What the hell?

It's the nagging that does me. And I'm not the one being nagged at. Oh, and the caustic comments made about a person when they're not in the room.

Do I look like a counselor?

Uh, no.

Example A:
Man:....instead the captain rented the 2BR apartment in Coronado to his friends for only $2700, when he could have -
Woman: (interupts) - for $3000.
Man: (low voice, surprised expression) But you didn't see the place -
Woman: Excuse me! I hate when you do that. I read the paper. I know the market. I have a degree in real estate. (voice is continuing to rise). I don't know why you do that. It's rude!

Example B:
Man: Not Present
Woman 1: Clattering of pots.I don't know why 'Man' doesn't just put these away. Squawk squawk squawk.
....
Woman 2: How's it going? The wraps you're putting together seem pretty time intensive, but delicious. [Seems like and innocent comment to make.]
Woman 1: sigh. I've got SO much to do. sigh. I still have to make the potatoe salad. 'Man' was supposed to come home to day and boil the potatoes so all I would have to do is cut and mix the salad. But he didn't. Of course. So now I have so much more to do. One for the gipper I guess. blah blah blah

And the thing is - the conversation (if you can call it that) would have continued if I had stayed in the room. Even after I stated I had 'Man' with me all day (taking me to the job fair & running errands), she kept right on going. Shet ep!

Basically she sold the boss on the idea to serve free food to her bar customers. And she gets cranky when she's preparing the food because she's tired. None of which are my problems. Nor am I particularly interested in hearing. I don't mind listening - but not when it's always a direct attack on a family member of mine. And the snide comments made to noone in particular drive me mad. MAD.

I am hiding in my room. With the dog. eep. I don't know what I'm supposed to say.
