Work Drama

Why can't people just go with the flow? I tend to be pretty laid back and calm. If you say something I don't agree with... I keep my opinions to myself unless I'm asked.

I don't like to stir the pot.
I don't like to get people bent out-of-shape.
I don't want there to be any trouble.

I just prefer that people agree to disagree (the beauty of being an American is that we're entitled to our own opinions).

So can anyone tell my why people like to provoke and instigate awkward situations? Why are there so many idiots who insist on arguing? Why are stoopid people breeding more stoopid people who ask more stoopid questions and get into stoopid people fights?

In the past I would be quiet and maybe cry out of frustration for not fighting back for myself... but last night I was provoked... and I didn't back down. For the first time in my adult life I truly stood up for myself against a stoopid woman who has been a thorn in my side since January. She tried to confront me about something I wasn't even involved in... and I let loose with everything that has been festering.

It felt so damn good to set the record straight!!!
