random ranting

Yep, just me talking crap. I have a few pet hates, and one of them is when people write in a blog or email or whatever, "this isn't aimed at anyone in particular but..." cos you know straight away that it is, and they're just trying to cover their own behind, as it is usually followed by a very pointed, aggressive and angry sounding diatribe of garbage. Trust me, this happens to me a lot.

Another pet hate of mine is something I'm sure a most people in the world hate: being judged by other people who quite obviously don't have a clue about your life. This also seems to happen a lot, not just to me. For example, I've been accused of being a liar, when I told this person the absolute truth to start with. She just thinks that I was trying to spare her feelings, which is not the case. I'm over trying to appease people, I've been honest with them even when they DON'T want me to be.

That leads me to the topic of arrogance. Yes my friends, they're out there, all those pig-headed, selfish, boorish beings: the arrogant people. Now, have you ever noticed that "this isn't aimed at you", being judgemental and being arrogant all seem to go hand in hand? Anyway, by arrogant I do not necessarily mean people with confidence. By definition, to be arrogant is to be overbearingly proud. That excessive pride leads to selfish behaviour and judgemental attitudes. And they still want to cover their own backside as well, to save face. Alas that I know a few people like this.

Yes, there is a lot of pet hates and issues at work here. I know what I like, and I know what I don't like. I don't mind confident, friendly people...I just can't stand the qualities mentioned above. Just so you know.

By the way, this entry isn't aimed at anyone in particular...
