Perhaps more accurately titled "Things I Hate" or just plain "Stuff that Bothers the Shit Out of Me" I am in a mood, and really don't care right now. The problem is that objectively speaking, I know that when I wake up in the morning I'll probably regret writing this. The real test will be if I actually post this. You see, in my humble opinion, I've got to be the worlds biggest coward. But right now, this moment, I'm irritated enough to type this out. So here goes my list of things that bug the ever living crap out of me.
1. People whining. The sound of someone, especially children, whining is worse than nails on a chalkboard to me. My house is a whine free zone. I refuse to repond whining. Scarily enough this works!
2. Not taking "No" for an answer. With this one I'm a hypocrite. "No" to me is the beginning of negotiations. Although when I say "no" I mean "NO!"
3. People who aren't reliable. If you say you're going to do something, then DO it!
4. Lateness. If you can't be on time and not call to let me know, then that's just disrespectful.
5. Guys telling my husband how hot I am, in front of me. Seriously, it makes me feel like a friggin' piece of meat. Um "hello?" I'm standing right here. There is more to me than how I look.
6. Guys that stare at my chest. Looking I can deal with, staring is just rude. If you catch me oogling some guys ass or trying to figure out if he dresses to the left or the right, Pls let me know. I try to be discreet.
7. Asking my husband for permission to do something with me, before you ask me. I know to a male this denotes respect. To me it's fucking insulting. Last I checked I am my own person. If you wish to do something with me, ask me. Then if your conscience pricks at you ask my hubbie. I have yet to have a female to ask my permission in regards to my husband.
8. Assumption. This one is and all time irritant. Do not assume where I'm concerned. You want to know something, ASK! If i get mouthy, don't assume I've had too much to drink. I can be just as bad, or worse drinking Pepsi. My mind thinks that way regardless of what I'm doing, saying or ingesting. The more comfortable I feel with you the raunchier I can get. I expect you relize I'm not serious.
9. Using inebriation or being high as an excuse. Heads up people, alcohol and drugs serve as a truth serum. Nothing or nobody could make you do something you didn't want to just because you were "fucked up".
10. The "Blame Game" Similar to #9, but instead of blaming some sort of chemial intake, they pass the buck onto everyone else possible BUT themselves. Grow a pair. Take responsibility for your actions. We live in a world where nothing is our fault. Child throws a tantrum, give them a treat to stop the embarassment. Man can't commit to a relationship, no stable father figure in the home. Teen beats another classmate to death, TV violence. Are we really this ignorant?? Am I to believe that we can no longer tell right from wrong?? Is it possible that as a society that in our quest for equality we've become...stupid??
I hate that word - stupid. Especially when applied to me. Nothing raises my hackles faster than someone saying or even implying that I'm stupid. So it's a word I do not use lightly. I prefer to use the phrase "smarter than that." But I can find no other descriptive, other than, stupid.
Which just goes to show, that as much as I try to go by my personal code of ethics - I too am faliable. Sucks, don't it?
