Irritation...

[Kaylara]

Have you ever met someone who was so absolutely annoying and obnoxious that their very voice makes your skin crawl?

Kaylara

[Arduinna]

you bet!

I even have some people that just their user name makes my skin crawl, not here though.

[shnen]

all the time! I have to work with half of them! ;)

seriously though... yes, of course I have, everyone has their nemesis' in the world...
I would be suprised if everyone liked everyone they met! :)

[Lavender]

Oh yes!!! :rolleyes:

[Myst]

Same kind of person who, everytime they go to speak, you have this extreme urge to scream "SHUT UP SHUT UP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SHUT UP!"...?

:D

*nods* and run screaming from the room!

[Myst]

actually the rest of mine is usually more violent :p

My boss's lunatic son hangs out in our lab all day, every day. He works like 5 hours a week, but he is ALWAYS here leeching off the free snapple and snacks and T1 connection.

It's awful, whenever he takes a breath I freeze and think to myself "Oh NO he's going to TALK AGAIN!!!!"

Lately he has taken to learning to play the violin in the lab. No kidding. We petitioned our boss to make him practice outside, but I think he's gotten complaints from our neighbors for that, so maybe we'll have some BLESSED PEACE for an afternoon. Is that too much to ask for?

[Lavender]

Isn't there some kind of law against practicing the violin in the workplace? If there isn't, there should be! Ouch! :eek:

[Myst]

You should take his instrument and beat him verily.

[Nyx]

It's worse when you have to live with people like that :rolleyes:

The Bill of Rights in the US Constitution protects us from cruel & unusual punishment -- which listening to someone learn the violin certainly qualifies as!

[Danustouch]

And, when you are done beating him verily, as Myst suggested, take the bow and shove it..........ummmmm....in his ear.

[Earthcup]

Have you considered de-stringing the violin and bow when he isn't looking?:eyebrow:

I do.

Makes getting revenge on them hard, doesn't it?

[Illuminatus]

He's my boss's son! I can't kill him! There's a rule against it or something in the company handbook. Whatever! I'm going to continue with my plan of making myself indispensable and gathering leverage so I can bleed my company a bit until they actually pay me what I'm worth. I can't afford to be fired in this economic climate, but they can't afford to lose amazing personnel such as myself.

[Kaylara]

I can't kill the object of my irritation... Or even really tell her how absolutely irratating she is... She's my mother in law, and I just have to hold my tounge... For the sake of peace in the house I am completely going out of my mind.


Kaylara

[Danustouch]

In laws...ahhhhhh...in laws. Funny, I can't find much good to say about mine..lol. So..I hear ya on that!

[Sowelu]

wHY...yES!.....My mothers X-husband....:)

[shnen]

my half brother - UGH!!!:mad:

At least tell your significant other. . . :) he may not like it, but he'll be aware of it and ought to respect it as your opinion, and maybe that way he can talk to his mother about whatever she does that irritates you so.

Granted she can't change her voice, but if she does something else that irritates you even worse, maybe he can talk her into not doing it? **Shrugs** It's worth a shot. All I know is, your peace won't last long if you keep all that stuff bottled in.

I know how you feel. I lived with my ex and his parents for awhile.

I think part of the reason he's an ex is because he never had any intention of moving out of their house either :rolleyes:

Tried that... Nothing works... She listens to construct and friendly criticism, and then completely ignores it.

I've learned to keep my mouth shut, just because I don't want to start a war in the house, but I swear... I don't want to get to the point where I blow up and her and bite her head off. This is driving me insane... I've never met anyone who is the antithesis of everything that I stand for, and I can tell you, I don't like it and I don't like having to live with it.

Kaylara

[Phoenix Blue]

. . .then don't? :) Is that an option?

Whose house is it, exactly?

[Kaylara]

My fiance's parents house... Makes things even harder... I've been trying to coax him into leaving for the past two years, and he has promised me to be out of there by September 1, but still... what do I do until then???

Kaylara

[Phoenix Blue]

**Nods** That's difficult, I know. Really difficult, in fact. . . but if you've been coaxing him for two years, I have to wonder if he gave you the September 1st date because he actually plans on moving out then, or just so he can put you off. . .

If I were in your position, I'd be very tempted to tell him, he needs to choose which woman he's going to spend the rest of his life with--you or his mother. But that's not a course of action I'd actually reccommend to anyone else. :)

Whatever may happen, I wish you good luck. ;)

[Kaylara]

He has no choice... If he decided that he is going to stay there after September 1rst, I'm moving out without... He already knows this...

Thanks for the well wishes though... I need them...

Even if she won't change, can't he run interference?

I mean, I'm sure he doesn't want his fiancée killing his mother, so it seems this would be in his own interest. :)

So... why can't he move until September 1?

Is it fear of leaving the nest? $$$ issues? Housing availability? His classes/new job starts then? What?

I can think of a lot of "reasons" for the delay, some more legitimate than others. At any rate, have you tried helping him overcome/find ways around these obstacles? Even if the reasons he gives are "excuses" (in your eyes at least), finding ways around them could help clarify the issue -- help him see that either 1.) It's easier than he thinks, or 2.) He doesn't want to and has no intention of doing it.

And if it's #2? Better for both of you to find out now, rather than later. Better a broken engagement than a divorce.

[Mythrel]

yes, but only one... my last boss could set the hair on the back of my neck on end just by walking into the room, let alone by opening his mouth and saying anything...so far in this lifetime he is the only one who has utterly and completely drove me insane...

Yes... I'm glad I don't have to go to school with them any more... I'm glad I only had that job for one summer... I swear..People *hate* me IRL...:rolleyes: There's like a whole group of them out to get me and I'm sure they gang up to report what bugs me..Okay, not really that extensive, but there are people out there (and many of them) who just bug the crap out of me, and I do the same to them. :evilway:

[Laiste]

Mother In Law...MIL...Mad Insane Lunatic!!! I feel for you Kaylara!!:( It's a bad situation to be in!

[Myst]

Strangely I love my in laws. And not just because they're giving us a house, dining room set, and living room set, for a wedding present ;)
