Why Do People Have to be Haters??

edited May 2012 in The Porch
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:

    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

    I am not a hater of my sister. I was pointing out that when we exercise to her music, I don't say a word even though I do not like it. So, she should respect me enough to be quiet when a Pearl Jam song comes on. She knows how much I like the band and that I have gone to many of their concerts. She could just tolerate it. She just really hurt my feelings the night I posted the comment because she wouldn't let up through all of "Black" about what a horrible singer Eddie is. I do not "hate" my sister- she is just causing my workout to suck. I realize different people have different tastes in music, but if you care about someone, you do not rip their taste apart, that's all.

    I totally agree with what your saying here,and just wanted to say that if your doing 50/50 on the music,and she's hating on it like that then she's just being a bitch! No offence :lol:

    Why don't you tell her exactly what you told us? While not everyone has to like Pearl Jam, I don't see why it is necessary to put them down; I don't think you are putting down what she likes....Tell her how you feel but in a way so she doesn't get defensive.

    having a genuine respect for someone else's differing opinion is a hard thing to accept

    haters will always hate. it's a fact of life.

    I know that you want to work out to music...but in this case, it might be necessary to work out without tunes, just to keep the peace. Workout music is just not worth this level of frustration.

    Just go running after your workout, and take your iPod full of PJ along. I have been running to PJ tunes for 20 years and never get tired of it.

    Also, I would imagine she says those things because she knows how you'll react and its easy to wind you up. At the end of the day, its just a band. No need to be upset because someone doesn't like your favourite band

    That,if your sis don't like PJ, she is the one who misses it, and even though we get happy one new 10C members appear here, specially if they are young, in a way we are glad that we aren't that many, otherwise, goods will be sold out even faster...
