crawl back under that rock

Why is it that when something bad happens all the creepy crawlies come out to make the bad even badder?  (Yes, I recognize that is not a real word, but it fits my socio mind!) You haven’t heard a word from them in days, months, years and yet they slither out of the dark hole  they live in, to make your life, which is not in the best place, even worse!  I have some advice to these cellar dwellers…GO AWAY!

Let’s think about this for a moment.  You have a relationship that ended.  You are not on speaking terms. You haven’t heard from them in years. You wish they had fallen off the face of the earth. You hope they have painful boils on every inch of their body, especially down south, oozing green goo. You pray that the next time you see them is….hmmm…..how about NEVER?  If you see them in your neighborhood, you move. If you see them in a store, you never shop at that store again!  I don’t care if it is the good Target that you love with all your heart and soul because they have the good soda that no other Target has.  It’s gone; you will never walk in that store again.

I think you get the picture, but here is the question I am pondering, when something really really really (100 more times) bad happens, why does this creature from the black lagoon, (remember that movie?)  think it is the right time to pop back into your universe and call you?  No!  No!  Hard NO!  Do not call me. Do not Facebook message me. Do not text me.  Do not have your wife, girlfriend, sibling, grandma, neighbor, random stranger from your world contact me in any way. 

If the relationship is over, there is no reason to think that the person who wasn’t welcome in my world in the best of times, is now somehow going to be magically welcome in my world in the worst of times.

NO, you can’t do anything for me!  (Wait, you can, disappear!)

NO, I don’t care how sorry you feel! (Even though you are one sorry son-of-a-bitch!)

NO, I don’t want to help ease your conscience! (Come on, we both know you don’t have a conscience!)

Go look for someone who cares! Spoiler alert- it’s NOT me!

In the end, the only thing you CAN do for me is disappear forever, right back underneath that rock that you crawled out from under, AND STAY THERE!
