Pet Peeves: I HATE people who never use their verbal filter! Are you forced to be around someone like this?
In high school I thought the "mean girls" act would be over once we graduated but I guess some people just cant let it go. I'm a nursing student and have one of these overgrown "mean girls" in my clinical group. I love everyone else and for being a group of women we are surprisingly drama free... except for this one!
This girl has no verbal filter; constantly talking about others in the group behind their back. I have seen her laugh and joke with one of her "close friends" then walk a few FEET away and talk about that "friend" to another "friend." She made fun of one girl and her fiancee when the day before she had complimented them as we were passing his pic around. WTF?!
Once we were standing in the hospital and she LOUDLY (no volume filter either) says some non PC racial joke to me. I was about to say something jokingly back to her when I noticed my pt.'s daughter was standing RIGHT behind the girl just gaping at my classmate like "I can't believe she said that!" I just moved away from the girl and once my pt's daughter had gone back in her mother's room I continued quietly joking with my classmate. But COME ON we are in a professional setting pay attention to whats going on around you!
Do you have to deal with anyone like this?

I used to be like this! then I realised why I couldn't keep a job or friendship. She needs to be told she is doing it, trust me, she thinks nobody is aware of it. I used to be like that because I had low self esteem, I thought by constantly talking about the faults in other people nobody would notice mine, but it backfires, big time.

We know QUITE a few people like this.
1. (especially), lives in our family. They are not blood related, THANK GOD, but they fit all of these descriptions. I am wondering if you are talking about the same person. Her name starts with a T, and ends in a Y. Is that her? Email me. Rofl. She's told us everyone hates her, and I didn't understand for several years that we knew her, then one day we found out EXACTLY why no one liked her, but in fact hated her. she is a WITCH.
2. Someone else in our family we live with, no volume or verbal filter. AT ALL.
3. I believe there are some people like this at our church, but they "hide" it a little better there, but can still be annoying.
I know no one is perfect, but like you said, PAY ATTENTION TO WHATS GOING ON AROUND YOU. People are people. That's why I dislike them. And those with no self control should be transfered to a deserted island so they can all torture eachother with their nonverbal nonvolume filters. They can always clear off greenland and put the mean people there, and move the nice greenland people to wherever they took the psycho people from.

Sorta. I have to deal with myself. I don't have a verbal filter but what I say about somebody behind their back, I've already told them to their face. And I don't change my story. It remains. I think she does have a filter because she says certain things to some people and not to others. More like a sorter or redestributer. Don't worry though, it'll bite her in the *** one day abd probably has already.
