Picture this: Someone from your past treated you like dirt. They mocked you, called you names, constantly told you that you were no good. They physically assaulted you, told you no one will ever love you. You eventually proved them wrong about yourself. You became successful by going against their advice, realizing along the way that it was bad advice intended to make you fail.
Then one day, you got a really big paycheck. All but $200 of it was obligation free. In fact, there may have been about a $200 bonus on there that you didn’t expect. So, it’s a nice payday. You go to Walmart, the salon, order Christmas gifts.
Then, the next day, you log onto Facebook and there’s a rant from said person. She’s begging for $300 to fix her car, and scolding everyone for not helping her out. She even insinuates that those of us who have it to spare would be nothing without her. Do you experience Schadenfreude? Do you send the $300? Or do you just do something in the middle, gloat and let it go?
Because that was the situation for me this weekend! And for clarification, I am NOT talking about my mother! My mother has 6 figures and never goes on Facebook.
This person honestly probably shouldn’t even be driving.
No way would I send the money. Don't reward assholes. Ignore her manipulative bitching and move on would be my approach!
ReplyDeleteI ignored it except for laugh-reacting. Then I laugh reacted at the comment that said, “Whoever laughed at this is an ass.” I’m not playing. I know better than to actually comment, though.
DeletePeople who poison your life do not deserve to be part of it.
