I don't find mean people on this BB.

Some are opinionated, which is better than passive and others direct rather than diplomatic. None are mean unless they're posting on the forums I never read.

That would include me.  I'm opinionated.  But I am picked on for it.  I don't fit the clique here.  I don't care about being in with clique's.  I get pounced on by many.  Lucky you @occasionalrain .  I was of course speaking for myself and no one else.

@gertrudecloset 

Oh, I've been pounced upon from time to time.

I don't mind, it means they're on the defensive, losing the debate.

@occasionalrainI know, but geez it's so childish.  I thought the majority here were my age group 50+.  Thanks for your reply!

Mean people that you don't even know on message boards.  They might be nicer if I act like them, though.  NOT.   Pick, pick, pick.  Here comes another one to pick, pick, pick.  Not going away though because you pick, pick, pick.  Just going to get my fly swatter!

I'll give as good as you give and many times better.  That's my rule (my mantra for life).  Respect is earned from me.  Not a given just because you're here. 

Treat people the way You would want to be treated.  I live by this to a fault.

Thanks for starting this thread topic.

@gertrudecloset   You're welcome.

Have a good night!!

Peeves? That would be my husband of 46 years (today especially).

I don't like anyone dropping by without an invitation (or phone call).

@froggy 

I don't either .... SO inconsiderate to just "stop by".  Why would anyone ever think that was okay?      .

Top Two

Poor quality.

Bad customer service.  

Others

Dropping in unexpectedly...inviting themselves when they weren't invited. 

Receiving advice when they weren't asked. 

Not accepting "no" for an answer.

Doing something that clearly involves me when asked not to do it.  

Wanting to talk on the phone for hours assuming I have nothing to do all day.  

Nosy neighbors. 

Pushy personalities.

Putting words in my mouth that I didn't say. 

Not following instructions even though I ask them to take notes.  

Landscapers not getting the edging straight.  Wow,  that bothers me.  I can do it, why can't they?

@Foxxee 

Foxxee, you need to hang around with different people .... well, at least consider it.

Foxxee, you need to hang around with different people .... well, at least conasider it.  

@Tinkrbl44 

It's interesting you make the assumption I do hang around with them.  

Of course, I don't. 

However, I worked with a few.  Met some during brief encounters.  What about that obnoxious relative?  They are on social media, even here. 

We can run into them anywhere.
