He Said, She Said, I Said STFU!
Men run their mouths. Women are known to talk about people: “That weave is a mess.”; “Those shoes are tore down.”; “She KNOWS she should not wear that dress!”. But men take gossiping to a whole other level. Men that run their mouths, in THEIR minds think they are helping situations, when in reality, they are making them WORSE! The road to hell is PAVED with good intentions, you know?
Last week was the week of men-related FOOLISHNESS! I found out that my “boyfriend” had been placing my name in things that had nothing to do with him or me (yes that is PROPER English, look it up). He had said so much that it caused a serious riff between my co-worker and one of her good friends in the building. To the point where he decided to stop speaking to her, off the strength of what the ex told him I said. Yes, you read that right, the EX. That is another story, for another lifetime… Thank GOD for clarity, AMEN!
MOVING ON!
The air was cleared between my co-worker and her friend and subsequently between her friend and I. Based on what he said and what I said, the EX is not only a pot-stirrer but a habitual liar, who volunteers lies and exaggerations constantly and continuously. I had witnessed it, but refused to believe that I would ever be victim to it. BLINDED! In the end, I am glad that it all came to light but still a little put off that he PREVIOUSLY had the audacity to tell me he didn’t trust me! UGH!
There was another incident involving a man running his mouth that I was not directly involved in, so the details of such will just have to go undiscussed. Suffice it to say, the male involved had no reason or BUSINESS saying anything to anyone. He aggravated a tense situation that had been dormant 2 weeks under the guise of playing “peacemaker”. Remember what I said about that road to hell? Yeah, be careful out there.
If person A is tlaking about Person B & Person B is doing the same with Person A, sometimes, it’s best to tell Person A to TALK to Person B directly and C your way up out of it. Otherwise you end up being the bad guy, the culprit, the liar, the bitch, the agitator… Other times, it’s best to just stay out of it all together… don’t ask questions, don’t give your unsolicited opinion ut even when you can’t bring yourself to stay out of it, for GOD’S SAKE… do not RUNTELDAT! Especially if you are retelling an inaccuracy that you have fabricated into the MOUNT RUSHMORE of lies.
NO BITCHASSNESS!
