In our Condo's laundry room was a mom with her 2 small children. One was in the stroller and the moment they entered the other child was crying because she wanted to be in the stroller. Mom placed her in the stroller and carried the other one. Minutes later, the one in the stroller wanted to be out and to be carried. This went on for another cycle of "I want to be where he is" and the mom spoke to me saying "Oh, kids".But it's not only kids who does this. In my workplace there is somebody who requests for any reference book that he notices other staff has. On seminars, he checks if he received the same "freebies" that you got.
It's cute when kids do the "I want what he has" tantrum - but when adults do it - what comes to your mind?
i find it annoying. i always want to say, "get your own stuff." sounds rude, i suppose, but i hate being pestered by people who consistently refuse to do their own legwork and want someone else to "figure it all out" for them. i wonder if anyone can tell i've had a bad day?
ReplyDeleteDo your co-workers read your blogs? LOL.
ReplyDeleteI know somebody like that too and it is the most annoying thing ever!

ReplyDeleteD!
I have written more controversial posts about them (which I have already removed). This one is lame because I am kind.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the quote "I'll have what she's having". What movie was it?
ReplyDeletei write about my work, but i have not shared about this blog i just started with anyone. not even my family. i wanted a place i could write and connect with people outside my circle without fear of reprisal.
