There is a group of dog walkers around my area that I have got to know through the extreme friendliness of my young dog. One of them is a very sweet woman who, in the time I have known her, has never said anything even remotely nasty about anyone.
I had not seen her for about a week and heard from others in the area that she had family visiting and was occupied with family stuff. I ran into her last weekend with the couple staying with her. She introduced them to me, quick hellos all around and we parted company.
I met up again with her during the week and after walking and talking for a while I started to think maybe she was possessed. Gone was the sweet polite woman, replaced by a raving slightly crazed one. She had apparently had a dreadful week putting up with the female half of the couple and was venting her frustration in a big way.
She was listing all the horrendous things she had to put up with. Amongst the many sins were:-

She was listing all the horrendous things she had to put up with. Amongst the many sins were:-
- The woman ate two biscuits with her tea one night
- When they went for a walk the woman waved to some children in the window of a house, thereby invading their privacy
- The woman was rude, lazy, untidy and for all I could tell may have been a mass murderer
By the time we parted company, which was sooner than usual, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with the onslaught of venom I had just gone through. What on earth was wrong with the woman. Talk about an overreaction........ hold on, something there was familiar. Ahhh, I remember!
The irrational reaction to someone that for some reason you just loathe. Been there!
I seem to recall a woman I worked with who brought out these very symptoms in me. Of course I was nowhere near as irrational. I had genuine reasons to lose the plot about her. After all she:-

I seem to recall a woman I worked with who brought out these very symptoms in me. Of course I was nowhere near as irrational. I had genuine reasons to lose the plot about her. After all she:-
- Had a really annoying way of saying hello on the phone. Three bloody syllables. Hel lo oh. God I hated it when she answered the phone
- Would wear a scarf even when I wasn't feeling cold. Obviously attention seeking. "Ohhh, look at me I'm from Victoria where we wear scarves". Bloody attention seeking moron
- Talked incessantly about her boyfriend who was obviously an idiot. He was going out with her, so must have been short on brain cells
- Made my work mates think I was crazy just because I raved and ranted about her every gesture, every word out of her stupid mouth......... Obviously she hid her true nature from them. I was the only one who could see her true colours!
Hmmm, well maybe there was slight over reaction, sometimes.
So I will forgive my friend for her unusual behaviour. I just hope she moves on or back to her old self soon. At least I managed to get control of myself after the stupid woman was retrenched. Only took me a year.
