In response to my previous post
I'm not sure what it is. I used to get a long so well with the other girls from work, but for the last couple months, and with one especially, it is so hard.
I can only hear the same stories and the same complaints so many times before it just starts to grate on my nerves. The attitudes and feelings of entitlement set me on edge. I'm older than they are, so this might be part of it, but I don't know.
Quote from happy hour last night (which wasn't directed at me- just part of their conversation). "I can't believe you shop at Marshals. When I think of Marshals I think of poor people. So I know I said the place might smell, but it actually might not. I just think of poor people, and you know how they always have a ton of kids. I just think it smells like diapers. This is sort of how I'd NEVER set foot in a Wal-Mart and I refuse to shop at a Target unless it's the 2 story ones. They just have so much nicer stuff"
This preceeded the legalization of pot conversation and how she's had 3 experiences where she thought she was going to die (a story I've heard no less than 5 times)
It just sets me on edge. As you can tell i'm talking specifically about one person, but it applies to a couple of them.
I've recruited people to help paint a wall at a coworkers house on sunday, and she's one of them. Apparently she thinks i'm "so freakin' rude" (quote) because I didn't explicitly volunteer to drive her. I assumed it was a given that I'd drive, so a mistake on my part I guess. But it just seems so silly. I have a really hard time hiding when I'm annoyed with someone, I think because it doesn't happen too often. I'm so laid back for the most part.
When this has happened before I just stop seeing them for a while until I'm over it. But I work with her, so I see her allll the time.
I kind of just want to punch myself in the face.
