Endless Curiosity

I couldn't have said it better.

Years ago I caught a girl who worked for me stealing money. She claimed that it was the only time she had done it, but the cash drawer had been coming up short for some time. She had worked for me for five years at that point, and I viewed her as a daughter. Her husband had been out of work for almost a year, and she had three kids. So instead of firing her I gave her additional responsibilities, paid her extra for it, and helped her to build up her clientelle. I also installed a camera over the cash drawer and told her that if I ever caught her stealing again she would be fired immediately. A year later she quit, taking $80,000.00 worth of business with her. And after reviewing invoices that she did the ordering for I discovered that she had been padding the orders and stealing product. Still, I have no regrets for giving her that second chance. Sure, it stung. But I gave her an opportunity to rise above. Sometimes good people do bad things.

What goes around comes around... I hope so, anyway.

You can only feel good about what you did for her. She should only feel bad about what she did to you. And if someday someone does something similar to her, well...
 
sigh.. I suppose I should clarify my previous statement...

I do not give up on people, rather I only allow them in so far after a breech if trust. Does that make sense?

I recently helped someone out financially. He knows he owes me, but is not required to pay me back. I don't necessarily trust him anymore, but I evaluate his responses more carefully than I did before, and yes, I would still help him if he needed it. I chalk that up to my paying things forward for a greater purpose as opposed to helping out one individual. But would I fully "trust" him? No.

Not sure if I'm being clear here..
 
This place is not as easy as the real world since you don't see the entire picture. I'm a social person, not so much a social media person

L:rose:

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure where I sit on online vs real time. Both seem to have pros and cons. Perhaps it's a matter of using different skill sets?

Emsway. What a horrible breach of trust! :(

It says a great deal about your character that you are able to focus on the positive in the situation. :)
 
This is something I've done often. I'm learning to look for the motivations of others, to try and determine if the action/words had malicious intent or if it was just "I didn't know that would hurt you." It's not easy and frankly, if the hurt is deep enough, knowing the logic behind it doesn't matter. I'm trying, though.

I used to be less flexible, more judgmental in a way, than I am now. My first thought is always to throw my walls up, but....

One of my older relatives. She plows through relationships like she's eating her way through a bag of chips. Divorced three times, and working on a fourth. She is not that old. (Though...how old do you need to be to be divorced 4X? :confused:)

Every breakup is peppered with a multitude of: "He should have known that would hurt/upset/devastate me!" Half the time I can't understand why she's upset even after the fact. I certainly don't know how the guy is supposed to know. :confused:

Anyway. Warnings from relatives. What you don't want to turn into....

...I really am going to have to quit telling family stories. :D
 
I don't have the proper question posting chromosome. And I am not interested in it, per se, I'm just dying to know what kind of question would be posed
 
I believe in 2nd chances and 3rd chances. I guess at some point I would be done with someone, but I do give breaks. Hey, I'm far from perfect and relationships are a complicated sort.

Me too! On that note, I'll send out another invitation for questions.

For the record, only one of the questions posed so far has been mine. We have a lot of curious Litsters and I appreciate all of your contributions.

And for those of you missing the second X, please feel free to ask away. I can "girl up" the question if needed. ;)
 
I'm still waiting on the fisting question

I tell you what.
I'll elaborate and let y'all decide on whether I'm being too harsh.... And I'll throw in a fisting reference for Y .

So, date one was great. Date two he threw up a little moody flag. Which I let pass. Date three he was an absolute ass to a perfect stranger and I told him that that behavior was kind of volatile, to which he took offense.
(I'm just saying, if you're going to be a dick to a complete stranger, then I see anger management issues. Sorry ( not sorry) but that's the direction my brain took.

So, I let him cool off. He wants a second chance because I don't really know him....

Ok. Altruistic me says, why not? You've got a point.

Well, we're adults. So we aren't going to wait to get freaky if we feel like getting freaky. ( My motto is, we're adults. We're not Virgins, and we all have baggage. Waiting to have sex at my age seems stupid.)
But.... We couldn't. He's super small.
Me? No problem. We'll work around the "little" problem if we can connect emotionally. He even thought using toys or trying fisting would be acceptable. I was ok with toys. Not too sure about the other..lol

But noooooo... He texts me the following picture and says because I have "fat pussy lips" he's going to have trouble penetrating me.

:eek:

Seriously?

Dude. Your Dingaling drew up to the size of a belly button, and I did not once point out that fact, so to blame ME for not being able to perform, I thought was a tad rude..

Then proceeded to ask me if they would shrink up the more weight I lost... :rolleyes:

Honestly. The way I see it, I should be given some Nobel Peace prize for not killing him right there..

And yet. He still thinks I'm being overly sensitive.

Wow..

I tend I think that I'm in the right here...lol
And who. Besides a twenty something has that "hamburger pussy" anyway???:D

Honestly, had it been anyone else who worked for me at that time I would have fired them. I gave her a second chance based on her years with me, and in hopes that she was doing something terribly out of character because of the financial situation she was in.
 
Dear lord, RA. Dump his sorry ass. And not because of his small penis. Because of his super sized stupidity gene. Text him a random picture of an asshole and say I'll always remember you, but...bye bye.

phew.. I was wondering what on Earth...
Glad I'm not the only one who feels the behavior was totally uncalled for...

(Snipped but left the "hamburger pussy" comment because it's too fucking funny!)

1. Umm, ok. You're completely in the right. He's completely in the wrong. I mean, really? Dude, no. If you need a ride along for an old school ass woopin', just holler. The truck is gassed up and my boots are by the door.

2. I don't know much about fisting (nothing really), but how in the world does "fat pussy lips" translate to "you can fit my entire hand in there, right?" I'm no gynecologist, but can't we all agree that outer lips have nothing at all to do with what can comfortably fit inside. *shaking my head*

3. You're not being overly sensitive. He's being overly stupid. Tell him he's a "good boy", toss a stick for him to fetch, and lock the door as soon as he's outside.

4. In regards to the hamburger: Still laughing. You're cracking me up!

Sounds like a colossal douchebag to me!

THANK YOU!
And the really funny thing is he wasn't talking about the lips . He was talking about the mons, which I admittedly have a chunky monkey, but.. FTLOG.....if your Wee wee was bigger than my 13 year old's you could get it in...

I'm just annoyed that I can't just shoot the lame ones like we used to do with livestock....
