    I'm done doing other people's work, it's an epidemic where I work and seems to be everywhere. Upper management and the slackers will wear you out if you let em because it's never ending. I either don't/won't do it or I let some other schmuck do it and listen to them beotch about it instead of me. It may not be the most "adult" way to handle it but one can only take so much and I've reached my limit.

    For All Who Have Succeeded, WELL DONE!!
    May You Continue Your Rewards!!

    For All That Have Failed To Succeed, WELL DONE!
    May You Grow Through Your Lessons!!

    The Second One Described My Life BEFORE Sobriety!
    I Used To "Hate On Success" With The "I'm Gonna Do This Or That" But Failed To See The Light Because Of Jim Beam, Jose Cuervo and Schlitz Malt While Sitting In The Muck & Mire At The Bottom Of Strawberry Hill.

    Got Sick & Tired of Breaking Out In A Rash Of Handcuffs, Among Other Positively Negative Adventures With Law Enforcement.

    Haters Got Some Good Licks In But I Was Very Proficient At Sarcasm From Junior High Skool Forwerd. It Helped As Well Re Directed.
    Picked Up That "useful skill" From My Father.

    I Ain't Perfect Nor Shall I Be, Yet I Be 98.6% Better Than When I Weren't.

    Ol' Waylon sums up what you said pretty well. I always liked the line "But the clowns don't come around no more since the monkeys off my back"

    When the going gets tough it's time to bring the B-game yo.

    People who loudly announce their blocking of you (in a public forum no less) because you said something they didn't like need to get over themselves and grow up.

    Typical crabs in a bucket mentality. If a crab is trying to climb out of the bucket the others will pull the crab back down so he can’t escape.

    I always do my best to avoid those types.

    I thought about the Crab Mentality, but a Hater is a level up. If Haters were in a bucket and you got out, they would work together to get out, find you, and drag you back in.
