Have you ever encountered someone that offers you their opinion about yourself, your life, your work, your ideas, your car, your clothes, or WTFever they've noticed unasked? I bet you have. I bet you know that jackass that will jump into a conversation that has absolutely nothing to do with them and spout off their precious, gold-dipped opinion for everyone under the sun to listen to and then look at you like you're an idiot if you don't fall down on the floor and worship them for "their courage" in expressing themselves.

This leaves me laughing hard, and seriously wondering who you are.... Or rather your professional name... I'm sad that you won't tell us, cause I know I'm missing out on more awesomeness. *sigh*

Have we mentioned lately that we love and worship you?

You are made of awesome. But to be fair on the whole diaper thing, none of my three were completely out of diapers before 3 1/2. And my youngest could only be bribed with cash. No stickers or treats, just money.

So Snotty Chicklit Writer is Ouiser, huh? Does that make you Claree? Unsolicited opinions should only be praise or some kind of positive statement unless it's your best friend. I wish I could hide out in your coffee shop and just eavesdrop on your table. I'd give it away by snickering all the time though. I love the mental image of your eyebrow twitching ala Jack O'Neil's eyebrow trash talk in Human Nature. *smirk*

God I wish I could do this to the PR Director at my hospital. That woman will follow me into the bathroom and still keep telling me everything and then some. You would think someone in her position would have the knowledge to understand when someone does not care about her sleeping habits or when her last bowel movement was. If I didn't ask her a question and I'm not making eye contact with her, then why on God's green earth is she still talking to me???!!!

I'd ask you to come down and tell her off, but I'm afraid she is just so out of it that she wouldn't realize you were doing it. But at least you did get to tell off your unwanted "helper."

rofl. Did you tell her that you needed a little 'private time' because really? that's what going to the bathroom is. If you're actually having a conversation then that's understandable, but this? Wow.

Or you can do what I do when confronted with stuff like that: I stick my fingers in my ears and say, "TMI!!!! The world would be a better place if you didn't share that!"

I would never offer writing critique because I have zero writing experience and if she has none either she should not be telling you how to write!

That's incredibly rude of her, giving unsolicited critique. I last did this when I was fifteen and when I remember how I acted, it's still embarrassing. She's old enough to have a kid and she still does that?

LOL! It's a good thing that my comp is in another room than I usually sit at, because that made me laugh out loud and it is 8:48 in the morning here. My Mother and Grandmother won't care that i am 36, they will still spank me if I wake them up pretending to be a hyena. I loved that and it is going in my 'Chest of Wonderful Quotes'. I still cackle about you take on Dorothy.


Thanks

Oh hell yes! Which is why I haven seen or spoken to my father in five years and my mother & brothers in over 2 years. My life has been so much easier since they're not in it. Although, and you guys will love this one, when the parents cross over do I go to the funerals or not? It amuses my bff to no end that this is what I worry about when I could care less about the rest of it.

And how dare that little bitch criticize your work? She comes under my "were you born an asshole..." list. I may have to start a file of your comebacks to stupid people. While I'm laughing at what you said I feel better about myself.

Love it! I nearly wet myself laughing. I hate it when someone gives me 'concrit' that is basicly steering. From someone a third my age. Sounds like you and I have the same reaction.

And, yes, in the South, we do not tempt the crazy.

I love you. You are amazing and your attitude is like another person in the room....that I happily buy copious amounts of chocolate for.

I thought you should know that.

That sherlock vid is pure funny.

Also, your attitude is contagious because yesterday I basically told off my manager because the store director saw me doing my job 'incorrectly' and I didn't 'give the appearance of being busy' while I was doing it. So I told him, 'Fine...I will do it the 'correct' way if it makes Randy feel more secure even though my way is faster, less work and gets the same result."

My give a damn has been demolished by this job.

It takes balls to take your aunts private printouts and read them without asking.
It takes brass balls to leave a post-it and make it obvious that you snooped
it takes stupid to think it is alright to then think you are allowed to have an opinion on something you were never supposed to read in the first place

Well you can have an opinion, but you really should NOT express it publicly unless you want what she got.

She should have known better, if she actually read anything Kiera writes. This IS the woman who wrote "You do realize I'll have to go back to work to develop a scale so I can measure just how much I don't give a fuck what you think."

When I was twelve I had a teacher try to explain to me that I wasn't actually an immigrant and when I was sixteen I had a complete stranger interrupt my conversation with a friend of mine and inform me that I wasn't actually Hispanic. Both were so incredibly wrong that only Rodney McKay could properly say how wrong they were, but yeah. Some people are nosey dicks who never learned to shut the hell up about things they know nothing about.

I'm not sure what would be the worse reason for butting in to tell you what you're not:

1. "You're not an immigrant/Hispanic, you're a real American! You should be happy I'm freeing you of the stigma!"

2. "You are not worthy to claim the name immigrant/Hispanic! You should be ashamed of yourself!"

I've heard people say both and most sincerely mean it, and am of the opinion that either statement constitutes grounds for a thorough bitchslap.

Ha. Your description of the nosy opinionated person at the top sounded a lot like my sister, the one that doesn't get along well with the family, because not only does she "spout off their precious, gold-dipped opinion for everyone under the sun to listen to and then look at you like you're an idiot if you don't fall down on the floor and worship them for "their courage" in expressing themselves."--in fucking spades, but she gets so pissed when people don't follow her advice about everything that she says things she apparently thinks people should just forget about afterwards. We don't.

Your friend sounds like me. Old, retired, growing veggies in a big stupid hat, and willing to slice a piece of fiction into little bits. Though I don't use a red pen, I use MS Word's edit utility and use a red font.

As for the niece. She's young and obviously stupid. Maybe she'll learn not to do things like that. Maybe she won't.

My, SCLW's little niece is just full of her bad self, isn't she? You were a lot more polite than I would have been to someone who incurred the need to apologize then continued down the path that led to said apology.

Mmph. Kids these days.

I thought this would amuse you. I'm sitting in a McFonalds in Paris stealing their wifi and charging my phone up for a 13 hour train trip to Berlin. I'm trying to figure out how I will entertain myself for 13 hours when it hits me e-books! I decided to head to your site and download a couple cause they will keep me more than entertained >8). 1 problem, the McDonalds in Paris has blocked your site... It was all in French so not entirely sure why but the word, "Risqué" popped out.

You're to steamy for McDonalds customers in Paris. Ironic since this McDonalds is in fact located across the street from the largest sex store in Paris.

Wow. Just wow. I can't believe her. And while I admit that I have interjected an unsolicited opinion into a conversation once or twice, I have never gone so far as to assume that the person I'm talking to wants my opinion on their work; unless they imply or explicitly say they want my opinion, I'm not going to give it.

Even as a high school student I knew not to give my opinion unless someone asked for it. I was raised right. I imagine this girl was raised by wolves... or, more than likely, idiots.
