him while he watched boxing on TV, and between rounds I'd talk boxing with him since he was the only person I knew who was interested in the sport.

This woman had never even seen me together with this man, and essentially accused me of hitting and deliberately hurting him in front of the entire staff and the family members of several other patients. I have no idea why, but it made me feel just a little bit better that the manager (who thankfully was there for other reasons) immediately took this woman aside and told her in no uncertain terms that if she had complaints she should come to her directly and not make public accusations like this.

The manager later told me that since she knew me and had seen me work, she didn't believe a word of what that wife had said, but that it would be easier for me if I was not near this man while the wife was visiting. I agreed, and stayed away. After a few weeks, the issue was no longer an issue but it was very upsetting to be accused of intentionally hurting a patient in such a public fashion. Matter of fact, I started looking for another job the day after it hapened.

 

Speaking of crappy neighbor. My landlord is my neighbor, and he just ask us to leave at the end of the month. With our little man now, it's getting crowded, but still moving sucks. I've been late on rent a few times over the last year, never more than 2 weeks, but we always paid. We planned on leaving as soon as we find something, just now we HAVE to find something. Him and his wife are yankees, so they're kinda' weird, but they always been nice.

 

Have you considered moving into a house? Have you ever had a mortgage before?

Reason why I say this is that Obama is apparently trying to stimulate the real estate market by giving breaks to first time home buyers so just a thought.


Congrats on the baby. I don't know you well, but good to hear you brought another little one into this world.

 

Thank you for the kind words. His is really something. He's 7 months old in a few days, and I already miss him being 3 months old.
Yeah, we've talked about it, and we are looking into it, just not in the ideal situation ATM.

 

RENATE!!!!! How the heck are ya!? Glad to see you're the same 'ol Wenchie (I hate people). :-D

Aren't you like expecting?:confused

 

I am! The third and final installment of the Wench Legacy! I was going to make an entire clone army and start an evil republic... but I got lazy.
