Why, people? Why?

22 04 2009

I just don’t understand what people gain by being nasty and rude to people they don’t even know. Even more so, what gains do people get from being nasty and rude to people (behind their backs) that they don’t even see EVER? I guess I just don’t get why someone would say awful things about someone behind their back when they have no reason to ever interact with that person and have no clue what that person does at any minute of his/her life.

What’s the point?

Yes, it got back to me. The sad part? Your opinion means nothing to me, because I never see you and I don’t even know you!

Mean people suck. I think they just have sad, boring lives.

I don’t understand how this person has the time to be nasty about how good of a job I’m doing (when she used to do this job and couldn’t handle it, so she quit because “no one person could do all that!” Well, sorry to say, I can and I do “all that” and more!) She has a family, so you’d think she’d spend more time actually spending time with her family instead of ruminating about her old job that’s going splendidly. (My boss told me yesterday that hiring me was the best decision she ever made, so I’m thinking I’m doing okay in my job. ;) )

GRRR! Mean people DO suck, Nicholas. How do they have time to be mean-spirited all the time?

I agree, Nicholas. I always feel like it takes more effort to be mean and nasty than it does to be nice (I KNOW this is true of some of my students: they put more effort into where their grade ends up at the end of the semester-i.e., what extra credit can I do to get my grade up, how much can I whine to my teacher or his department head about my grade, etc.- than they put into their work during the semester).

Blech, just doesn’t make sense.

“I always feel like it takes more effort to be mean and nasty than it does to be nice”
I definitely agree with this, Neal. I think that’s why mean people always seem so worn out and bedraggled

I agree. I’m feeling like this lately from my ex-boyfriend’s family. They interfere so much and they hardly know me. It’s sad.
