Having something redone that I had put energy into would SOOOO tick me off. Message sent: "You didn't do it right. I had to go in behind you and correct it."
I hate having it assumed before I even try, that I'm probably going to screw up. I hate it when people are too quick to offer "helpful" suggestions, like I can't figure it out on my own. I hate it when people question what I said because I said it, and therefore it must be wrong, because everybody knows I'm nuts. I hate being ordered to do something I was just on my way to do, as if I didn't have the intelligence to know it needs doing, and the initiative to do it. But mostly, I hate being told some basic elementary fact any four-year-old of normal intelligence would know. I actually had a co-worker tell me once that helium balloons float away if they're not weighted down. Oh, excuse me, do I have "stupid" tattooed on my forehead?
