Pisces friend last night posted an angry rant about his big boss (company owner) on his Facebook, basically calling her a fat stupid c*nt.
She is not on his friends list but some of his co-workers are ... and you know that shit is going to get back to her, one way or another!
Now, this guy is known for TMI, and in the past has posted really personal things while over-emotional that he has later deleted. But this is a HUGE lapse in judgment... even for him.
I sent him a private message advising him to take that shit down and also sent him an email about it in case he posted it while drinking and didn't remember Drunkbooking last night. He hasn't responded, but I just saw that he has been on Facebook this morning ... and so he must've seen it ... and still hasn't taken it down.
Is he being passive aggressive and trying to get himself fired? Or just being stupid? I honestly don't know.

I am not a Pisces of course, but I know where the guy is coming from. When you get pushed to the limit, you can't hold your tongue. I've been fired from jobs where I went off on the managers/bosses. Just my last job, they said I could be heard from across the building, that's not to mention my temper has gotten the law called on me inside my work place and out. I am a peaceful person but I have my boiling point, sounds like he is at that place. With or without cause, your actions have consequences.

I'm not him, but if I was, though currently satisfied with the decision. I'd later find it a mistake and regret it. I'd be like "why'd I say/do that? was it worth the loss? I have better control than that". It's an impulsive, irrational plea to get fired - definately. His choice. *shrug*



Impulsive, irrational, yep yep, that's him.
He does this type of dumb shit on a regular basis.

I have co-workers and boss mans children on my facebook. Never vent about work, if you bring it up at all keep it in "general info" territory. Whinging about it like that on a social site makes you look like a tit. That whole 'shitting where you eat' thing. Not to mention KNOW WHAT AND WHOM YOU ARE DEALING WITH. If the work environ resembles the cast of 'Glee' with all its high school crap or is a nest of vipers they can stuff it for personal information. Take the irritation to friends, or email ( if it's general bitchery, we all know work is a pain at times ) or even to the higher ups so something can be addressed.

I don't throw things but I can become aggressive. That is when rationalization goes out the window.



Haha. As well as a plethora of nearby objects..... and the boss/co-worker if they happened to be in the same room at the time. Problem solved! Just got to face the ensuing charges and jailtime for it. 😛

Nah, if I'm going to jail I will want to use my own body rather than objects. Still, I don't resort to violence unless I have to.

Getting things out in the air is alright, but not if you're corn-holing yourself out of your living.


Isn't that the truth! I was almost able to afford to start my divorce.... people just aren't hiring.....everything is in foreclosure these days....homes, businesses...we should be smarter about our decisions. It took my friend a year to find a job closer to her home.

You are a bunch of busy-bodies .... it's his fucking business.

If he's content with his own decisions ... then stfu and mind your own


Why don't you stfu and stay off this thread if you don't like it. Talk about busy body....don't you have anything better to do? You've spent the last six years here sticking your fat nose in every one's business.

As I was reading this thread I was kinda waiting for someone to chime in and be like "so why are you involving yourself with this?"

I'm not trying to be rude, but I assume this Pisces is a grown man... Or at least a sorta grown man.. I just know that I don't like when my friends try and parent me.

I have a Virgo friend (sun moon and merc-while I am sun moon and merc in Pisces) who often reminds me of things I'm supposed to do, and is a bit critical and mocking of my judgements in life.. She very much tries to parent me and I very much resent it.

Not saying your situation is exactly like that, just pointing out that you may think your Pisces needs advice ... Just like my Virgo friend thinks I am like, a lost puppy... But I'm not, I just appear that way cause a lot of times I am caught up in random imaginings.. Lol. Your Pisces friend may know exactly what they're doing, and they may be doing it with conviction.

Ha. My little sister is a Virgo and she is exactly the same with me, despite her being 13 years younger!

LOL You might be surprised to know that I find her quite insightful at times, I laugh at a lot of her humor. It's the whole grain of sand to my oyster with the intentional stuff. That's just mode of delivery. Of course she'll hop on here and accuse me of sucking up or flattering for no apparent reason. List A-Z reasons of why in her opinion I suck ass, but that's alright, maybe nothing at all. No skin off my butt. It's just P. You can scratch at it like a chigger bite and further inflame the area, or put calamine on it and call it a day. Your choice. 🙂

I still love her though, little shit that she is. 🙂



I do love my friend too, she is one of my best friends.. Even tho she can drive me nuts, we compliment each other in quite a few ways. I help her chill, settle, find happy feelings, resolve social concerns. She helps me plan, organize, think straight, get things done, etc. I'm sure this is similar for you missp.

