This is, sadly, a rant. Because I've seen too much of this lately.
Please remember that while I appreciate, and use, a rather filthy sense of humor, I also try to remember that There is a time and place for everything. If I rant, at the fact that of late my being able to realize that my phone just rang, and I am frustrated that others are likely getting pissy because they think I'm ignoring them, do not answer it with "Did the clinic call with your test results?" This looks bad on any angle. If there were an issue, logically I'd like only those closest or with need-to-know to actually know. If it's for other reasons, like my kidney function, yet again, this is still a painful part of life. Yes, I got pissed first. And frankly, I snapped. And chose to delete because I'd never gotten pissed at this person's behavior before, and indeed had allowed it, or tried to redirect them. But it struck to close to nasty things I used to hear said to me in front of others to put me in my place. I was close to sending back "What the fuck, you really have your mind in the gutter, motherfucker. Knock it off".
I was also feeling like it was so crude particularly when the person knows I don't have the wherewithal, I don't think, to handle two Facebooks, and have very nosy family members on my page who occasionally ask me "What's with the dirty humor"? My explanation is always "I've heard worse out of you."
Truthfully, I also almost sent back, "Oh, are you cranky, you old fart? What's a matter, not enough tit pics lately?" I am being evil, because no matter which angle I try to view the "sarcastic" inquiry into "lab work", I feel very violated. I'm a little over sensitive right about now. But I have to try to remember that my sense of humor can be pretty dirty, although I do my best not to make a person feel shame when they are on the receiving end.
How in the hell does someone have the nerve to ask you private health questions in an open social media setting? Seriously. I can see if you had been the first one to mention it there, but not if the only place you had discussed it previously was in private. Rant on!!
ReplyDeleteIt was an out of nowhere question... an oddball one too. So I ranted, I let go, and I'm just wondering how that one came in out of left field.
