The Wicked Witch from the Client
She was terrible. An absolutely horrible, nasty, witch of a person. She was dripping evil from every pore of her body. An absolute nightmare to deal with.
We held a meeting with her the other day, and from the moment she waltzed in 20 minutes late for our meeting, I could already feel the unpleasant aura filling up every space of our room. She threw a hissy fit about how she wanted more senior people to be involved, or otherwise, the meeting should be cancelled. It was a good thing that the person who called for the meeting remained firm, and handled her very well too I must say.
Are people born nasty, where its just second nature to them to be mean and rude to everyone around them? Surely they know how their words and actions affect others?
Or are they just naturally oblivious to everyone and everything else, and that the whole world revolves around them. Everything should be done to their liking, how they want it. In short, its all about them.
Do they even have to try to be this unpleasant? Does it take much effort in being this mean to everyone around them?
And why, why are they such terrible people in the first place? Were they brought up in a household so devoid of joy and happiness, that they simply do not have it within themselves to be even remotely civil to others (and we're not even talking about being nice here). Just civil, polite and proper.
Maybe they were beaten at home when they were kids, bullied at school, where everyone poked fun at them. Maybe they grew up in an environment where they were used to being belittled, and everything that they said or did were laughed at.
Could that be the reason why people are so mean and horrible to their fellow beings? Gee, if it is, I almost feel sorry for them. But then, I remember how unpleasant that meeting was, that I struggle to even wish no ill-will towards that monster of a person.
At best, I hope I never see her again.