I actually agree with you on all accounts here. I've said it myself, but that was on my previous profile. Yeah, to admit it will only make her feel more powerful and see you as weak for saying so. Either way I don't care what she thinks either. Entertaining, she is. Just like I get my own enjoyment out of commenting back.

Heh. It wasn't so much parenting as much as trying to alert him to its presence in case he posted it while drunk and didn't remember ...he's done that shit before.
It's funny, as long as I've known him it's like he can't have a feeling without letting the world know about it ...like he needs an audience for his emotions. A part of me admires that (because I am the opposite) and I thought that was typical of Pisces until I started reading these forums, hehe. This is one example of that behavior.
Anyway he did take it down yesterday, just had to get it out there I guess.

Okay so here is what I wrote (copy pasted to email):

Dude... Check your status, did you mean to post that? (his coworker/FB friend) is up (boss') ass? If you don't want fat cunt to see that, FFS deletedeletedelete! If you do... hmmmm then you'll be free to join me in Mexico next month after all ... ....... *new subject*

Is this parenting? I don't see it that way, I see it as having his back. ... In the same way that, for example, I drive by his place and see his car parked out in front of his building with the car door wide open. At that point I would alert him that he left it like that, and see if he is indeed trying to get it stolen, or whether he went to get something from his car while drunk and left it like that by accident.

It is spotting dumb behavior that could easily hurt him and checking to see if he is doing it on purpose. I would want my friends to do that for me, and I don't consider that parenting, but now I am curious as to whether others would interpret it that way.

Wow, what a controlling bitch .. you drive by people's house to make sure they are taking care of their own business according to what you think is proper.

The only dumb behaviour it is your right to spot is on yourself.

when i was an elder teen and used to go out with friends or wherever, my parents would always remind me to NOT TO COME LATE.

i always did come late. sometimes it was on purpose and out of spite because they ruined my mood upon leaving; other times there were reasons for coming late.....


don't patronize.



Okay, if you read my message that I sent to him (posted above), do you consider that patronizing? I don't, but I want to know other people's opinions and this is why I'm asking. I am a "do unto others as I would have them do unto me" type of chick, and using the hypothetical that I posted earlier, if someone were to pass my car and see it left open, I would want them to let me know. Using what actually happened, if I posted something harmful on Facebook that I may have posted while drunk, I would want someone to ask "did you mean to do that?" ... but if other people find it patronizing, I would reconsider.

So, was that patronizing? Should I say nothing and assume he was sober and clear-thinking when he posted that/ should I pass the open car door and assume he meant to leave it like that?

^ sorry hidey formatting error

I would hate to think that I come across as pushy or smothering to anyone. For what it's worth, I too hate, hate haaaaate unsolicited advice and have cut people out of my life who are in the habit of telling me I should do this or I should do that.

This is why I am asking... was what I wrote him patronizing/ parenting/ smothering? Would you interpret it that way? Would you get offended or angry if a friend sent you that message?
I personally don't think so but that is why I am on these forums, to get opinions and ideas beyond my own perceptions. As someone who is constantly seeking improvement of self and relationships with others, I do want to know if my words or actions could be received in a way I don't intend, and to what degree.

Now, you are back-pedalling, tyring to make it sound like you were being considerate of him and didn't mean to be controlling ... which of course is a lie, since in the OP you said that the next day has arrived and he still has not taken it down .. which means he was then sober and you are still bitching about him not taking it down.

When you asked this question of him wanting to get fired .. it's the next day ... and you were still trying to control him in the aspect that you were awaiting him to remove it because you're a controlling bitch who drives by your friends house to see if what they are doing is in accordance with your approval.

It doesn't make a fucking difference whether he was clear minded when you wrote it the night before .... when the next day came and you saw him on facebook, you were still attempting to direct him into doing what you want.

Don't worry .. it's only a matter of time before he realizes your true colors, and purges you.

why would you assume he did not mean it? he meant every word haha. 🙂 he sounds very simpatico.



He has been known to Drunkbook 😉 it's usually TMI about his sex life or whatever, so who cares, but this was potentially damaging to himself.
But, you are right, he was not Drunkbooking just venting/emoting. A couple people wrote comments under thebstatus update like WTF, ARE YOU NUTS and a ton of people liked it, hahaha 🙂
He did end up taking it down the next day (I mentioned this on page 3) so he said what he wanted to say, got it out of his system, and then let it go.

And HEY I drunkbook too, it happens to the best of us ... my best friend has my password and permission to delete anything I post while Drunkbooking that I'm gonna regret later.
She has never had to use those privileges, hopefully I never give her just cause ... 😛
