happyWImom Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I was so proud that I took the high road on my recent curriculum transaction & ignored a bitter comment. But then......she had to go & say that I did bad business, and I lost it. I responded with a snarky, sarcastic comment, she responded back saying I had no manners,etc..... Now I feel worse. Why do we feel the need to get that last word? Btw, I didn't respond to her last email, so I am not leaving with the last word, but still. Not as evolved as I thought I was. (Hoping to see some really good sniping going on here so that I can feel better about myself :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: I have a feeling that the person you've been dealing with is probably just an unhappy person who wants to hurt other people's feelings. There's no way you can win with a person like that, and no way for things to end happily. The best thing to do is what you've already done -- stop responding to her, even though I know it's hard not to tell her what you really think of her!

Thanks for being so nice-but I probably don't deserve it. Now I'm second guessing myself. Maybe I will just tell her I'm sincerely sorry we had a problem/miscommunication. I think that will make me feel better. I guess it's a lesson to me to control my temper. It's always been one of my worst traits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besroma Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Was it a newbie? I have had some surprising pms from newbies in the last two weeks. I didn't engage them, but could just tell the direction things would go if I did...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, she is apparently new to buying used, which I could then give her some slack if it wasn't for her snarkyness & namecalling. But wait, I am doing it again! Bad, bad.
