Group was not very fun. Without certain people there I really don't enjoy going. However, I do have a beef. One of the people there had hip surgery and this was her first day back (she has been gone about 4 weeks) and she came in with another person. We have to sign in then they call us in order of the sign in. So she came in on crutches and one of the girls walking with her goes to sign her in, but then she comes over to me and said I gave her your place.
I was like okay hip replacement on crutches trumps broken foot, but I was super annoyed. It wasn't her place to take. I would have been more then happy to give the hip replacement girl my spot, but I did not think anyone should just take it without even giving me the courtesy of asking. Truth be told I wouldn't have cared if hip replacement girl just got helped first without anyone asking - but having a third party bump me out of line - I know petty.
It is human nature to want to be thanked for ones generosity and to feel appreciated. But when that generosity is taken away, forced upon the giver, then the giver starts to feel used and begins to feel resentful. And it becomes a vicious cycle where other people start to believe that they are entitled to others generosity and it can be taken without asking.
Then in group she (the one who took my place - not broken hip girl) said that she was bad this week and still lost two pounds for a total of 77 pounds. Life just isn't fair.

ReplyDeleteCan we, can we, can we????
I love being gracious, but I'm in T3's camp - don't assume & let me make the offer. Let's kill the b*t*h - I'm stuck on that.
Hip replacement - let's give her a NOSE replacement - better still, give her the NEED for a nose replacement.
