Why Do People Have to be Haters??

Just venting. I workout twice a week with my sister and a trainer that we hired together. She is four years older than me. We like to use our IPODs when we work out. My sister has different tastes in music, so we trade off: one day my IPOD and one day hers. I usually put my IPOD on shuffle. Well, naturally since I have many PJ songs on my IPOD there may be a few PJ songs each workout. Everytime it is PJ, she puts the band down, b--atching that she cannot understand Eddie. She never tries to listen to understand. She also makes negative PJ comments other times as well. Meanwhile when it is her IPOD days, I have to hear crap like Lady GaGa. I show more class and just concentrate on my workout and try to tune out her music. Today she was so negative that it makes me want to stop working out with her at all, which makes me even more angry because I am the one who originally found this trainer. It is hard for me to understand at all how someone cannot like Pearl Jam, but more than that- it should be about just tolerating each other's differences. I posted this here because I figure no one else would understand :!:

    normally i would suggest kicking her in the box, but since it's your sister......

    i suggest snagging her ipod when she isn't looking and swapping out all her music for pearl....win win.

    LOL- I like the idea of switching out her music to PJ. There's no way that I would take PJ off my IPOD so she just has to deal with it :lol:

    If I ever meet a girl like you who thinks like this I'll fall blindly in love and she'll take me for everything I've got.

    Hatin' is like being an alcoholic - you can't help those who don't want to help themselves - if she doesn't want to help herself to a helping of Pearl Jam - more for you :D I'd say it's her loss

    :roll: Maybe some day her eyes and ears will open..........

    Just reset her ipod to the original configuration and be done with it. By the time she reloads all the songs something else will be popular.

    Orrrrrr.

    You could just grow up and accept that not everyone has to love your band. You're acting like a spoilt brat who thinks you are better because you listen to such a band. Maybe when you accept that other people have music tastes outside of yours, you might be able to help yourself more. But then again, 'they just won't get it'

    'Why Do People Have to be Haters??' Well, you're one as well. Take a look in that mirror.

    Lots of people don't like PJ ...
    shocking but true

    in my life it has been the rule, one reason why I am here.
    Others don't hear what I do.

    Music is a personal thing / taste perhaps you could be an example and enjoy her music
    or let the trainer pick the music maybe you'll both like that or even better
    you pick her songs she picks yours and you please each other instead of yourselves :D

    The real tragedy is forgetting your iPod altogether! Sux to workout to nothin' but the hum of treadmills and the slamming of weights. :cry:
