You know what really gets under my skin? When someone pretends to like you. If you don't like me that's fine, but don't pretend to like me. That annoys me. My next door neighbor does this. One minute she likes me and calls me her friend and that I'm like family and then the next second she has deleted me off her Facebook and gives me dirty looks. What are we, 10 years old? Last time I check I was 23 and she was like 27 or something like that. Waaaaay older than 10. And it really irks me because I have so done quite a bit for her and her kids. If I made extra cookies or some other kind of dessert I would give some to them, anytime they needed medicine and they didn't have any and came over asking if I had some I would give it to them, I went out of my way and took her daughter to the gym with us to help her lose weight. Or I should say tried to take her daughter to the gym with us. Her daughter was always bailing on us and not telling us she wasn't going to go that day so we would wait around for her and then miss our gym time because the mom and her daughter would never freakin' tell us the daughter wasn't going that day! Oh, and then the mom asked me to drop her daughter off at tutoring after the gym (on the rare occasions she did show) and guess what, I did that too! And then when I told the mom that we couldn't take her daughter anymore the mom had the nerve to say "I'm sorry she was such a burden." ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?!! Never did I once say that she was a burden for going! She was a burden because she WASN'T going!!!
And THEN the other day their dog got out into the alley and so I asked my husband to go tell her. Well, by the time she got back to the alley her dog had disappeared down the alley and so she had to go look for the dog. (Dog's name is Macy) So, because my babies have disappeared a few times and I know how scared I get I decided to help and I ended up finding Macy and bringing her home. She said thank you and all was good. Then a couple days later she ignored me while my husband and I were talking to her husband (who is a really cool guy) and then deleted me off her Facebook. I hadn't even spoken to her since finding her dog and she was all of a sudden pissed off at me. Really? Freakin' stupid.
Oh, and then yesterday my husband and I were in the front yard hosing Tomee off to help her cool down and my neighbor decides she's going to talk to me again. Seriously? Make up your damn mind! And don't pretend you like me if you don't! I don't care that we aren't friends and I don't care that she doesn't like me. I didn't not like her, but I didn't go out of my way to talk to her anymore either. We were cordial. Which was fine with me because we don't plan on living here forever and as soon as we leave this state, we probably won't keep in touch with many people here. My husband might keep in touch with a few of his friends and that's because they were deployed together so they have a different kind of friendship, but pretty much anyone I know here is gone from my life the second I leave. To be cordial is one thing, but they were saying I was like family and then turning on me the next second. That's what made me mad. If you're turning on me that easily then I truly was not your friend which means you really didn't like me and were pretending to which is what pisses me off.
And I like kids. I like them a lot, but when they are my neighbors kids and they feel the need to just pop over whenever they want even after they have seen me on the phone, that's rude. Her daughter saw I was on the phone and still decided that would be a good time to come over and tell me something I already know and then get mad at me when I say I'm on the phone and can't talk right now. Her kids don't know how to respect others privacy either. When my husband was deployed last year, the kids came over every day for a month, pounding on my door EXPECTING to come in! Really?! This woman needs to teach her damn kids some manners.
Like I said I don't care that she and I aren't friends anymore. I'm just bothered when anyone claims they like me and then outta blue they don't anymore. Obviously, you didn't really like me in the first place, so why pretend that you did? To me that's just too much work for someone I don't like. If I don't like you then I don't like you. Plain and simple. I'm not gonna waste my energy pretending. I have better uses of my time and energy than to use it on someone I don't like.
I just had to vent about this. Is there anything that you guys need to vent about?
Until next time...
Katie :-)
Oh, my husband is going to help me tonight with some stuff on here, so hopefully it will look different this time tomorrow. :) Hope everyone has a great day! :)
