    who......always have something to say about another’s post but always answers with a passive aggressive snarky comment.

    Snark is how I relate to people :(

    your comments are the best but they not like rude snarky more like facetious snarky

    Agree

    I can't relate to people that do not take "no," for an answer. Just because it was a polite no thank you doesn't mean it wasn't a "NO" answer.

    I also can't relate to people that continually sign up for something or RSVP to an event and then flake out last minute on a regular basis. (Emergencies, illness, and social anxiety are not the issue in this case) If you commit to a project/event, then show up! Don't message someone hours before saying "hey, can you pick up the project I signed up for" but won't actually get my rear in gear to attend the workshop? Sorry.... just gets me. Once, I could understand...4 months in a row?! No thanks.

    I don’t know how to relate to people who... Are family members, friends and co-workers. Strangers are ideal because naturally, they pretty much keep to themselves...

    Try working with people like that.... it's exhausting

    I think of it as "imaginary futures".

    It's okay to have goals ( I guess ), but living in a grounded reality seems to work pretty well for most of us.

    You think most people live in a grounded reality?? I’m not sure that that is the reality I know but perhaps I’m wrong and/or it is different for you.

    Yep, I live in a 100% grounded reality; I don't lie to myself about anything.

    .... and sometimes, but thankfully not often, it really sucks too.

    That’s cool but I’m not sure that the majority of people live that way.

    I don't know how to relate to people who:

    1. Can't laugh at themselves
    2. Live in the past
    3. Play the victim
    4. Won't put down their stupid smart phones....ever
    5. Talk with their mouths full of food
    6. Are afraid to try anything new
    7. Have an inflated sense of self-importance
    8. Don't get sarcasm
    9. Talk endlessly about their kids/grandkids
    10. Whine
    11. Abuse animals
    12. Don't or won't or can't apologize
    13. Make stupid lists like this... :/

    I can't relate to people who don't take accountability for their actions or inactions.

    I only worry about those things within my control.


    .... and to tell you the truth, that ain't much.

    There's 2 types of people I can't relate to.
    People who think Michael Jackson was weird and people who are unconcerned with what's happening in the Amazon rainforest. My hands are sweating just typing this.

    one of these, alone, is terrifying.

    all three, together, in one space ???

    Nope...strictly concerned with what's "in" and what's considered out of date.

    I will give people the benefit of the doubt if they're actively trying to sell a home, especially in a buyer's market. But I've long laughed about this when watching some of the HGTV shows or listening to colleagues discuss remodeling projects.

    I know I'm kind of a cheapskate weirdo. I do like decor and all that stuff. But I'm perfectly fine with my popcorn ceilings, oak cabinets, and easy care vinyl floor. I also have easy care counter tops instead of granite. If that keeps some people from coming to my girls' night in, I didn't want them there anyway! haha

    I have oak cabinets. I love natural wood, and I'm rather fond of my cabinets.

    Perhaps you'd like to hear about me stripping.... a hideous old 40s painted drop-leaf table... down to bare wood. ;)

    Stained and varnished, it's been my kitchen table for over 15 years.
