Topic : 03/21 More Annoying People

i didn't get to watch much of the show today, but what i saw was crazy. there are some aniel people in the world, like the one woman who told people how to bag her stuff at the store. i'm a cashier and i hate people who do that. it's like damn to it yourself and leave me the hell alone. just because you are crazy and need controal over everything doesn't mean you have to tell me how to do my job.

I feel the exact same way. no way would I stand by and allow some one, I don't care who they are to purposely teach and coach my children inusing that filthy language. If this lady only changes one thing, I sure the heck hope she changes this particular behavior, if she were my sister (any one, for that matter) and didn't chill out, she would not be stepping foot in my home.

I think the problem is the fact that you are teaching and encouraging this child to say those words. It isn't like she is justhearing them because they slipped. I think you are very disrespectful for doing this and I hope you stop. She isn't even your child and you need to respect her parents in how they are raising her, they don't want her using the words so youneed to back off. I don't even let people cuss in my home, my home, my rules. my children, my rules. You are a very immature woman, I think it is you who needs to lighten up and I hope being on the show has helped you, c'mon, respect your family.

Gwen should be kept away from Angie's child, period.  Even Angie, an adult,  does not have to put up with such abusive behavior.  It's not cute, but thoroughly disgusting, and downright dangerous.

On your show Annoying People Show (3/21/06), you had a guest Michelle who was a control freak. You stated that you had stratgies to help her control her anxiety or exercises to help her manage her anxiety. I could not find those on your website. Could you send them to me.

Sounds to me that you are not getting it. We are not saying, "oh my god she said a bad word in front of that child." We are saying, we can't believe you teach it to her. That is a deliberate act, which you know is wrong! You think it is cute now, but how cute will it be when this little girl grows up, and uses it against you? I think you are really stupid if you don't see how wrong that is. Common sense escapes you. Time to grow up, and own up to your mistakes.

I'm also a Michelle clone....I don't tell workers how to bag the groceries though.  I just about fell out of my chair when she was pushing her grocery cart and had to have her groceries in a certain order in the cart.  I do this too....also because I want to be more efficient..get more in the cart, don't smash the fruits and veggies, etc.  Gosh I must be annoying to live with!  I don't refold socks though.  But I do like my house to be in a certain order and absolutely can't stand clutter.  I totally agree with Dr. Phil on this is how I control my anxiety.  I've always been this way...don't even remember how or when it started, but I'm sure I was a young child and it is very well ingrained into me now.  Dr. Phil makes it sound so simple..."The world won't fall off of it's axis if you just don't do this and that.  Let it go!"  Wish I could Dr. Phil.  So where is this info that Dr. Phil was going to provide for us control/organized freaks on his website?  Dr. Phil, you could do a whole show on this issue, you know??  By the way....you are my hero! 

Suzanne - I was a guest on the Dr. Phil show in May of 2005 with a very similiar topic as yours. I too am "obsessed" with the Dr. Phil show and was allowing it to interfere with "family time". I came home from LA and made some major changes and nearly a year later I say life is definately better with finding the balance of "my time". I could completely relate to you needing some time for what you want to watch. Mom's need time to unwind too. I'd rather be obsessed/addicted to Dr. Phil than some of the other "crap" that is aired on television these days. I hope all is going well with you and your family.

 When I was watching this episode, someone came to my front door and rang the doorbell and banged on the door.  I did what I had to do.  I ignored them and continued to watch Dr. Phil.
