I know! This title most of shocked most of you. Mr positivity is going to say something negative? Yes, I know we need to be positive and that positive thoughts are better for you…blah, blah, blah.

I believe sometimes you just need to say how you feel. Lets be honest, sometimes people just make your skin crawl. When you share them, I think it allows you to clear your thoughts for more positive ones because you are letting go of the negative ones.. PLUS, you are sending out the message into the Universe what you do not like and hopefully people will take the hint.

So here I go…

People who call a meeting and then are late to their own meeting – Seriously? Why do you call a meeting that most people did not want to attend in the first place and then show up late. I am not talking 5 or even 10 minutes. I am talking 20 to 30 minutes late. We all have better things to do than to wait for you. I think it is a disrespect of people’s time.

Of course, I am the fool who waits for them. Maybe that is the problem…

People who Facebook or Tweet “At Gym”, “In bed”, “At work”, “Back home” – Status updates are not about the simple boring details of your life. Share with us something that is interesting or we would really like to know. We figure you go to bed. We figure you go to work. We figure you use the bathroom and wash your hands but you are not telling us that so maybe you do not.

I think one day, I will post like that just for the fun of it so everyone gets to spend the day with Michael.

Straight people who do not support gay marriage – I do not get it. Straight people have been fucking up marriage for SO many years. Can’t you give gay people a chance to do the same? Or maybe that is what you are afraid of, that gay people will actually do it right.  I do not get it! Why can’t we just all be equal, what does it do to you? You already have the right to get married. It will not take it away from you, it only allows others to particpate as well.

I KNOW! Maybe you know we are going to get you back finally for all the wedding and shower gifts we had to buy you! YES! I would be scared of that!!

People who believe you can not laugh at work – I do not know why laughing at work is a bad thing but people do not like it. Maybe because they judge you are not working. Maybe they are upset because they are not laughing. I love to laugh and I love to laugh LOUDLY. Work, home, movies, etc.

I just laugh.

The Blockbuster employees that work at the one by my house – I have never met people who are so mean and rude. Every time I go in there, they act as if their lives suck. So many people are without jobs so be grateful you have one and please stop taking it out on me. I just want to rent another horror movie like Boa Vs Python Vs Giant Lizard 3 and I will be on my way. I promise I won’t ask you any questions and will stare at the ground through out the transaction.

Moody people – I do not like when I can not understand you. When every time I am about to talk to you I have to test the water to see if it is a good day or a bad day. Why can’t you handle yourself? It is not my problem you are not happy and why do you take it out on me? I am always in the same mood all the time. What you see is what you get. I understand that might not be you but please do not punish me for it.

Older people (not mature but by age) who think they know it all – Haven’t we learned by now that age no longer dictates intelligence? So many older people feel they know it all because they been here longer. They worked their longer, they have done the profession longer, etc. Then you ask them about Twitter and instead of saying they do not know about it, they make up an excuse as if they are too “busy” to use it. “How do all these people have time to use Twitter?”

Just admit you do not know how to use it and I will help you. You do not have to always feed your ego and make yourself feel you are better by putting something or someone down. All you are doing is pushing me away and I could be a good friend to you or at least support.

People who talk on their cell phones in the public restroom – YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! As you know by now, I am pee shy when it comes to the public rest room. I want to get in and out. I am hoping no one is in there and I do not want to talk while I am in there.

Many times I get in, all alone and then BOOM in comes a guy and he is talking on cell phone LOUDLY while using the restroom. Seriously? You couldn’t tell your friend about your day in just a few minutes when you are done?

People who think talking is doing – I will admit I am an action person. I love to put things into action. There are a lot of people who spend many months, years telling us what they are going to do as if it is going to happen next week. They may even tell you it will happen next week but it ends up being weeks, months, years later if it even happens.

Don’t talk about to EVERYONE if you are not really ready to do it. Talking is not doing it. Let me know when you really are going to do something.

People who do not watch their kids – I love kids but I do not have kids. You have kids. They are your responsibility.

I can not tell you how many times I find a crying kid who is lost at a theme park or store who comes up to me to help them find their parents. It breaks my heart. Then I take time out of my day to help them find their parents and do not even get a thank you or a smile.

Worse yet, you are having dinner and your kid is throwing things at me but you are too busy in your adult conversation that you do not even notice. You are just happy they are not bothering them.

They are your kids, you need to look after them and make sure they are behaving and not upsetting other people. Kids are not perfect but there is no excuse for an adult who knows better about social graces.

People who want you to do everything – I have a rule in life, if you come up with the idea, you do it. If you come up with an idea and do not want to do it, keep it to yourself…

Everyone has an opinion but I do not want to hear it unless YOU are going to do something about it. I do not know how many projects I have been on when someone comes up with this idea which requires all this work and they want someone else to do it. It is your idea, YOU DO IT.

Think how much time we would save for having to listen to people talk if they knew they would be accountable for what they said and what they come up with. If you are going to suggest it, make sure you are willing to do it.

People who send emails you do not want – It is 2009 and I can not believe people are still forwarding emails. Not only forwarding emails but still haven’t learned to delete the LONG forward attached to it before sending it.

I wish they would ask if you want to be part of it. I know sometimes something is funny so you send it. That is fine. But I know people who get my email and then send me like 5 to 12 things a day to a GROUP of people. All I do is delete them. Then create filter so I no longer have to get them anymore.

Same thing with people who email a group to ask a question. If is fine to ask the question and people will respond. That is perfect. It is when you start getting the “I agree”, “Thank you”, “Good”. We all do not need to receive that email. Just send it to the person one on one. Instead I get four hundred emails all about comments which were meant for one person and not me.

People who do not respond after you answer their email question(s) – I am an open book and I am share a lot here. I love emails from people wanting to know more. Sometimes they send me LONG emails telling me about them and asking me questions. I do not mind sharing at all BUT, then they never respond back.

Why did you want to know the information? Do you not want to talk to me? Did you just need me to answer your essay question about Michael Moniz?

I do not get it. You spend the time contacting me why drop it after I  respond. Give me some closure.

People who complain but never do anything about it – I can not stand having to listen to people complain about their lives but do nothing about it. They hate their job and they spend hours and days talking about how much they hate it BUT they have yet to take one small step to make a change. People who complain about their lives and how things never work out for them BUT they have not taken one step to move them forward. Some people just like to complain and I do not want to hear it.

My friend said, “You are a life coach that is what you do.” NO! Listening to people complain about life is not part of my job description. I work with people who actually want to do something with their career or life. Someone who wants to make a change and no longer wants to be part of the group who just does nothing.
