So annoyed. Disgruntled and grar-y. Annoyed at idiots denying their culpability. Warm fuzzies of empathetic growls appreciated.

I hate when that happens. You got some GRARs from me.

Folks are fond of lying to themselves. I am no exception.

It's irritating. Growl away!

I am all about the GRARs today.

That cat is kind of hitting the uncanny valley for me!

Me, too, occhiblu, but it made me laugh, and I needed it. I'm not full of grars, just fucking tired. Up all night cleaning, up early with coughing kid. Home with now fine kid, still cleaning.

It made me laugh, as well.

I am feeling less growly today, though still generally annoyed at stupid people.

I should probably stop paying attention to "Dr Phil" at the gym. I suspect it'd lower my grar a great deal.

I could not agree with you more. Anyone can be inconsiderate or selfish at times. But the refusal to admit and apologize just makes the discourtesy infuriating.

It least you don't have to lie or go along with a lie; it's amazing how common that is, people expecting other people to play along or humor someone for the most idiotic and cowardly reasons. Shocking numbers of people think fact and opinion are interchangeable.
Go smack some idiots around. The way some people cling to ignorance is appalling.

Something about that cat. Today could be the first day in a while where I don't need hugs. Painkillers, yes. Hugs, maybe later.

Sending empathetic GRAR and whuffles your way. Apply alternately as needed, like putting hot-then-cold on a sprain.

OH THAT IS THE WORST. Or if not actually The Worst, at least Among The Worst.

I had to stop visiting my mother (who leaves the TV on in the background when I visit, which NO MOM THAT'S NOT INSULTING OR DISMISSIVE AT ALL THANKS) during Dr. Phil hour because I cannot handle the particular brand of GRAR that he fills me with. I'm sure there's GRAR-ier TV out there, but I haven't been routinely exposed to most of it*.

*We have recently started getting cable and I am amazed anew daily at the titles of shows and the fact that someone somewhere watches every one of them avidly.

My boyfriend has a GRAR, and we talked it out. He is still full of GRAWR, but a little less so.

*hugs*

Overdue empathetic growl here.
