So why do some people get their jollys from making another person feel like dirt? I mean, seriously, why is it that the only time they feel important is when they are putting people down? I don't get it. What purpose does it serve to be as difficult as possible, not keep your word, and just be an all around crabby patty and yet somehow they feel better about themselves. Somehow they think THEY are in the right... and for that matter how long do you just bite your tongue smile and do your thing before you are officially a doormat? And when does general goofiness and teasing become a mask for genuine insults. I had a co-worker once who said some pretty hard core things about me, to my face, and then laughed and said he was joking. Just stupid stuff about me being shallow and whatever. And while it may have been funny it was pretty hard core. I joke a lot. I'm incredibly sarcastic. But I don't think I've ever been hard core in my humor. I don't think I've ever just went for someones weakness and then exploited it with humor. Do they really feel better when they've pointed out the kink in someones armor? I don't get it. I don't think I ever will.
Can't we all just get along?

i so understand. i work with alot of people with personalities like you are describing. well, only a few, but a few is more than enough. i agree with you, i am very sarcastic, but i NEVER go below the belt or mean unless I HAVE to and then I just slam them really fast. I know you'll figure out how to handle it, but it does SUCK!!!!!! I hate negative energy type people! they try to suck the joy outta the rest of us!!!! I have to wait on them too. they can be SO UTTERLY RUDE!!!!! uh!!
