I want to vent about a gross thing a guy did too! This guy that I work with, he is a VP, totally made me mad the other day!!!! We have a small office so there are only 2 single bathrooms, a Woman's and Men's. Well I had to go to the bathroom and right as I was going in, he came out. When I go in there I realized he had taken a huge dump in the women's bathroom!!! He had a magazine in his hand and everything!! And this is really gross but along with the rancid smell, there were "remnants" on the bottom of the toilet. I had to suck it up and go because I didn't want him to see me come out without going because it would have been obvious. Then later I heard him telling someone about how he was having stomach problems. I cannot understand why he thought it was ok to do that in the women's bathroom!!!! I mean, my shit doesn't smell like roses, but I am a woman and belong in the womans bathroom!!! Sometimes my husbands smells are so offensive that they linger in the bathroom for hours!!! I will never look at this guy the same again, I am totally grossed out by him now!!

Luv2Shop, that's disgusting, but totally hilarious at the same time! I hate it when people stink up the bathroom. It's even worse that he was in the women's room!

Oh boy do I need to vent
Ok as most of you know I'm going through a PITA divorce right now.

#1. My ex to be has cut me off totally financially and yet still feels the need to eat my groceries and use my laundry detergent. he makes $30,000 a month. Buy your own damn detergent!!

#2. I go to take out the garbage this morning and what do I see shoved in the garbage shoot? A $200 cashmere dress of mine. Apperantly he got drunk and decided to throw it out. It's ruined and I can't buy another one.

#3. My cat Natasha is very sick and has bladder stones. The food and meds they gave us are not working and she's getting worse. he's decided he'd rather just put her to sleep than pay for a surgery he could easily afford. I'm going to have to sell some stuff to pay for her surgery before he just kills her. She's only 5 years old and she's my little pumpkin butt.

#4. My best friend in the world is moving this weekend to So. Carolina and I'm going to be so lost without her.

I want to vent about this 26 y/o guy I met who is going on 15!

He took 8 days to finally contact me, and instead of a call, he texted.

Now it's been over a month since we met and he's called only 3 times, texted randomly and we've had one lunch. He called me drunk one evening and whined that I never call him, boasted about what a good kisser he is, called me a Puma and also insisted that I have just been out of the dating scene for too long and that modern girls (especially Puma's I assume) just call guys all the time. I was like, okay, I will think about it. Days later, he had the nerve to ask me out for a Saturday, ON Saturday, by text messages, at 6PM. I thought he was kidding because I had previously told him I had my kids that weekend. I was really busy during this text convo anyway, so my replies were slow...he ended up misunderstanding me and texting "okay I can take a hint!" Rude!!

Seriously. Grow up or leave me alone!

Also want to vent about my hairdresser who I am about to dump. Even though we've discussed it, nearly every time I go in, he just can't stop making the RIGHT SIDE OF MY HAIR highlighting look patchy! I don't have time for this, I can't sit there each time and make him fix it, I have things to go do! I have to part my hair in very careful ways to make it look good and hide the patches of blond. I cannot understand why he can't make it look proportional or natural, why it's always the right side that is overdone!

Sorry blink. I know you are venting, but I think I speak for most people here when I say DUMP THEM BOTH!!!! Do not wait for this guy to "grow up or leave you alone" because neither is probably going to happen and you are just making youself available for all his crap!! You deserve better then this guy!! He sounds like a douche! So does your hairdresser for that matter!

And Collette, I am so sorry, that is so horrible, all of it! How much longer do you have to live with this guy??

Collete! I am so sorry. It must hard trying to co-habitate while going through a divorce. :(

A Puma is a pre-cougar. Like for girls in their late 20's and early 30's. I have also seen even less appealing descriptions... Anyway, NOT a compliment, in my opinion. It indicates that I want to chase younger men.

In that case you have every right to call him a shitty little fu*k-job.

Woah. That sucks. He's being incredibly petty and I can't understand why people act like that - regardless of the situation. I don't know if you guys have got to the financial settlement part of the divorce yet but it might be worth keeping track of the damage he's doing and/or the money he's costing you (in whatever way). I'm not a family law lawyer so I don't know if that's practical or reasonable but it's worth a shot, right?

This is sooo hard. My best local friend moved last Spring and it's been hard getting through my divorce without her just a quick drive away.

I have noticed men doing this all the time. If they need to crap in public, do they think no one is ever going to notice them coming out of the women's bathroom? I mean seriously? To me, this just says what type of guys they are...lack of respect for women! Gross.

Collette - I'm so sorry to hear you're going through all that. And your poor cat!!

I have just had enough of everything this week, so I am going to vent
-my back is killing me...it takes me 10 minutes just to get out of bed in the morning and I don't sleep well anymore because of the pain...I was just informed that I have arthritis

-yesterday was just so bad that I would think it was funny if it did not happen to me--
when I was about to leave the house to take jack to school Alex spit up like 4 ounces of formula down my shirt, so then I had to go change my bra...I bundeled him up to go then I smelled something and jack says I think alex pooped...so I have to unbundle him and change him and then bundle him back up...needless to say we were late to school
-after chasing jack aroung the mall all day, where he was extremely winey and he has a cold and he is sitting on the floor at the playland screaming mommy wipe my snot I get in the car for a drive that takes 45 minutes, but took me an hour....Alex started screaming and i could not get him to calm down...there was soo much traffic and I could not get off the highway so he screamed for about 45 minutes...I thought he was going hyperventalate...I finally get off the highway in an area I was not familiar with...pulled over and tried to calm him down, he was all red in the face and covered with snot from crying...i give him a bottle..oh, by the way, it is a torrential downpour during all this...he finally calmed down after 20 minutes...oh and I had to pee the whole way home...I was so desperate that I had to cop a squat behind my car and pee and I peed on my pant leg and my shoe...omg so embarrassing
-then we try to get home and i get lost since you cannot get back on teh highway where I got off...about 45 minutes later we get home and I take my pee soaked jeans off and bring them to the washing machine in teh basement and step into a puddle...our basement flooded...
I guess that is enough....thaanks for letting me vent!
