I have a pet peeve. Negativity. Gross generalizations. Disrespect of others. Does that count? :-)

I hate the game word wizard and I hate how much the board slows down in the afternoon.

It's a game, and it's called word wizard, and it irritates me, but I still play it. *sigh*

I know the feeling, I had co-workers like that but finally got rid of them. I had this one co-worker who was snooping in my email but couldn't prove, I starting shutting down my computer everytime I left it. Then I had this co-worker who would scream at the top of her lungs, one time she got so mad ready to call Security on her. She got upset that she I left a box in her "spot" flip out because of that I didn't know anything until after finding out the asst.director moved the box so the cleaning people could get around. She didn't say I am sorry either or get written up for that. WHich I thought she should. Asst. Director did say she sorry. She had this high and mighty attitude which I couldn't stand. She even yelled at me when she was on the phone and I didn't realize she was on the phone, so I said you don't have to yell at me. My life is so much peacefuler that these people left the office. They thought they should get upgrades, which didnt. Wonder why?

My gripe is small. I have a co-worker/friend who I have given a ride on occasion to her car dealership when her car has been in repair. So today my van is in repair and I need a ride from work to this dealership. I asked her and she said she couldn't because she was meeting her dad at Costco! I am hurt and a bit pissed about it. If she dropped me at the dealership, it would mean her getting to Costco a whole 3 minutes later. We have been friends for over 10 years, you would think I could just tell her about it but she is the type to get her feelings hurt.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Well, next time she needs a ride, you make sure you are meeting your mom at Costco!

Julieboo and Max, thanks. Except I'll tell her I am meeting my daughter (my mom died in 2004).

She hurt your feelings, but you're afraid to tell her because it will hurt her feelings. If she really is your friend, she should value your feelings the same way you value hers. (just my , and not very helpful, but I think your feelings are important, Denecee)

You need to tell her she hurt your feelings. If she is a real friend she will realize she was wrong, you can hug and move on. (If I was closer, I would take you anytime!!)

Aww that is so nice of you Mamapors, thank you.
Thanks to all of you for letting me vent that out yesterday. I made it worse by just not letting it go. She is a dear friend and I know that she has these little quirks. She gets a plan in her head and it is hard for her to veer from it. If it ever happens again, I will let her know that it hurts my feelings. This time, I am letting it go now.
Again, thank you for reading my gripe and responding. I love this place!

I work in a tiny department of 3 people, my boss, me and my co-worker of 6 months. During the past 6 months my co-worker has constantly called in sick. Her dog was throwing up, he aunt was ill, she had a stomach virus ... whatever! Now today, I sit here with my sinus cold and once again she calls in sick! She was fine yesterday! I can only hope that my boss see's through her and calls her on her absences. My day will be just fine without her here, it just pisses me off that this is how she works! She needs to GO!

Thanks for letting me vent!!

I had a co-worker like that. We worked together for over a year, and in that year she NEVER worked a 40-hour week. Can you believe that? Then, she went and got herself pregnant, so then she was doubly out all the time!

This isn't a gripe more like a question. Yesterday we got a call from a man that "found" our boat. It washed up into some woods and he ran across it yesterday. The thing is we sold that boat to a young man June 7th about 2 1/2 months before the hurricane hit. The new owner apparently never registered it into his name. Now we can't seem to contact the man who bought it from us. He doesn't seem to be on the coast any longer. The "woodsman" would like to keep and repair the boat. It's not our to say if he can keep it or not.

I know the young man took a loan out on the boat as I met him in the parking lot of the bank he also took out insurance because that is where he was headed after the bank. Now, he may have turned the missing boat in on insurance and paid the bank or maybe he didn't I have no way of knowing or really caring.

I just don't like it being still in our name that's how the "woodsman" found us. The boat is still registered to us and he called the State of Mississippi. I do have a copy of the bill of sale.

Here's my question do you think I am obligated to contact the bank and tell them where the boat is? Would you do that or would you just forget about. The boat is damaged as a boat that ends up in the woods would be.

you are not obligated to contact the bank, but you are obligated to contact DMV and make sure that the bill of sale was recorded. in California you have to send in a release and say who you sold it to. that way if something like this happens and the person who purchased it hadn't gotten to DMV to record it, at least you are not liable for damages, etc.

i know as this happened to a 69 mustang i had sold. the guy i sold it to never registered it, and the car ran him over a month later. he was in front of it priming the carburetor. but i had sent in the release. so although "technically" the car is registered still in my name it is also "released" from me. this way if any tickets ever showed up on it, etc. they aren't charged to me. btw, the man's parents own the car somewhere and put it and garaged it. i'd love to get that car back someday.

In addition to getting the boat out of your name with the state licensing authority, I think I would also contact the bank, and let them contact their customer to let him know the boat has been found. You are probably not obligated to do so. Or I would let the finder contact the bank, since you know which bank the purchaser financed with.

But yeah, get the boat officially out of your name at a minimum.

Thanks Landi and JuJu, my first order of business Monday will to be get that boat out of our name. I might have just let that part slide I'm glad you pointed out to me that wouldn't be a good idea.

I think I will contact the bank. If he hasn't paid it off yet they should have his contact number. Then he can let the woodsman know if he can have it or not.

My daughter is in the seventh grade. She told me her teacher gave the class a riddle to solve, and nobody got it. I was shocked because it was that old one where a father and son were injured in a crash and when they got to the hospital the docotor on call looked at the young boy and exclaimed, "I cant treat this boy, he is my son!" Of course the doctor is the boy's mother and this was a great puzzler to many way back in prehistoric times when women were trying to make a point. I just couldnt beleive that in this day and age, children couldnt figure out a doctor can be a woman! The teacher was trying to make that same old point to this generation.
