This isn't a joke. This is serious curiousity, so please refrain from doing your usual fun thing of answering sarcastically. I just wonder how many people (if any) think *this* is ever an option...
Mkay. It's been a loooong, rough day. Thought I got all my journaling out of my system, am prepared for tomorrow...and of *all* the FREAKIN' CONTROLLING/STUPID, MAN-SUPERIOR things to say was uttered to me. Something I haven't heard since freakin' grade school (or no, wait -- the WARDEN; EVEN WORSE).
HOLY SHIT. NO ONE. IN THIS WORLD. HAS THE RIGHT TO EVER. EVER. FREAKIN' EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR tell me to shut up, particularly when I'm TRYING to get things done and go to bed.
Man. Talk about killing absolutely any respect I might've had for that person. Boom. Just like that. I thought only kids (or total psychos) were STUPID enough to say "shut up," and worse -- really mean it. LOL. No, wait. I take that back. I know 11-year-olds who're more mature.
Unreal. I'm seriously sitting here, not BELIEVING someone had the tenacity to say something so...ridiculously disrespectful and for totally selfish and also deceptive reasons in the first place.
1. I wanted to go to bed. I NEED sleep. Bad. Those of you who know me, definitely understand (or so I hope/think).
2. I expressed this.
3. While expressing this, was told to SHUT UP AND LISTEN.
4. This is my ass. This is my ass walking OUT THE DOOR.
Friends? It would take some SERIOUS ass-kissing and begging forgiveness for me to get over this one.
Girls and guys? A word to the wise. Never EVER tell anyone to "shut up." It makes you wonder what kind of grown up/friend/PARENT (sadly) would say that, or if they even QUALIFY. See? This is the very definition of "divorce." I can't think of *any* girl here, or elsewhere who'd deal with that, not even during 'bedroom sports.'
I'm really open-minded, respectful, sometimes overly-eager to communicate (but in a positive way), never judgmental. Sure, I get cranky, particularly when I feel bad (physically) and have had a rough day. But I don't take it OUT on anyone. In fact, I'll go in to hiding if I know I am too tired/in pain/sleepy to communicate. One fact remains: I *will* be respected above and beyond ALL things in *my* world. There is not one human on this PLANET who has the right, or ever WILL, to say that to me.
Even if it was "joking" it wouldn't have been funny. And what precipitated it? A hidden agenda (which I REALLY don't give a rat's patootie about; this is what my lil friend didn't "get"...lolol...SO? I CARE YOU'RE BEING SNEAKY BECAUSE??). I think...not.
People. Can't help but lose faith in them when they show how big of a jackass they really are. I love my friends; but not ONE of them has EVER told me to "shut up" nor would they.
And you can bet your last dollar that will never be said to me again, and gotten away with. Ohhhhhhh no. Not ever. Right now, I'm trying real hard to contain a very childish anger in response to such idiocy.
Okay. Glad I got all that out of my system. I feel better now. :-D
Define "friend."
Be it. Or get out of my life. Very simple, even for the village idiot.
Your participation is greatly appreciated, as always. :)

SHUT UP.

You smell a rat. But you're tired, and don't want to deal with it (nor really CARE). So...
Really need to go to bed, and expect friends to understand, and say "bye."

Hang around to placate someone ELSE; they NEED to explain why they're being sneaky.

You've been told to shut up. So NOW, you're too angry to sleep. You create a poll.

You disappear. Temporarily.

Honestly; what's the *worst* thing that someone could say to you, and make you feel you're being disrespected?
Is "shut up" ever a REAL option to say to someone, even in jest?
Never. Unless they still speak in clicks and grunts and know no better.

I dont however tell people I respect to shut up in any serious situation.
It WON'T be tolerated by me.
Let's say Clay did something a little "sly"...you question him about it (after telling him you're EXHAUSTED and need sleep...bad). You plead your case, explaining you're exhausted and he says "shut up!" He's serious. He really REALLY wants to explain why he's being sneaky.
How well would that bode?
That is just me though.
Okay. Scenario two: you have someone who is a friend. A male friend. He's not kidding, and tells you to "shut up" because he's trying to explain...questionable behavior that HONESTLY you're too tired to listen to, and seriously don't CARE about (really...you don't care; you just want/need to go to bed, because work comes early, etc. etc.).
Is there EVER a justifiable reason for a MAN to tell a WOMAN to shut up, particularly one he "likes" or calls "friend"?
if it occured he would get directions to the door.
Men, on the other hand, want to control us. SOME men. And we ALL KNOW how *I* HATE that, friend, acquaintance, whatever. NO MAN. WILL EVER. HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL ME TO SHUT UP.
That's just how *I* see it. Even if I was madly in love, I don't even feel it would be an issue. I honest-to-God couldn't LOVE someone who even *thinks* on that low-level mentality. But that's just me. UNREAAAL.
Gads, I'm worn out now :-D Poll was a good idea. LOL :)
Both times I did exactly that, and to this day, have never spoken to either of them again. I see both of them occasionally and both still try to apologize and "explain".
Its unforgivable in my book. Even my hubby wouldn't tell me to shut up, under ANY circumstances.
If anyone even came *close* to having "the right" to tell you to shut up, it would be someone who freakin' supports you 100%; and even THEN, NO. It is abuse, plain and simple (I wish I could find the link to that document which listed this as one of more severely abusive terms).
Yeahhhh. So right. AND I was blocked/hidden/trying to go to bed. Go figure. I'm sorry; but only KELSEY supersedes sleep and even then, she's respectful enough to let me go to bed when *I* want to.
With any luck, my "nothing to do but laundry" Sat will hold up.
Will you be around?
It's also very controlling and abusive behavior (still looking for the article I read not too long ago about the "key words" in verbally abusive situations -- not that I *need* a guideline). If it makes you feel bad, triviliazes you, demeans you, degrades you, feels controlling and/or inappropriate, then it shouldn't be tolerated. Ever. I know *I* won't deal with it; in fact, I can't remember when anyone in real life told me to shut up (even as a child, I don't think anyone did). So...omg...blood pressure, through the roof, end of story. Ugh.
The unknown variables are too risky for me. Not that I'm afraid *I*'ll get hurt, but moreover, that I'll take someone ELSE out. We all know how I am. :D LOL.
Whoops... ;)
Hahahaha.
BLAM! "Stop!" BLAMBLAM "Or I'll shoot!" BLAM
It's a good thing I'm NOT in law enforcement, because I'd probably have the highest fatality (or at LEAST disability) rate goin' on in my department. ;-)
"We would have believed your story that this was an accidental shooting except for the fact that you reloaded your revolver twice..."
Yeah -- admin leave. I need that NOW.
Indeeeeed. But they've gone away now. Well, at least they've stopped commenting. LOL. They're STILL READING (I've been checking the ole code...pfft). ;-)
YES I DO. AND HOW.
