Is it just me, or is "Give it up, you're not getting your shit back" really not appropriate?

"Oh, I am being constructive!

No, you aren't, sweetie. Not unless you either have my bag in hand or have the cash to replace everything in it! But I don't know, it's like she thinks what I really need and want is people dashing my hopes against the rocks!

THIS IS NOT HELPFUL.

Meanwhile, the newyorkers comm has its daily quota of "please adopt this cat" posts up in the form of a blind cat. This little ray of sunshine sure isn't commenting there going "Nobody's gonna want your blind cat, just toss it in the street!", even though we all do know that disabled kitties have a harder time getting adopted.

(Also, uh, anybody seen my bag? It has books in it!)

Edit: She's really just a very unpleasant person. I think if I go back there, I may lose it entirely, so could you do me a favor? Check in on the post a few times and if anybody ACTUALLY finds my bag or ACTUALLY has something useful to say, let me know? I hate to ask the favor, but I would like to refrain from cursing. I think I've been very good today.

Let's give it a few days and then have someone respond to her post comment and insist that they found it. Mostly because I want to see how she responds to that (if any).

That would be hilarious, but also a little mean.

It speaks very well of you as a human being. that you have no desire to be even just a little bit mean to this person.

Well, I was mad at her, because really she wasn't very nice at all, but pulling a practical joke on her expense wouldn't change her behavior in the future, and it wouldn't really make me feel much better. I can have the same feeling of glee just by picturing her response - except in the end, I hope to get it because I legitimately recover my stuff :)
