Ugh. Hate them! I'm not talking about people who see potential issues and offer solutions ahead of time. I'm talking about people who have reason after reason why something (anything) won't work or will be a hassle or etc. etc. and offer no solution. I'm sure you all have experienced this breed of self-absorbed individual. They suck the life out of everything. Worse than any "Debbie downer".
Example: I have a GF here who I am about to give up trying to do things with because she has an endless litany of reasons we/she can't do things. Last week I asked her if she wanted to go to a special event at a local micro-brewery (pig-roast and release party) but noooooooooo! She has a friend who has a micro brewery that isn't do so great and if she found out we went to this event "it would send her over the edge".
Another time we were out and I needed to stop at the grocery store - I wanted to go to my usual one in town but noooooooooo! "It has bad energy".
Asked her to go to a friend's house but noooooooooo! "I swear it's haunted".
Over the last two days I've been texting her about going wine tasting (it's Spring Release Weekend here in W2) but we can't go to this winery or that winery because she doesn't like someone who works there and we can't go downtown because it will be too crowded and on and on and on.
Personally I think it's all a control thing - everything needs to be about her but I'm telling you I'm just about done. Roadblock people suck!
