Among the several on on my pet peeves list, the Top One perhaps is about the KKK....yep...you heard it right, folks - -
Gasp away, but The LadyX is definitely down on the KKK - -
as in the Konstant Komplainer Korps....
You know the type - totally self-absorbed, believing the Universe is all about him/her, and therefore everything in their surroundings MUST BE PERFECT; AS THEY KNOW THEY ARE! - and designed to PLEASE THEM.
Whether it is the weather - their food - the size of a gnat's tooth (checking to see if you are awake and getting this..:)) - All Things must pass their muster/standards/desires...
My first encounter with them was in childhood in Florida.
Reared to be polite and considerate and caring and never critical, in Florida one was too often subjected to pathetic, suffering 'Transplants from Other Worlds.'
"Oh, it so HOT here" - ignoring the lovely breeze and the fact it often has been or has seemed hotter in the asphalt jungles from whence they came! - and that they left because of the long periods of snow to shovel and ice to scrape, and the stresses and physical discomfort those brought them.
The Endless List verbally goes on and on, and they seldom have anything pleasant to say!!
They simply DO NOT CARE about you, or anyone else but their own miserable selves.

I WORK WITH HER!!!
She also thinks that we all work FOR HER! "Can you do this for me?" -- "Actually NO - do it yourself!! I have a job and it's not based around helping you!" - is always my first thought.
We started the same day - she's still trying to find out where her secretary is! We don't have one. If you want supplies, don't ask me for a pen - go to the supply cabinet. Responsibility is your friend.
...chick part (boys don't bother reading)
We had an off-site meeting the other day. She needed a tampon. The hotel machine was out. She actually COMPLAINED TO THE HOTEL MANAGER. I said to her, "Why didn't you bring one from home!? - you knew you'd need it!!! The Hotel Manager actually walked her into the gift shop where he bought her a box. I was appalled at her "queen-like" behavior. Ridiculous!

I hate people like that.

Darn - this feels good. I like this thread.
Yep! We've surely all known a few KKK's! :) Good rant, LadyX!
Let me expand on your rant. When they can't take the heat any longer they come up here, we call em halfbacks for the obvious reason. They all want to build on top of a mountain - and do. Mountains views for the rest of us are soon to be - history.
