Is something bothering you?

Post Reply New Topic

Just found this fun comic strip and thought i might share it.
BTW what do you do when someone does something that bothers you?

if somebody bothers me, i put distance between myself and the offender.

Thanks, that is hilarious.

CBT to a T!

I quite liked John Cougar Mellencamp.

Hmm, not getting the comic. It's just showing how NT's think, isn't it? They are inconsistent and have in-congruent emotionally driven ideas. I always thought it was because NT's don't "think" about what they believe. They just spout out some meme or dogma that somebody else told them and don't realize that it directly conflicts with some other belief or moral they hold.

Except for being violent, people can't really do anything that bothers me. They live in their world, I'll live in mine. You can do whatever you want in your world, just don't infringe on my space, and we're all cool. Otherwise I just leave.

Like hygiene. I don't like smelly people. It's distracting. But that was among the reasons I choose to get a college degree. Post college careers are with people who believe in some modicum of bathing. Even among the H1B's I work with, they quickly learn that to get along in the USA, they need to up the bathing frequency from the norm in their own country. Two a week is usually enough to avoid noticeable stench even if American's are compulsive with daily or even twice or more daily showers. Talk about drying your skin out.

But if a person just does stupid stuff. Say, an obese person who constantly drinks full sugar pop while eating chips at their desk day in and day out. It's not my problem if they are giving themselves diabetes. I don't like what it's doing to my health insurance rates, but how am I going to fix a problem like that? I can't, so I don't worry about it. Well, ok, I'll make snarky comments when I can and think about leaving them nasty-gram notes. But I learned not to do stuff like that - keeping my job is more important than showing other people the mistakes they are making.

I don't get the joke either.

I don't get the joke either. I mean I understand the points, but it's not ha ha funny really.

Also, the OP did have the following question:

I've been smelly and was told showers were necessary...ha
