The only other thing I desperately need to add is that it's all well and good saying people should or shouldn't react in certain ways, but a) people are human - both customers and staff - and b) you don't always know what's going on in someone's life - both customers and staff.
I appreciate the sentiment about "it could be worse", but again, maybe for someone, it couldn't - or at least that's how it feels? Maybe I'm just coming at this from a psychologist / depressive's viewpoint.
Agreed. But as I said earlier, sometimes dealing with customers can be having a shitty day but retreating gracefully from a confrontation. But after all, to err is human.
Bollocks! Just read over and instead of hoping that Carly bears NO ill will towards us I appear to hope she does. Clearly I shoul not be allowed to type after a certain time of night!
Lubyanka- I have long since learned that the majority of the time our reactions to specific stilmuli tend to be shaped by more than that isolated 'event' therefore it seems unfair to view a person who lays the back-breaking straw as being at fault for their lack of telepathy.Especially those that tend to take misunderstandings seriously ;) (mwah)
Please can we all be happy again? Please? Glad to see so much understanding today :)

I just wanted to say that I had enjoyed reading Imelda Imelda's posts so will miss her. I am obviously very new but have found the site a fantastic place to discuss my feelings, questions, concerns and 'acheivments' lol Everyone has been gorgeously friendly and I hope to return that respect and kindness.
I am slightly anxious about the 'three strikes and you're out' thing though! i didn't realise and I have reported a couple of my OWN posts - on someone's advice but can't think who - because there must have been a glitch in the system and they posted multiple times!!! So hopefully I won't get escorted off the premises through an own goal scenario!!!!
i don't want to say much more as I don't feel I really have anything to contribute being so new - but just to reiterate that I think the forums seem great and everyone seems very open-minded and respectful of others desires, concerns, questions, etc. I also felt that it was being moderated very well. As I say, I just hope I don't get booted off from reporting my own posts!!!

Yeah, you can report your own posts if they were accidental multi-posts, they'll know thats what it is i think :)
Oh okay! Phew! hehe

SUPERCALAFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS! :-) Why so serious? There's worse things in life folks, trust me. My OH and I sponsor a child through world vision and we got a letter from her last week to say how happy she was with the *desk and chair* we bought her for her home so she had something to write on rather than a stone floor which will improve her education and therefore her family's life. A desk and chair. Puts things into perspective doesn't it! SG69 x
Hugs and Christmas love to you and your OH SG, you seem like such good people and you's should be proud!
I agree with some of the points made on this thread and disagree with others - if the thread is still active in a few days time I may post my point, if things have calmed down by then I'll leave it, I'd like people to start being happy again!
I'd like imeldaimelda and Carly to come back! and any other missing forumers! but if they feel they will be happier and less stressed with some time away (check back in the future I hope and see if things have improved?!) then that's what's best for them! We ALL deserve a happy Christmas (or other holiday (even if it's just a couple of days off work to some) - Lubyanka enjoy your time away!)
Fingers crossed things will improve....positivity always helps External Media
I hope this makes some kind of sense, I can't see through the fog right now!
Back to chat properly in the near future...

Just like to say I know this feeling all to well so I get your point. Sometimes my ex would reply to things that I was un-happy about with "Oh but it's worse for me as..." and well it made you think "Does that mean I'm not allowed to feel crap just because someone else has it worse? There's always someone with it worse!" And you're right someone's idea of a bad day could be someone else's hell on earth.
very well said x~x~x
we all have our days when we want to tell the world to p-off,,some more then others,,but eventually it slips in to place and we realise that whatever it was that was annoying us isnt as bad as first thought and it was all just a misunderstanding,,im all for timeouts they do people good,everbody needs a reality break at some point x~x~x
