I'm Very Nice

I do nice things for people, passively, on a regular basis at work. Some people that I deal with do things that keep me from doing the normal, nice little extras that I usually do. I want to tell them that I would do this or that for them if they would stop taking the opportunity away from me. For some reason it really chaps my hide. If I don't get to do the "nice thing" that I was planning on doing, I don't turn into "regular Amber", I turn into "more irritated than I would normally be Amber". This doesn't make sense and it makes me question my own motives. It also makes me think that those people think I must not be nice enough to do nice things and that is why they preemptively do them themselves, thereby robbing me of the opportunity and making me furrow my brow.
Don't make me get mean, y'all.

I promise to give you every opportunity to do nice things to me that you could desire. Er, for me ;)

If my girlfriend approves, of course.

You quite generous in blogdom. It does not surprise that you should be kind in person.

To quote the great Frank Burns, "It's nice to be nice to the nice." You feel really good about being nice because it is what you were built for. Some would say that you have the wrong motive if you are being nice to feel good. I merely think that feeling good is the manifestation...perhaps consummation of being nice.

You think you have problems? In Sweden, you can't give anyone anything or do anything for anyone without putting them in debt to you. Some people almost resent kindness because it's such a burden. You have to say, "Do you want this old piece of junk that I never liked and was going to throw away anyway?" or they won't accept it. Or, "Oh, it's okay, I need to recharge my car-battery anyway, so driving you to the hospital at four a.m. is no problem". Alright, I'm exagerating a little, but NOT MUCH.

maybe i should move to sweden and begin a reign of unpolite terror. i will not cover my mouth when i sneeze or say excuse me. that should get them to thinking, shouldn't it?
mister underhill, i hope your girlfriend is the forgiving sort. you are incorrigable.
gar, is that now actually you on your profile pic? or is it a secret.
brendar, what do you suggest the punishment be for denying someone the consummation of niceness? i'm voting for harsh.

Oh, and my girlfriend, she knows that I love her more than anything in the world and no other woman has any chance at stealing me away to even a tiny degree for even a moment.

That is why she doesn't mind *too* mch but I should be better just to let her know how much I love her.
