I flame people who catch you off-guard by acting out of character in a totally unprofessional way. You think you know people, or at least have a basic understanding of their character, and then you get blown out of the water when you find out otherwise. People rarely surprise me anymore, but yesterday, I was genuinely surprised. It's going to make for a long day today.
Have a good Friday, ladies!
Re: FFF
I flame people who make snide unfounded comments and think they're cool.
[QUOTE]I flame my DH and I for being a little twisted. I work from home and it's freezing cold in my office, yet<strong> we have this sick game we like to play to see how long we can go before turning on the heat.</strong> So, I am freezing cold and my fingers can barely type! But it's FRIDAY!!

<div>We are the same way. In my last apartment, I had to turn on the heat maybe a handful of times. In our house, I guess the insulation is so terrible that it is freezing (read: currently 62 degrees in my office). I even pulled out one of the guest comforters and have coccooned myself inside of it. I might give in in the near future. </div>
Our Wedding Film. | For sale, yo.
I also flame some people on CL.
I flame the 8 car pile up accident on the tollway this morning that made me 30 minutes late, my car battery for dying last night in Frisco (thank god SIL lives in Little Elm!), and idiot drivers that don't understand the simple concept of merging.

PREACH!
[QUOTE]I flame the a**hole who almost ran my puppy over ON PURPOSE this morning in the parking lot. Thanks for revving your engine to make her bolt, speeding up once you saw she was running in front of the car (toward the door) AND that I was chasing her, and continuing to do 40 through the parking lot. I hope karma catches up to you, jerk.

What a jerk. You should have kicked his car.

This would be one of those times where my instantaneous strong emotional reactivity would be a very, very bad thing. I'm really glad your puppy is okay and I'm so sorry this happened to you! :(
[QUOTE]I flame my boss (daily to be honest) for taking out every annoyance he has at anyone in the world...on me. The man has a. no boundaries, and b. NO patience.
Posted by KHollyTX[/QUOTE]
He may not have boundaries but hopefully you can establish your own for yourself. It SUCKS to have that kind of boss, and it's exceptionally hard not to let it get to you. I wish that when I had been in that situation, that I had established boundaries for myself to prevent taking all that emotional crap home from work with me.
[QUOTE]Late flame. I flame my group, I emailed the teacher yesterday and asked him what I should do since no one is responding to anything. He posted in our group yesterday (kind of got on to us). Still no response. WTF.

And this is exactly why I hate group work.
