People just do not understand! - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

When I first read this I too thought maybe it was her way of telling you that he/she disapproves of how you spend your time at work, regardless of if your military or not. I might feel the same way, but I also understand that coming to Yorkie talk is nice when you don't have anything else to do. I do that to when I get sick of cleaning up after my kids or doing homework etc. but I would never get away with jumping on the internet while I was working, we can barely make personal phone calls.Or maybe this person is just an A**. There are a lot of rude people out there that have no problem with being a jerk for the fun of it. I would take a close look at if this person has a valid point, if they don't then just ignore them. Being military and being paid by all of our taxpayers money, I would say that could become something that bothers me, I would not really be happy to know that my local government etc. is using their time surfing the net if there are other things to do, while being paid by our taxes(especially if the entire office is doing the same thing). I don't mean to start anything, but that is my opinion. That could be a structural problem with how the military system is set up, which wouldn't surprise me at all. Again, I don't want to start anything, but I did have an opinion about it, so I posted it.

I assure you , your tax payer dollars as well as mine, dont forget all military members pay taxes as well... are not going to waste. i seriously cant really speak about what i do , just that in our free time, i look at YT. Ive been to Iraq and i think that alone gives me the right to surf yt in my SPARE TIME and is well worth YOUR tax dollars and if you beg to differ please let me know and i will gladly get you a flight to Iraq with an M-16 rifle in your hand along with chem gear and a bullet proof vest. I know you arent trying to start something, but i want to make it a point that all this is in my spare time such as a lunch break or at the end of the day when things that needed to be done are done. I did not come on here to be called lazy or what not, or to hear about the worries of your tax dollars. I came here to vent about someone being rude to me about what my prefrence of website was.

Britster · 04-28-2009, 04:55 AM

People can rude. It's none of their business!

Personally, I don't really let people know I post on here, I try to keep it "secret" because people actually be really mean and rude (even friends & family) and I'd prefer to just avoid the hassle, lol.

I enjoy coming on here after dinner and in the evenings. That's mostly my computer time and I spend a good amount of my computer time on YT, LOL. Maybe that's obsessive - But I don't care *shrugs* It doesn't take up my life or anything and I enjoy talking to all you people and learning new things about my "baby!"

Rosiegirl · 04-28-2009, 05:13 AM

I did not call you lazy, I don't know you. You couldn't pay me a million dollars to walk around another country with chem. gear and rifles even if my plane ticket was paid for. I just wanted to state that I have concerns with a whole office of the governmant surfing the net. If you are only going on at lunch or at the end of the day, that probably isn't going to be concerning, but if your office has tons of idle time to do whatever, then I don't agree it is o.k. Yt doesn't allow political conversations, so that's all I can say.
I think we should simply agree we like Yorkies and leave the rest of this conversation alone.

I have wanted a yorkie for 20 years.We had poodles,my last one was rocky we had him 19 years.when he passed away I was so sad.Someone told me about yt so i started going on here,I loved to see the pictures and read the stories.My husband said NO MORE DOGS and he meant it.After 2 months everybody told him that i needed a yorkie because thats what i wanted,or i was going to be like this for months.I couldn't do anything,and i was thinking how could i be married to someone so mean.we have been married for 32 years,and we were not going to make it to 33.Both of my kids are grown and out of the house.they convinced him to get a yorkie for me.WELL b-4 she got here he told me,this was his exact words I will not have any thing to do with it don't ask me to get dog food at the store when i go,that will be your dog.I said ok hahaha... the night she got here i had here in bed with me,paul works nights so he came in about 3 in the morning,when he walked in the bedroom she barked and acted like she was going to eat him alive.She was 2 lbs.He picked her up laughing at her.SHE WALK RIGHT INTO HIS HEART.When he calls from work its always howse my girl doing,he has bought her so many toys and he's not mean anymore.bailey has paul wrapped around her little paw,and she loves her daddy.paul is nice and not mean anymore thanks to this 4 lbs of spoiled rotten. thanks Suzie

You get to read this at work

consider yourself lucky, most companys frown on net talking

ssshh! don't tell em all you might lose your job

roxies_mom · 07-09-2009, 12:05 PM

Hey if your boss is ok with it and your doing your work then who's this guy to make any sort of comments to you? Tell him to blow out his you know what. He's not writing your paycheck so what does he care? My hubby is self employed and doesn't like to pay people to do personal stuff on his dime. He also doesn't care for other employees getting into another ones business. He wants them to do the job they're paid for. He's not paying anyone to worry about what the other is doing. That would be like babysitting a bunch snot nosed tattle tail kids all day long. He's pretty laid back and doesn't worry much about what they're doing as long as the job is getting done. I think this guy was way out of line to say that stuff to you. I don't really understand what it is about people making comments like that. Are they threatened by the fact that you know something about a topic they are ignorant about? I share alot of stories and ideas from YT with my hubby, he always seems to enjoy hearing them. He also knows how much my little dog means to me and he loves her as much as I do.

MizMaRLeysMoM86 · 07-09-2009, 02:34 PM

Ok I hate having to rehash what I have already said... first off.. when the guy ( my co-worker) said " how do you like at this s**t all day" he was referring to the free time we get ( a lunch a 2 ten min breaks ) . I go straight to YT and no other websites so he finds it a bit obsessive, but whatever. Some websites at work are blocked but this one is not. My supervisor knows about it, some other people in the office are apart of different forums at work, the guy that made the snide comment is apart of a runner's forum. So before a million other people read this thread which I thought was dead and long gone. I AM NOT USING "WORK" TIME TO YT. I am simply choosing to come here on my lunch a breaks that I am given at work to do whatsoever I please. I am a hard worker and do not slack off. THank you!

He's just jealous that you've got a good site to visit, would be better if we didn't even have to work then I could spend more time on YT and more time with my baby and we also wouldn't have to put up with snide comments from work colleagues.

roxies_mom · 07-09-2009, 04:35 PM

I totally understand you. The guy was a rude I'll just say butt. Plus he should mind his own business. I'm addicted to this site so how could I not understand?

sandyapk · 07-09-2009, 04:49 PM

Just tell him to take a flying leap!!

You are smart to spend time here!!! Glad to have you!! How much longer is your tour?

sandyapk · 07-09-2009, 05:15 PM

OP:

I would not be bothered by the statements people here on YT make about you surfing the net while you are at work.

CLEARLY they did not read your post about how you are doing this on your lunch breaks, and free time.

I don't think you need to be corrected any more about this!!

Instead I want to say thank you for serving your country and being overseas!!
I am glad you can get a taste of home here on this website. If there is anything I can do for you please do not hesitate to ask!!

Maybe I can make you a harness for your dog. Send me its measurements, neck and torso behind the legs. And pm me the address to send it to.

Is it a boy or girl!! Would love to do something nice for you!!
