You're talking to a radio personality who worked while she had laryngitis, and who raised four kids alone after her drug addict ex died of his own prolonged stupidity. I cut a lot of slack to people but there are lines that I draw and I punctuate them in the blood of the idiots who try to cross 'em.

Show me the person who DOESN'T have a lot going on. I'm with you, babe, if someone's mess is too much for them to handle then they should remove themselves from other things, concentrate on the mess and not let their junk spill over onto other people. Doesn't mean we shouldn't ask for help or have to be perfect, but dang! Get a grip or get gone, Mr Looneytunes. Your crap is not other people's responsibility, they have their own crap. ~LA

It really depends on what the "a lot going on" is. Battling cancer while going through a divorce while staving off bankruptcy while mourning the death of a close relative entitles people to some slack, methinks, on the grounds that if it ever happened to you (in the general), they would give the same slack to you. My office is pretty tight, and we've been through a lot, plus we all know that life, not work, is the most important thing anyone has going on, so we try to be supportive. (Then again, you know how my office can be!) However boyfriend/girlfriend drama and court battles over things like speeding tickets do not constitute "going through a lot." Those things require the maturity of discretion. It's all relative.
