Ungrateful People

Once again, I am writing on something completely different today. I apologize for this little deviation and rant, and break from my norm. I had planned on writing something else for today, but something happened that really pissed me off and got my ire up. I am not one to be bullied or to be taken advantage of. I had just have to vent and get this off my chest.

I am so sick and tired of this ungrateful society we live in! I am so sick and tired of all these people who think they are entitled to things, and if they don’t get exactly what they want, when they want it, then they rant and scream and throw a temper tantrum and expect others to cave in to their demands. What has happened to common curtesy? What has happened to “thank you”? What has happened to our society? What has happened to our world?

Last week I posted something as a favor to someone, to help them out, or so I thought. Despite the technical difficulties on my end, I could not publish it exactly the way this person expected, but the post received a lot of positive feedback and comments, which I would think would still be considered a successful post. I even mentioned it in my post it that I could not get it to come out exactly how it was intended, and I apologized for it, but left the links so people could go to it if they wanted. This morning I received an email from this person expressing how unhappy they were about my post and demanded that I take it down because “a lot of effort had gone into it and [I ] should have posted it exactly the way [they] wanted it to be”. Too bad, so sad. I did my best. Grow up! If my best isn’t good enough, well then so be it. Find some else to help you out. But DO NOT be so ungrateful for a favor and then demand that I take it down just because it wasn’t what you were expecting or hoping for! This person is just being a bully and acting like a spoiled and entitled brat, and I WON’T stand for it, especially on my own blog, on my own platform! So, sorry, NOT SORRY! This person can kiss my A$$! I guarantee you, I AM NOT GOING TO REMOVE IT! Rarely do I get this riled up, but when I do, watch out! I have a temper and I have plenty of fight in me. When I am backed into a corner, I come out fighting, and I fight hard, and either I win or we both go down! Either way, someone will be bloodied in the end. And most of the time, it’s NOT ME!

OK! Now, I have that off my chest, I apologize once again for my rant, but sometimes it just has to happen. Let’s all try our best to enjoy the rest of the day and hopefully make it a good day, despite all the negativity that surrounds us. ‘Til next time.

    1. Thank you. Unfortunately there are a lot of mean, spoiled people out there. We can’t please them all, and I don’t even try any more. I write for me, and if other people like what I write, great. If not, I move on. But I WILL NOT be bullied. All that’s going to do is piss me off even more, and I will just keep on doing what I’m doing even more. 🙂

  6. This person isn’t worth being angry or irked out. Delete the post that praises them. Actually, don’t delete it… edit it. Take out everything that promotes their work that was posted on YOUR blog in a way they didn’t want and just change it to “post removed due to OP’s temper tantrum in response to a favor” and save. Being naughty is way more fun than being angry lol

  8. I am sorry, darling, that you had to spend your time and nervous energy on this unpleasant incident. You look very cute, though (I love this photo!), so take a sip of whatever is in that glass you are holding, give us your sparkling smile, and put it behind you.
    If I were you, I would put a little note at the end of this controversial post, linking it to this one.

  9. You can keep this private Jeanne, but I completely agree with you about this. Ungrateful. Free advertising, your support and this is what you receive in return is not nice. There is this thing called Karma, which as Christians we really don’t believe in, but keep in mind nothing passes the Lord’s eyes when it comes to His own. He cares. And don’t forget all the loyal followers like me and a lot others that never miss your blog!!! Brush it off like the dust off your shoes!!

  11. I had someone come to my blog, after following me and tell me that I needed to “like” their page as soon as they “liked” mine. I was like, no – you can’t come here and tell me what to do or how to do things. I even did a post, sharing what my day is like, to show or share that I can’t sit on the computer “all day long”. I don’t even think this person saw this post…
