Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?

[Meh]

You are one tough cookie.

Bones, that's really cool that you take your time out to help these people practice. It sounds like most people wouldn't want to depend on having someone like that guy respond to a real emergency situation. I'm not sure that every person who is socially challenged is Narcissistic but GOSH, people...sheesh.... I think about how odd people behave as far as interacting with one-another.

I had an old coworker/friend for 10 years- she insisted that people are really getting stranger and stranger, don't know how to just be "normal" act socially normal.

I'm not sure what the problem is but I think people are just going nuts. Road rage etc.

I know I feel nuts but I wouldn't interfere with something serious like CERT.

Hey! Did you get photographs of you in all your make up? You could send them out for Halloween cards.  

Bones, I bet he was "implanted" as part of the CERT Olympic testing. Probably they want people to be ready for distractions and confusions and people just behaving oddly and irrationally because you know that is an element in real emergency situations, people are confused and scared and maybe a CERT person responding to a real situation would encounter people acting randomly.
Maybe they are testing people's ability to stay focused under all conditions.

Do you think maybe he could have been an implanted(not sure what term to use) distraction?

Glad he was kicked off either way.

Thanks, Starlight.  I asked those specific questions and was told that he acts SELF-ABSORBED and SELF-CENTERED ALL THE TIME and brags how IMPORTANT he is!  It's gotten to the point that others cringe as soon as he arrives because he starts demanding that everyone stop what they are doing and focus ONLY ON HIM!  (He reminds me of a male version of Hyacinth Bucket of "Keeping Up Appearances".)  So, no, he was not a "plant", unfortunately.  It just made me question the reason(s) why he would show up for CERT trainings and drills if he was going to do nothing else except being an obstacle no matter what while being convinced, in his own mind, that he's hysterically funny and demands a laugh-track for everything he does.  He's the type of "ambulance chaser" that would make any emergency situation worse.  If anyone deserves to be BANNED from everything, that would be him!

There were pictures taken.  I don't know how long it will be before the pictures are shared on various CERT websites.

I've noticed that the "Below the Line" comments have completely stopped.

Yesterday afternoon, on Judge Judy, a plaintiff was suing her ex-husband for her half of the tax return that he took.  (They were still married when they filed and separated shortly afterward but he snatched the entire refund.)  Turns out that he was paying only a token amount of court-ordered child support, for two young children still in diapers, that amounted to TWO DOLLARS PER DAY PER CHILD!  (THAT DOESN'T EVEN COVER THE COST OF DIAPERS LET ALONE FOOD!)  Then the defendant ex-husband tried to flip the script claiming that his ex-wife OWED HIM for EVERYTHING he gave her for the children!  (The children's mother has physical custody.)  He also made matters worse when he commented that he chose to move out of state to follow his new girlfriend plus admitted that he was in arrears with his child support!

And he had the nerve to wonder why Judge Judy wiped the floor with his dead-beat lead-ass!!

Thanks, Starlight.

Green Man Festival is taking place and I'm planning on going to that.

BTW, when I read "Dear Abby" this morning:

http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/?uc_full_date=20120511

It sounds like the brother is the NGCB and his parents don't care what he does to his sisters.  NParents and NGCBs like that make me SICK!   

[BonesMS]

Today's "Dear Abby" seems to be dealing with some N's:

Looks like "Dear Margo" is also dealing with some N's as well:

I find it interesting that the "Annie's Mailbox" no longer has "Below-the-Line" comments, which were often MUCH WISER than the two idiots!

Bones - Did you see this one? The second one is about an N Mother who is so enmeshed with the Dad that being NC w/ Mom likely means relationship with Dad will be strained too.  Reading the article - I found something to be grateful for - I loved my Dad alot, he was a wonderful man, and I was always on good terms with my Dad until he died in 2000. I did not discover my mom was N until 2008/2009 and did not go NC until 2010, so he never knew about it and it never affected our relationship.

Anyway, thanks for your posts Bones. Hope you are doing good today.
