Do you call people out?

Post Reply New Topic

People hate me for this. When I see someone doing something they shouldn't, I tattle. LOL Tattling is basically what it is. I got in trouble for it when I was a kid and tried to not tell on people, but then I got into politics... When I see someone abusing the system for personal gain, I call them on it and they have to stop or they get into trouble.

But it goes beyond there. At my home, where I live all day long, I have to put up with neighbors who aren't careful with their trash (so it blows into my yard and I have to pick up their filth), they don't maintain their property reasonably (twice, their water main has broken because it's not buried deeply enough for the occasional freeze and they didn't fix it for 9 months the first time and 6 months the second - making their property and mine, a mosquito-filled swamp in the middle of the desert. We don't usually have mosquitoes here.) They can't keep their dogs in their yard - dogs kill ALL my chickens and attack me and I'm the bad guy because I called animal control. They want to do illegal things like riding their motorcycles in their yards - which covers my home with a brown dirt cloud every time - and my father has issues with COPD and pneumonia. It's like it never ends. I'm the victim but because I call people out, they turn things around and I end up seeming like the abuser - for wanting people to stop dumping their trash in my yard...

I take it for as long as I can and then I call the authorities. I hate calling the cops on my neighbor's kid for riding his dirt bike, but we just can't have the dirt being dumped on us.

A man belittles his wife viciously in public, I have to say something and almost get my head knocked off.

The mayor uses his podium to assassinate the character of his personal rival and I'm the one who has to tell him it's inappropriate.

A cop pulls me over and lies... OMG. SHUT YOUR MOUTH GIRL!

I probably rattled a few cages in school...
Probably went too far with some of them but I was one for avoiding trouble... though if I was to be caught then I would have probably been kicked out of school...
I do sort of regret what I did which was passing the buck... though at the time I only considered myself and nobody else, now though I wish I did.

I don't tattle, but I will publicly shame people. And, let's be honest. nothing feels better/is wussier than throwing a little shade when you can't shout "WTF!"

Yes, I will do this. If someone is doing something wrong, then it is only right that it is brought to their attention or to the attention of the relevant authorities. I like to play 'by the rules' and I expect the same of others. I know that it doesn't make me popular, but I do not care much about this.

Aye, i think i do call people out... Not on many things cuz im quite laid back, just some things you just gotta. As long as you restrict yourself to stuff that is genuinely out of order, screw them, they deserve it.

I have a tendency to call people out when they lie to me. Women in particular hate that. Probably a good reason I am still single too. When I do call people out on lies, they will likely try and justify it for whatever reason they want. Some might tell me that I could not handle the truth. Yeah, because being lied to for a period of time and then having the truth revealed feels soo much better, right?
When it comes to calling people out, that is pretty much when I do it. I won't call people out unless I know it will have an effect on me in a major way. Sometimes you may have to think mind over matter in the event that it does not affect you much or at all.

Yep sure do. I don't always though because I don't want a drama or a confrontation. Some people get very pissed when you call them out so they get nasty with you and start bullying you because you hurt their pride. I have been there. It's all about picking your battles. If someone has an anger issue or shows a history of it, who knows what they may do to you if you call them out. I find it better if I open word pad when it happens on forums and type in my response and delete it just to let it out of my system. I know if I tell it to their faces, it be ugly. Plus it may be breaking the rules because it be seen as trying to provoke a member which is against the rules here. I found out that calling someone out is considered a personal attack. Always be careful when you call someone out. Online it may not be as big of deal unless you can put up with being trolled or bullied by them and have a strong heart.

I called my ex out all the time and he was defensive every time and always had excuses. I noticed a contradiction and would point it out or notice him being a hypocrite so I called it out and he make excuses for it. Contradictions I would call out, he get defensive about.

But I don't call strangers out because I don't know if they have an anger issue and who knows what could happen. The least worst that can happen is them yell at me and tell me to my mind own darn business. The worst be they assault me. Like if I see someone smoking in the wrong spot or they litter, I say nothing even though it annoys me. I have heard worse stories like a stranger grabbing a dog off a lady's lap and throwing it out on the other side of the road and he got hit by a car. The dog died because the woman didn't know the area so she didn't know where to find a vet clinic. They had some ugly confrontation on the road and he took her dog and threw it out in the traffic.

I call people out all the time. Even customers at work when they try and get over on me. I really don't care how it makes me look to them. I know I'm honest.
