And people who talk sh-t about others behind their back... like hardcore hate and then in front of Me I see them kissing their ass and acting like they are besties... In this moment I KNOW they are talking the same type of hate against me to other people.

When singers sing, play their most famous songs in these new strange variants and arrangements where the song is basically unrecognizable and people are trying to sing, but also cringing in the audience.

There is this woman who has such a strong bad odor - she smells of a man who does not use deodorant. It's so shocking and off-putting when I catch her at the stairs... sometimes I gasp and even make a shocked sound in front of her... not caring if she sees me. I kinda even want to show her it's not normal and that I do sense it, I also make a face and put my fingers on my nose clearly showing I am in distress from something I have smelled... Then I have to open the whole building public windows after her.

She is a mid-age woman that looks good, is not poor or sick from what I see. It feels like she just doesn't think she needs deodorant... and at this point doesn't sense her own smell, because her brain is used to it.

So yeah, people who don't look after their body odor and stink up indoor public places - huge pet peeve.

I was reminded this today... people who leave their garbage in front of their door on the public corridor. I have no idea why and even if it's just for couple of minutes or an hour, because you were busy - IT IS stinking up the corridor. I too photos and will send them to the building manager. Thanks.

People who come into my house and break things. I've had a "friend" come and deliberately break a very expensive glass out of sheer jealousy. She was fixated on the glass earlier and when she broke it, I just knew she did it on purpose - she laughed about it and had a sinister look on her face. I hate when someone disrespects my belongings.

People who don't wash vegetables and fruit well enough and expect me to eat them when I am visiting them or around them.

This has happened so many times... I've been sitting at a table and noticing a dirty leaf of lettuce... or a friend literally opening a sealed bag of fruit and just putting them on a plate without washing first. Disgusting.

And thank God I always look carefully. But even if I look, sometimes I just say No, because I don't trust them.

Just recently I was out with a friend and she bought some cherries from the store, started eating them while we were walking and asked me if I wanted one. Of course not! And I told her how she is risking her health not washing them.  One of my neighbors' ate unwashed fruit and got a horrible case of worm infestation, which nearly killed him.  He survived after multiple surgeries!

When people don't get the hint that I don't want to communicate. These type of parasitic, never-ending messaging types, that you have to in the end tell STRAIGHT leave me alone till they get the point.

    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion. 
    • But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.
    • This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
