Working With Unstable People

[GabyKeepsMeWarm]

Man... these folks are such a pain in the ass.

There's a guy that relieves me from work two days a week, and I relieve him in the middle of those two days. Our interaction is typically no more than five to ten minutes, depending on what rant he gets me stuck in the middle of, to which there is often no real escape.

It gets so goddamn annoying placating this guy, and people like him. These ****ers are exhausting. They don't recognize normal social cues. It's all about them and their petty little grievances with the whole world coming after them. And they never realize what an imposition they are. Hair-trigger emotions, always having to walk on eggshells. Last week, his ride was ten minutes late, this week some truck cut him off, week before, his wife wants to sell the house... On and on and on...


There. That's me imposing this guy's bullshit, and regurgitating it on you, just like this ****ing guy.... Hahaha...

I worked with a former Denver DT for about 9 months. Awesome guy. I was happy for him when he made it but hated he made it with Denver.

Yeah. My mom and I have an ongoing joke about my magnet for looney birds because I just have that “thing” when I listen and empathize.

Maybe I was a therapist in a former life?

Okay. Thanks?

There you go.
Good job.
Next step is empathy.

You know you're basically Nurse Ratched, right? You rarely have anything to say, but you just love to dip in and judge, judge, judge... You're boring. And you're not as smart as you think you are.

I await your next cute little belittling comment...

You should probably turn them in to CPS...or the police

I've spent slightly over 15 years working with the CP Mods and I have survived.

So will you OP.......

Hey his mama and him worked hard on that post.

[threebag]

Do you ever relieve each other at the same time, or is it always one or the other?

I would definitely add One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest to your must watch list.
