Wild horses did drag her away, once - long story

Dear lady who backed out of the house contract --

Why did you waste our time? You saw the house four times over the course of several weeks before you made the offer, we allowed you to see an earlier inspection report so you would know what others had thought of the house, let you hire your own inspector, then you lowballed us terribly and then complained that we weren't willing to fix certain things (please remember that the house next door to us is priced $210,000 *more* than our price and the house two doors down on the other side of the street is priced almost $500,000 more than ours is, which should show you it's a really good neighborhood, and the house is in basically good structural shape if not perfectly restored, because if it was perfectly restored, we would be asking a LOT more, like our neighbors are -- why is that so hard to understand??!!), took a week to sign the accepted counter offer because you were up at the lake and needed more time to think, then decided you didn't want the house and so pulled out of the deal. Why did this process take you over two months? I am beginning to suspect that you are just an indecisive, lying, whiny b***ch with more money than sense. Just a hunch.

Pissed-offedly yours,
me

Dear you -

I'll do as you ask gladly, and thanks for making me feel good about myself.

I know that people are shy about spending money right now, but why do so many people forget that their behavior affects those around them? Shall I stomp them for you?

Nope. Just means I'm getting into more and worse and deeper debt... But no, we are here, I am registered for school, I am a new hire in the county school system (and my contract is supposed to be mailed to me next week, but all my other paperwork is fine). We are bashing on regardless and scrimping on every penny. And did I mention getting into worse debt? Oh well.

And thanks Batwoman. It isn't so much the money thing that bothered me, it was the time she took up. Because we had several people not come see the house once they found out it was under contingent contract, and then she backs out of the contract about something we'd already discussed and she already knew about.

**hugs to 'Fins and Batty**

You know what? I have learned to embrace the word "whore." Oooh, and "Slut." I like to have sex. I have some pretty wonderful friends that I like it with. So I embrace "whore" and "slut" wholeheartedly. When you learn to embrace "crazy" and "bitch" we'll be even.

MBW--try having a name similar to a state. then try living in/near and sometimes working in that state. and, although a rather famous person also had this name, people who don't confuse you with the state invariably mispronounce, misspell, or just plain forget your name.

Person who nearly ran me over yesterday:

I've already called you a bunch of names, and put a least one or two curses on your wretched hide. Now, I just want to be rational -- something I definitely was not yesterday.

The pedestrian light was not working. I crossed on your red light. A red light, I might add, that was too -- entirely too brief. So, I slowed down to make sure you and your other fellow cars did not run me over when you gunned that light, which I'm not entirely sure or not that you waited for to turn green.

At worst, you wanted to gun through a red light into a pedestrian. At the very best you forgot one basic tenet:

The pedestrian always has the right of way.

Always.

What that means, is that you wait until I cross and then you go. It does not mean you curse at me. Or harass, and scare me with your horn and the proximity of your car. It means you wait until I cross and then you leave. Calling me an idiot twice will not make me cross any faster or serve you any purpose but to stoke up the clearly obvious road-rage that you suffer from -- a rage that will one day leave you in a car accident, I'm damn sure. This is not a curse. It is an observation.

And yes. I am perversely proud of the fact that as I passed, I gave you the finger and called you an asshole. Because I am at the stage in my life where I do not tolerate bullshit from idiots like you. Maybe it wasn't mature, but as I know from experience there is nothing worse than being angry at something you can do nothing about -- while you sit there and grind your teeth uselessly.

Right of way, asshole. Next time, you might want to swear at the people who made the street. Or the light. Or the society that created your kind.

I'll waste no more time thinking of you. Good bye.

*hugs and anti-eejit vibes for everyone* Grace - that just sucks, I'm so sorry she wasted your time and got your hopes up.

Mythos - I'm very glad you didn't get squished! and MBW- you just know that I'm gonna be tempted to call you Bob from now on. Smile

People mangle my name as well - even my screen name - Either they don't know how to pronounce it or it becomes "Mauve". The oddest pronunciation for my real name was just recently - I got called back at the chiropractor's and she said "Lah-oo-rail-ee-ah Bod-lee?" um... no.

To all my close folks in Cincy:
Did you know today was my birthday? Mom, Dad, Brothers, Best Friend, Nieces, Nephew, Cousin, Aunts, friends? There is no better way to make a person feel special than to completely ignore them on their birthday. Thanks. Considering some of you text me three or four times a day, it's especially sad that I have not recieved one call, one text, one email. I guess I could have called all of you. But I shouldn't have to. It's my freakin birthday!
Thank you all, you suck.
-Me
