Do you ever think mean things and worry you are secretly not very nice? Or do we all do it? This is me today...

I always think I want to punch someone who pronounces words wrong.

This morning I was annoyed that a colleague could have her holiday approved before mine was considered simply because she has children.

I wish my parents didn't think living off interest from investments was a hard life Grin

I think all manner of dark thoughts and inwardly swear at/insult people all the time. Outwardly, I'm mostly pleasant.

I had a neighbour ask me to contribute to their gofundme page today because they had been broken into and had laptop and bike stolen, they don’t have any insurance.
Inside I was thinking you bloody idiot, outside I smiled and sympathised. (I won’t be donating though, bloody cheek!)

Like a PP, I am apparently quite blunt and speak my mind. Except I don’t. If I did I wouldn’t keep my job and someone would have murdered me by now.

I wish the worst things ever on people for such minor transgressions as stepping on a pelican crossing and making me break or cashiers being too chatty with their friend whom they’re serving in for the of me.

I often wish I could kill people with just a hard stare, or at least give them a massive electric shock. I will burn in hell.

Xenadog · 31/05/2019 16:55

In front of me that was supposed to say. FFS!

Needsomebottle · 31/05/2019 19:03

@NorthernRunner just say you have and let them think you were one of the anonymous donors... there's always enough on these things.

the 2nd point is very valid very unfair when companies take into account outside factors

I'm in hr and I spend a good amount of each day biting my tongue. I'm usually wondering how people can be so petty, ridiculous and oblivious to their impact on others.

I accidentally called my 10 year old a dickhead the other day. I was thinking it so strongly it came out.

Itstartedinbarcelona · 01/06/2019 10:24

I work in HR too. Thankfully I’m more specialised now and not in employee relations any more but dealing with that petty shit day in, day out makes it hard for you to keep a positive view of other humans.

Yes, earlier I went to get a pint of milk and a woman was blocking the shelf browsing orange juice on the next shelf up. Who the hell browses orange juice anyway??

Inwardly I was saying 'get outta my way' Bruce Willis style, outwardly I stood and looked polite. Until she got outta my way.

Butteredghost · 01/06/2019 12:05

There was a thread just like this a few weeks ago, the replies were 30% "me too" and 70% "Well I never, I'm shocked! OP you are horrible!"

I'm glad to see everyone on this thread is far more realistic.

Frownette · 01/06/2019 12:20

Actually I'm wildly judgmental (internally). I'd just read a book on the Profumo affair and Stephen Ward and mentioned it to a friend. He'd never heard of it and I automatically judged him a little for just following football and not keeping abreast of political events (he's 20 years older, it's his era, not mine).

Then last week friend said he'd gone to a garden next to an ancient bombed out building, which I'd introduced him to (I love it). I felt bristly and territorial and thought 'get out of my garden'.

I'm glad in a way that other people get the same. The doctor on first page made me laugh.

Deathraystare · 01/06/2019 15:38

Oh yess-found 'my people'!

On reception - when people come in with 'attitude' , but they think it is all 'you'.

Annoyed at the maintenance guys who crowded out our small reception (ok I know they have to work) loudly chatting amongst themselves and taking over our conversations too. Asking them to shush why trying to deal with a phonecall/ problem is useless as being male, their conversations are of more importance.

I am learning as I get older to just think bad thoughts but bite back from saying most of it. Actually find I enjoy it more when people can't get me going. Ha ha.

cheddarmonster · 01/06/2019 16:38

Oh I love this thread!
All sorts of dark thoughts zip through my mind at inappropriate times Blush
Like stuck behind old people walking - the vile curse words I think to myself... I feel terrible sometimes and wish I didn't think like this. Surely it's nicer to be well.... nicer? Everyone thinks I'm lovely Grin...but often on the inside i'm over flowing with vitriol towards the world and his wife Smile

bebebutton · 01/06/2019 17:11

Sometimes when people are being really nice and chatting away I think "OMG you are so boring I can't listen to this" But they are not boring they are being really nice and i hate myself for that.

cheddarmonster · 01/06/2019 18:37

@bebebutton I get that too Blush

Notthetoothfairy · 02/06/2019 22:37

I’m also accused of being too blunt but they don’t know the half of what i’m actually thinking. I must read too much MN though, which would explain why I so often think “Off you pop, Cuntychops!”.
