sometimes you listen to the angel on your shoulder, but the offender is kicking you in your gut and you forget and listen to the other one! Oh well, I'll probably go on being a very nice mouse, but it's fun once in a while to blow off a little steam to friends ;-) |
Yay ...someone expressing my thoughts!!!!

Wishing that quilter a rusty seam ripper.....

Don't assume someone doesn't know what they are talking about just because they don't look like your traditional quilter.
And if you are a lady in your 50's, brown hair, white shirt w/ print who was visiting the museum today with 2 other ladies of the same age who snickered at a young mom wearing a Mariners shirt.... I hope your sewing machine eats every last one of your quilts! |
I've had a similar thing happen to me. I just smile, the in my head Pray for them, LOL that all their fabric dyes to run, their needles to break and bird nests on the back of ALL their future quilts.
Don't let the rudeness of someone else ruin your day. They are the ones who are lacking. You on the other hand are a wonderful Mariners fan. :) |
What a rough job that must be! You're prob ready to cry or shoot someone at end of the shift.I learned all my quilting from books/mags.You just hang out here & any other nice quilting boards & you'll do fine.
This is why on my days off I come home at 7.am as I work 7p-7a close the door to the world and paint and trying to teach myself quilting. |
lol..some people r so rude..

I hope I can remember the quick comebacks should I run into some rude quilt police--Loved the crack about the menopause. That would have set them back on their ear. ha. Don't pay any attention to people like that, there is always someone who will try to put another down. I try to "consider the source" when I run into people like that. Sad life they must have when they have to put others down.

Maybe she was trying to impress someone and just didn't know how.........there are people like that !!!!! If she is reading this, let's let her know that "we" quilters don't act like that and the next time, think before acting. There...did that tell her anything? |

People can only put you down if you let them. If it should happen again just look the woman in the eye and say something like, "I've heard that menopause can sometimes make a woman really nasty and hateful, I guess it's true." Or, "I'm sorry, did I inadvertantly convey the impression that you had the right to be snotty to me?" Don't ever let anyone make you feel less than what you are. Naomi Judd once said, "Every woman should feel like a princess because we're all daughters of the most High King." |
