The Daily Peeve / Rant

[ToomuchStuff]

Not really a rant but it's frustrating when you are really proud of something you did and someone comes along and makes a comment and it just takes the wind out of your sails.

Or they have different values and see what your doing as EGO and boasting.

I think I would he rather ignored it than to make a negative comment. I worked really hard on it and he pretty much said it wasn't worthy.

I've pretty much done both, as a big part of it is how much or many times someone goes on about something.
For instance, I know and have known way more then my share of professional athletes. Generally I am able to ignore them, or they try to do something to make the story relevant to me since I don't give a c about sports. But I have taken the wind out of their sales and also had to deal with being "gifted" something (or an "experience", aka want to hold the Superbowl trophy, etc), they think is doing me good, and I think of either as a dust catcher, or (in the case of an autographed jersey), a glorified, fancy dipstick oil wiper.
