When I was a kid, I was so nice and quiet. I saw good in everyone and frankly...I hadn't learned anything about having a bad attitude or just being grumpy for no reason.
However, I'm a grown woman now and there are just some days when I could just (((pop))) somebody in the nose.
Ever been to the grocery store and by some cosmic happenstance; you get in the line with the lady who is arguing about tomatoes that should be on sale for .78 cents a pound, but the computer rang them up at $1.12 lb. Argggg....so....the cashier has to hold up the line and get a friggin' price check.
Oh...and don't even get me started when you have to deal with cell phone conversations that should be held in private or misbehaving children, that for some unknown reason, have their parents in some type of trance--so, these children will scream, holler--throw horrible tantrums, and the mother will say: "Sweety, I know you're tired...we'll be going in a minute, ok?" What? Do you think a 3 year old listens to reason? My God!
If that had been me, my mother would have whooped--yes, (((whooped))) my behind from one end of the store to the next and would have dared me to cry.
Why do people these days expect you to tolerate their bad children? Why do they have 5 children just 4 1/2 years apart? Obviously handling one child is a problem--now they have a brew of them?
LOOK OUT SOCIETY!!!
You want to just scream at the top of your lungs.
I'm not a patient person and when I get irritated--THAT'S IT!!!
I'm extremely annoyed with people who aren't honest about how they feel and by the time they get to the point; I could have ordered a take-out lunch.
Most are taught or I should say...brainwashed by their parents to BE NICE, but lets be honest; are people nice to you all the time? And if not, what are we supposed to do when those people decide that they are going to knock you upside the head? Go crawl into a corner and quote Bible scriptures?
No!
I am taking a stand.
I don't sing We Are The World. I'm not holding anyone's hand--yuck! I don't know where those hands have been...I am a realist and yes, I can be nice, but there are times in life when it is absolutely necessary to stand up for yourself.
Please...don't think I am some maniac, who's out of control. No, quite the opposite. I keep my composure 99.9% of the time, but lately, I've just noticed how rude, obnoxious and absolutely narcisstic people are today.
My mother taught me to be kind, considerate and learn the Golden Rule. Yes, those things are lovely...but everyone wasn't taught the Golden Rule and in my opinion, when you have exausted everything that God, your mama and society has taught you, LET IT RIP.
Life is tough, baby--you hear me? and you better have a good right punch if need be or John Walsh is going to be paying highlighting your "past life" on an editon of America's Most Wanted.
Do the right thing always, but a wise man will be prepared for the unexpected
And that's how I see it...
