Believe me when I say 'I don't care'

It's been a year since I've made a blog post...I am a star at this. Really.

Those people who call or text only when something is going wrong or they're bored. 
Miss me, please.
Nothing bugs me more than a 'user'.
Your friends who only call on a Friday night to get a ride to the club, or that co-worker who only shows up at 5 minutes to 5 o'clock to bum a ride home.
That person who only calls to borrow money, but if you ever need them, they're suddenly M.I.A. 
The kind of person who only befriends someone for what they can do for them. 
I'm done with them.
I've dealt with all of these people at one point or another. I even had the misfortune of having a friend with those traits. Please note, I HAD a friend. Get it? OK.
Anyway, that's not really what this is about...this is about the complainers.


I am a good listener, always have been. However, until about two hours ago, I had a 'friend', who would only send me a BBM (Blackberry Message? who knows *shrugs*) or call me, to complain about some crap that has been taking place in her life. 
Now, don't get me wrong, I have no issues listening to a friend who needs an ear...HOWEVER... when the problem is always the same, when you keep asking for my advice but NEVER take it, when you make ZERO attempts to rectify your situation, I stop caring, and today I met my breaking point.

(Jamaican proverb break: Anyweh di rope mawga, it pop! - Google it)

I got tired of hearing the same thing over and over again. Tired.
If you aren't trying to change your situation, how is talking about it to anyone who will listen going to help?
I am not your personal Dr. Phil and I don't have enough dogs to even be compared to Oprah so please...

I told my now ex-friend that I'm officially done listening. I could have said that I don't have them time, but that would be a lie since all I was doing was watching Scandal *bows to Kerry Washington*, but I was just done.

I have never been one to cry about my problems to people and I wish others would offer me similar courtesies. 

I have enough going on in MY life, I don't want to fill MY brain with YOUR small, irrelevant problems. 

Complainers need to understand that NOBODY benefits from their whining. If you must share your issues with others, go talk to someone who gets paid to listen and leave me and my ears alone.

Thanks.

I know I'm complaining about someone complaining but meh...

  1. One whola year! No sah lol. I couldn't agree more with your post. Leave the continuous complaining in 2012, life's too short for all that.

    p.s.: You need to write more
