Okay guys. So I have sort of a weird issue. I don't know how to defend myself without being a complete total fucking bitch and leaving deep (verbal) wounds on the other party. For that reason, I often opt to NOT defend myself to avoid the drama, but that often leads to people continually trying to take advantage of me or being repeat offenders. And I'm not talking about people who are my friends, but rather rude strangers- especially rude mutual acquaintance of friends/family/whomever. I could care less what strangers do or say, but sometimes people need to be put in their place so they learn not to do it again (at least not to me).
Heres a recent example (though this isn't that good of one because I'll probably never come across her again):
- Hairdressers are THE WORST. I feel like they always get bitchy or need to make some rude remark. Or treat you poorly. This hairdresser calls me last week and says I missed my appointment when it was supposed to be for the following week. I told her and we rescheduled for a different date & time and then she hangs up (or we lose connection). She calls back and says "sorry I can't do that time lets do ____" as a voicemail. I call her back no answer. Left voicemail no callback. I can't do the time she changed it to. Well it comes to the morning and still no call from her. I just opt not to go at all. Especially when someone is hanging up on me, changing my time, and not returning my voicemail/call. So then I get a rude text message from her saying "I waiting for you at ____ and you were not here. Thanks for actually calling to tell me you weren't going to make it." - WTF!!! I returned her text message with a REALLY RUDE bitchy text like "No thank YOU for hanging up on me AND returning MY call and voicemail. I will not be disrespected and its sad you treat your customers this way. I told you I could not do that time but you never returned my voicemail or call." and then I text messages start pouring in from her about how her phone died (hmmm except it rang & rang before it went to voicemail) and how she never got a voicemail from me (highly unlikely) or a missed call. Well... even if your phone died in the middle of our conversation, wouldn't you still call that person back at some point???
--- I don't know... does EVERYONE deal with situations like these on a daily basis? I feel like I do. I mean such is life, but I'm so over it and want to avoid negative people as much as possible. lol @ my whole post
So how do go about defending yourself? Do you need to be a bitch in order to defend yourself? I always feel really guilty after being a bitch, and you never know when you'll come in contact (by force or by accident) with this person again.
