i just asked someone next to me if they wanted some help with a minor problem they were having. in fact, if they would have accepted my help, all would have been well. instead, they coped an attitude with me. i hate it when people pop an attitude problem when all you are trying to do is help them. i didn't prod the person. i just let them know that i had the solution to their problem. the person was just mad because there is only one internet connection in the house and i am using it. you see, i have to work using the interent connection. i run my own business. this person wants the connection so they can play games (game addict), that bennefit absolutely no one and nothing. if i give the alternative solution he wants and just give up the connection. i will not be able to do my work untill he goes to sleep at 9am in the morning! so, i guess he is salty about. nevertheless, i don't care where the attitude comes from. it just gets on my nerves. how about you? do you hate it when people cop a hissy fit.
p.s. by the way, this person i am talking about is a guy. this makes it worse for me because there is nothing like a guy prima donna.

Hi moon gypsy: What a horrible attitude i have toadd. This guy really acts like a prima donna but according to what you said you are right with your attitude and it's good that you don't allow this person to use the internet while you really need it. And that's the reason why he acts in an inmature way? Well he has to notice someday how ridiculous is his attitude. I am a little bit sorry for you because i know how it's to deal with a person like this. Be patient, that is all i can tell you girl. Hopefully time will make him see that you are right and he is acting wrong. Thanks for sharing with us this situation. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care.

It all depends on the situation. In this case this person is just being petty. They didn't get their way and they through a fit. If you pay for the internet connection, and you need it for business, then he can just wait. If he doesn't like it, Too Bad. If he really wants to get on when he wants to, then he should invest his money in a computer for himself. If you only have one internet connection than he should simply buy a wireless router. Problem solved! If he cant or wont do either of those things, he obviously doesn't want it bad enough.

Hi raven blade: I totally agree with you and as you have mentioned it's so easy to solve this situation if he wants but if he doesn't do anything he must at least be polite with you and wait while you are working because it's your own right to use it until you need it, and he just keep playing.. for free. This doesn't make sense to me. Thanks raven blade for your answer. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays. Take Care.

He sounds like a freeloader to me, but I could be wrong since I don't know what his relation is to you. But I must agree with you, it's very irritating/maddening when people around you throw fits because they can't get what they want, and what really scares me is the way children behave. They must always have what their friends have, even if they don't need it, irrespective of whether you can afford it or not and the fits they throw when they can't have it.
I'm single and know I am selfish, but have noticed that this is a trait I share with more and more people, irrespective of whether they are single or attached with a string of children and this trait is being passed on to the children, who act as if the world belongs to them and everyone owes them.
Well, enough is enough, we should all be considerate of each others needs and feelings, because the world belongs to all of us and no one owes us anything.
