Dealing with difficult and unreasonable people can defo be a trigger for emotional eating............ if you let it!! So well done on that one in particular. I struggle with that but I am getting better at 'Grey Rocking' annoying people.

Just googled it. What a useful concept, thanks for sharing it Anne. I definitely could do with using this tool. In this situation it was a more a lazy colleague who dropped the ball and blamed me for it. On the balance, I will need to continue to work with this person for years to come, so I decided apologising for something I didn’t do in order to get said person to do what I needed them to do was better than trying to highlight that they were at fault.

Good tactic........playing the long game! Grey Rock is difficult with colleagues if you are trying to build a team, but once a relationship has broken down irretrievably it can tide you over until you have an exit.

Well done Suma! You're a better person than me. And you got what you wanted! (I thought "grey rocking" was like my old CD collection, but then I googled it too. Live and learn.)

Lol, grey rocking to your CD'S. 😄 you are lucky people never having come across Grey Rock. Maybe means you haven't had to deal with these people 🤢😀 on a longterm basis.

Oh you are good! I’m afraid I used wine to neutralise some negativity….

Anne, I’ve been using some of the concepts of grey 🪨 today and it is brilliant!

Hi Jamie, how’s the cycling? You’ll be pleased to hear mayonnaise is still very dear to my heart😋

Bearwood, I’m not a better person…I really needed this done so just had to cut my losses. I love the idea of grey rocking to music. I’m generally an angry 🐻

Anne, I wish I didn’t come across people who deserve grey rock. We all have them in our lives and we all travel different roads carrying some heavy baggage. I just refuse to be defined by it…I hope I’m making sense.

Trytry, I don’t drink alcohol. If I did, I have no doubt I’d be joining you to finish a whole bottle - it is 1 of your 5 a day after all😉
