[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Important Q: Are you a toilet bowl?

Posted: 10/5/2004 8:34:08 AM EDT

Do people normally dump their problems on you? Do they use you to voice their rants and grievances?

If someone were to do that, how would you handle the situation.

referring to yourself as a toilet bowl eh?

sounds like a German Shiezer(sp?) fetish to me

It depends,

I listen, but if they really are just heaping shit on me, than I move on, or find something else to be interested in.

I want to help, but Im not a scratching post.

never thought of it that way.

I' always happy to lend an ear to people.

What's on your mind?

I start ranting about the Metric System and they usually go away.

My friend and I used to say that - "Don't be dumping on me" or "I ain't your toilet bowl"

Just wondering how you handle it when people have "boundary" problems and dump their problems on you, esp. strangers or casual acquaintences.

This is old ground, best covered by the late great Sam Kinison... his term to describe what you're talking about was the "emotional tampon." And its pretty accurate:

I've become some kind of emotional tampon
that you need four or five days a month
when no one else will take your fucking bullshit.
