All in good fun; don't kill me OK? :Q:p

[rant] I love my girlfriend, I really do. But she really needs to grow a backbone. She has this ungodly fear of stepping on anybody's toes. Sits in her dorm room and moans and groans about freezing her @ss off because the heater doesn't work, but she won't go down to the res life office to fill out a request form because she doesn't want to "disturb" anybody or "cause any trouble" . Umm...forgive me if I'm wrong, but that's what the maintenance crew is there for, no? Heater hasn't worked since about the middle of last semester. Still doesn't.

She got onto her computer today and couldn't get into her e-mail. Showed it to me to see if I could fix it; after all, I'm supposed to be the know-it-all computer geek (how I ever get myself stuck into these roles I'll never know, but for her I'll put up with it. :D) I knew what was wrong, but it was nothing I could fix. She had to talk to the people at the tech help desk. People she knew and has worked with. And again she didn't want to disturb anybody. I had to sit there and convince her to walk down and talk to somebody. Took all of two minutes for them to fix, and everything was perfect. [/rant]

Ah, I'll straighten her out one of these days :)

Instead of trying to convice her to do anything, just take the initiative and do it for her.

Wish I could. But they need written permission from her to go into her room. If I go down and fill out the form they won't do anything.

As they shouldn't. You can't change her mind for her... eventually it will get to a point where she does it herself.

I wondered how long it'd take these jokes to start :eek:

We'll get around to that eventually I suppose, but we're not in any rush.

its not that she doesn't have a backbone, she is just really shy. it only takes practice to get over something like that.

Oh, I agree completely; I was just saying that there wasn't anything I could do short of saying "stop coplaining and just fill the stupid thing out." Just have to wait until it gets cold enough I suppose.

LOL!

The only upside to a woman like that is she'll do just about anything you ask...

Mmm...

The downside, I'm more like that and I'll do anything Thumper asks, so I guess I'm the wuss in this family. ;)

I know, believe me I know. I was alot like that before I started working when I was 16 or so. Takes a little encouragement too, which I am more than happy to provide. Don't take this too seriously, I'm just blowing off a little steam :D.

I suppose so. I don't like pushing people around any more than she does; but it seems that I have less a problem doing it if push comes to shove. That said, I think I'm pretty much in the same boat as you GH, in that I will do just about anything she says. Not the sky diving though :p She swears she wants to go skydiving one day, but there's no way you'll get me to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. I told her that I'll just stand on the ground w/ the camera and watch her go splat. :D
