ok so im back very soon to complain. i thought that christmas was a time for peace love and forgiveness?. I worked int he retail industry and have seen my share of attitutinal people. But i swear it gets worse every year. All i did was smile at a patient today and got snarled at for being too chipper? all i can say is wtf! i am a happy go lucky person most of the time. And i am a HUGE people person. but how can a person be too chipper? I understand we all have bad days. Gosh i have them all the time. But if someone smiled at me for no good reason, that would make me feel great! Oh well guess you can';t win them all and I am certainly not going to let it ruin my good mood....lol. So to everyone out there having a bad day i'm sending out a GIGANTIC smile and hug to all of you! Wow just writing that makes me giggle. have a great day everyone and MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all
peace,
me

I'm one of those types that gets defensive very easily, I don't like to feel slighted or embarrassed and when I do, I usually lash out verbally.
I have learned as I've grown that my way of handling things like that was wrong, now I just smile even harder. People feel guilty if you just smile at them and be polite no matter how pissy they are with you, eventually they feel bad for having treated a nice person badly. To me that is punishment enough.
I let that stuff wash off me now and I do my best to try and not hurt people in any ways, and if I do I try and be honest and set it right. If that doesn't work, then there is nothing more I can do and I move on.
Don't let the snarlers get you down, you're a good person, with a huge heart, and you deserve respect.
