Entitled???

[cheermom1]

Sat was my bday and my dd bought me a nice necklace. I wore it to work another girl that works there got mad b/.c it was dragonfly which I LOVE and my dd knew that. I also knew this girl likes them too but I didn't think much about it.

That night she looked at me and said "you suck!" and asked where I got it. I thought she was talking about my out fit as it didn't dawn on me that she was talking about my necklace. I told her the mall and walked out b/c I had to work.

I came back in the break room later and she started in on how dragonflies are her thing and she is the queen. I told her that my dd bought for me for my bday and she started to talk over me about how it is her thing. I rolled my eyes and walked out.

Later in the night I came back in to get something out of my purse and the bouncer (whom we all know wants this girl real bad) said in front of everyone in there "why are you copying the dragonfly?" I looked at him and said 'my dd bought this for me and I am NOT copying. Didn't know it was copy righted!" I slammed the door.

Later I confronted him about and told that was not nice and it was very mean and it hurt my feelings. He said it was a joke! Then he walked out. Right is was NOT a joke!

So am I crazy to think that she is crazy to expect others to not wear or have anything to do with dragonflies just b/c she doesn't want anyone else too?

This is crazy I felt like I was in kindergarten.

I'm right there with ya on the kindergarten comment. She needs to grow up!

 

[cheermom1]

Thank you just needed to get that off my chest! I am still bugged about it as I just don;t understand why I can't wear a necklace just b/c it has something on it that she thinks is HER thing. No ONE there is looking at her necklace!

The whole incident sounds more like a 5th grade drama than a bunch of adults.

Yep, she is nutty for trying to "own" dragonfly stuff. The bouncer is nutty for making it an issue. You are nutty for doing anything else than looking at them like they are crazy, shrugging and going on with your work.

Wear your necklace whenever you want and ignore any other negative comments about it.

 

[cheermom1]

I don't think I was nutty by just telling her that my dd bought for me! I could have not confronted the bouncer but hey no one is perfect. But then at the same time they need to know that that is bullying!

I think she might have been joking around, she said "You Suck" those don't really sound like fighting words to me LOL

It really doesn't matter if she like them or not. In fact that would make me wanna wear it more

If she was serious it really petty, I wouldn't even worry about it

 

[castmember19]

I think she's being silly and needs to grow up. Meanwhile, I also think the bouncer really was just making a joke. No biggie.

 

[NHdisneylover]

I guess the "it is not copyrighted" (I know that is not exact--it is late and iam too tired to cut and paste) and the slamming the door and then going back later to confront the guy again were what I was referring to from you. TO me, when you do that stuff you are acting just as immaturely as they are and in so doing encouraging the behaviour (because we all know people act like that largely to get a reaction).

To be clear, I think the other woman is completely off base to say anything about dragon flies being her thing and the bouncer is off base too. I just think your response was equally off base and likely to increase the drama rather than diffuse it.

She was serious I have been working with her for over a year and I know when she is and when she isn't. Mainly she keeps to herself til she has a problem then she says things to you. Then for the bouncer to say something lets me know she said something to him or he wouldn't have said anything to me.

i know these people it was NO joke it was more of their way to say do not wear it again.

I really think you are making to much out of it. Are this the dragonfly mafia?

 

[Pakey]

It sounds like everyone needs to graduate from junior high.

 

[minkydog]

What is this, middle school? I can't believe 2 grown women and a grown man are even have a conversation about this, beyond, "Nice necklace." Seriously, y'all need to grow up. at least make it to high school

 

[cheermom1]

This was a vent people! good grief. I reacted the way I did b/c I dd gave me the necklace and I just couldn't believe that people would actually expect someone to not wear something just b/c they said so.

Geesz I was VENTING! hello.

Never mind remind me not to vent here b/c you all have turned this is into high school instead of just letting someone Vent! I am seriously about to cry b/c I just don;t understand why you ladies are being so mean to me about a necklace my dd bought and someone who is bullying me into not wearing it! this is crazy. She and him are in the wrong not me!

You work in a place where they need a bouncer?

Sometimes I really wish the word bully was removed from the English language.
