Worst as in bad and makes no sense? If so then: The other day some dude got in my Instagram PM and begged me to paint a painting of his "dead parents" for free cuz he "has no money" and I kept on saying no unless he pays for it. And then he said that I had no emotions and I'm not an artist cuz everything I do is for money. LOL. I mean. I already done knew I have no emotions. ๐๐๐ So saying that didn't really make me feel insulted whatsoever.
But if you mean worst as in so bad it hurts.... Hmmm. I don't know. I don't get insulted that often. But my colleagues have said things like I eat grass and leaves cuz of my salads that I eat all the time. But their intent wasn't too insult me, I guess. ๐ But those comments do annoy me cuz they're kinda rude.
@DeKay I understand your art situation. For some reason people think musicians and artists should work for free. My trio has been slammed a few times just for asking for expenses .
Worst insult was when a patientโs family member called my private phone number (which they should not have had) accusing me of deliberately trying to kill their family member and threatening to โmake me pay.โ All I did was change their diet to something easier to swallow.
Q: what would you do with the money if you won the lottery?

I know, right? I just don't get why some people find it so hard to understand. Like you can't just go a restaurant and ask for free food. It's the same exact concept. ๐คฆ
Well, first of all I don't gamble so I can't join a lottery. ๐ But let's just assume it was like those lucky draw things (which I don't know if you consider that as lottery, but I don't)... Well, I guess it depends on how much money it is. ๐ If it's like $50,000, then I would want to renovate our house, maybe mainly the kitchen and make it all nice and modern. ๐ If it's like less than $10 000, then maybe I just buy a new laptop or something. I don't know. I don't really have anything in mind that I wanna buy right now actually. ๐ค๐ค
Are you saving up for a big purchase now? What is the purchase?
I try to strike a balance. I donโt go into debt with credit cards or unneeded purchases, but if I can afford something that I want without going into debt, Iโm okay with spending a little.
Nope. Every time I thought about it, it seemed like too much effort to be worth it, and the machines that are supposed to be high quality and reliable are way too expensive like $600 last I checked? No way would I do that.
@DeKay@cyncie that sounds horrible! I hope you can say to those people who expect you to operate as a charity: "This is how I make a meager living. I cannot afford to be a charitable trust or a philanthropist, but those do exist, so if you want donated goods or services, go ask them. As for me, I need my time to be spent, making money, to survive. If that offends you, go tell it to someone who has time to listen."
It felt good just to type that, for your sakes, even though it won't help because those people aren't the ones reading it. Oh well it's like when you have a bad dream and comfort yourself by coming up with an alternate ending.
In fact that's my question: do any of you do that also? Come up with alternate endings for a bad dream, in which the bad thing didn't happen or else you were able to fight effectively?
My local park and my backyard. I tried to dig a tunnel to connect the two. It didn't work and the lawnmower was mad at me. But I found some neat rocks in the process. ๐

I don't think I've come up with an alternate ending for a bad dream before. ๐ Cuz when I wake to find it's all fake, then I'd feel better anyways.
