Why is it that some people always fish for compliments or sympathy, but do not demonstrate compassion themselves?

Are people who are giant assholes online as open with their flagrance in the 3rd dimension? Someone forwarded me spam letter with one of those stock recommendations at work saying that they only started getting that spam after they signed up for our site, so obviously it was coming from us, and then proceeded with the following words:

A pox on you, I say! May you lose all your hair and may your limbs dry up and fall off.

ASS HOLE

Sincerely,
name withheld because whatever

So I responded that in fact we did not send that spam, that the only spam we send will have our company name in the email address, but I've cancelled your subscription anyway because that's what you seem to want.

Thanks for the kind words.

Have a great day,

I mean, is this guy so abusive in his everyday life? Does he think that because it's the internet, it can't possibly be a human being at the other end? Or because we're an internet business, we're definitely assholes and it's okay to call us on that? Blah.

And then there are the people who fail to recognize the many ways in which you have inconvenienced yourself for the sake of their comfort without so much as a thank you when really you don't even owe them anything anyway.

Ugh. Pardon my frustration. It has nothing to do with you. Unless it does, in which case you know exactly who you are anyway.

The anniversary party was swell - the veggie tray was our first attempt at deviating from the cake norm, and it was a big hit. We talked about pooping in swimming pools. Or rather, "launching torpedoes." Brent, a former college swimmer, had lots to add to that conversation.

Poop is one of my favorite things ever to talk about. But don't get me wrong. I don't poop. Girls don't poop, ever. :)

Talking about poop has put me in a bit of a cheerier mood. I feel better now. It helps to lighten up and talk about poop when you feel your day getting too intense. That reminds me, I still need to get my Nature's Platform now that I'm all moved into the new place...

Peace.

Hooray for poop!

Also, I've got a really disparaging mental picture of Mr. Hex Dude. Hasn't this happened before? Some friend of mine (working in retail?) said somebody told her they would put a HEX on her when they got home!!!1!!!1!! It was amusing.

Oh, people send threatening messages all the time, this is just one of the more creative ones. One time I wrote a news release about why Halliburton was crashing that day, and someone called to bitch me out for making his stock crash (I was merely explaining the crash, not putting out any negative opinion on the stock...though if I could...). The call ended with "I HOPE YOU EAT FECES AND DIE!!!"
