Have class or be an a**?
Is it just me or are people getting more aggravating? Now this isn’t a rant, just an observation from someone destined to encounter quite a few of these jokers. Ask anyone and they’ll tell you that arrogance is my pet peeve. (Not roll your eyes pet peeve, but grit your teeth, clench your fists, fight the urge to say something offensive kind of pet peeve.) Luckily I haven’t ran into many of these people since I’ve started writing full time, unfortunately I have plenty of friends who have. I don’t claim to have any special wisdom but there are really only two ways to react to the people who seem to live to make your day just a little bit crappier: Have class or be an a**. And while I might crave ripping some deserving schmuck to shreds it just isn’t worth it in the end. Resist the urge for yourself
So Alex, LizP, La’Keysha and others dealing with less than desirable people please remember:
“Never argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.”
It can get ugly. The last time I forgot that it ended with yelling, sirens, a moving van, and cops dragging my boyfriend out of work to come “help with his girlfriend”. Like I said ugly.
Hear hear!! Love the quote. Keep that handy for when I come crying to you (reads: wanting to kick someone’s a$$) over something that isn’t worth it!
“Never argue with an idiot. They’ll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.”
How many times I wish I could get my husband to listen to words like this. Then again, wish I could remember to do the same.
