Irritating people

Part one

Published on April 23, 2004 By Sally jacobs In Misc

It's friday, yay, yay and one big YAY for good luck,

. Boy do I have that Friday feeling, don't ask me why, because I'll be damned If I know, but all is looking fabulous, and I'm happy! I'm not happy about kermit, things are funny, I think he's preparing me for bad news

, but I can't think about that because I'll lose the whole feel good factor of this article, though no doubt it is going to go downhill when I start on my chosen subject, but anywho, lets get down to it.

! I'm sat here waiting for big sis to come and get me, I have to go to doctors, I don't want to, I have a huge fear of dentists and doctors, especially dentists! They only have the job as a dentist for one reason, and one reason alone, they are sadistic people, grrrr! Anyway, yes going to see the doctor, I think I've got some kind of ear infection, don't ask me, I've just been holding my head to one side alot and it's aching constantly, I've tried to see out the pain, but it isn't happening, so I'm going to be a big brave girl

! Then I'm going to football, I don't think I've mentioned this before. Ahhh yes the joys of watching eight year olds run around a field, it's great, I have to say I get overly excited, and forget they are only children and it is ONLY a game, grrr I hate it when people say that. I love my football, I really do, the great (not so great at the mo) Manchester United, I won't bore you none football fans, but you can't beat that feeling of winning, or even losing a game, and you can see these little kids love for the game grow, it's really wicked to see.

If I'm honest I get irritated easily, I have little patience and tend to be pretty judgemental. Having said that, I am also logical. I don't always act on these emotions I have. I admit I sometimes speak without thinking, and it has been known to get me in trouble on more than one occasion. I'm not intentionally mean though, I never set out with the intention to hurt or offend people, I just speak my mind and hopefully most of the time I do that in a constructive manner. I don't think I 'click' with many people. I can get on averagely well with alot of people, but getting on really well that doesn't happen often. I guess it's me, I'm far to fussy. Lots of people irritate me, hence the title. I'm going to start on the elderly. Now before you start thinking I'm some evil old person basher, hear me out. I'm not talking about ALL old people far from it. I think the majority of the elderly are fab, with alot of things to offer. In fact they shouldn't even be judged on their age, like all groups they shouldn't be judged, and that's my point really.

I was brought up to be polite to people older than me, no matter how they are to you, be polite back. I kind of like to think you should treat other people how you would like to be treated yourself anyway. My irritation with old people started while I was at school. I was just your average teenager, had my good and bad times. I saw school friends be rude to people, make fun of people, but i didn't do that. I think people deserve respect and even at that early age I did. So I can understand why, by some people, I was judged badly when I was in my school uniform. One day I was on the bus, it was full of school kids on their way home from school, i must have being about 13 and I was sat near the front ( I had my fetish for quick exits even then). This elderly lady got on the bus and would have had to have stood up next to me. I immediately gave up my seat to her though, as i'm sure anyone else would have to. That was fine, i didn't even want a thank you, that wasn't the reason I did it. This woman however, started to have a conversation with her friend about how rude school children are. How they had no manners, and i could feel her looking me up and down as she said it! It would seem even though I'd shown her politeness and good manners it wasn't going to change her opinion. I feel she thought she deserved that seat anyway, because she was older, that it goes without saying that I'd give it up to her. Why is it that some people think they deserve respect, without doing anything at all to earn it? It infuriated me then, and it still does now. I don't think my issue is really with the elderly, because unlike that lady, I don't judge everyone off a few bad experiences. I still give them respect. I think my issue is with people who think they can be rude and get away with it because they have a certain status in society. That's just wrong. Having said that, I also think been rude back to them is wrong, that would make me just as bad as them, it's all about karma, and I truely believe that. Rant over

.

A quick note to Kermit, read my gayness article again sweety, I meant every word of it, and I still do

Sally~that elderly lady DID sound very rude (and even immature!

.). So I don't blame you for feeling as you do at all. It is really cool that you can keep an open mind, and not be rude back to folks (when they are rude to you...). I try that philosophy also? But a truly rude person won't let you off the hook till they get some kind of reaction. I am finally learning this. So yeah, the best thing to do is ignore it big time. But that can be kind of rough sometimes? Because nobody likes to feel like they're being insulted. THIS IS VERY NICE WRITING AGAIN! I'VE READ SOME OF YOUR OTHER BLOGS~I DO LIKE YOUR WRITING STYLE VERY MUCH. So keep on blogging, and thanks for sharing this....
