Weidos

No I am not talking about my family. I am speaking from a merchant's point of view,a firsthand account of how strange and bizarre this world is that we live in.
I must communicate with people everyday being a business owner and I must admit I miss my 9-5 job I worked at for 15 years! At least there I could stay in my cubicle and do my work and keep to myself if I wasn't in the mood to talk. I guess you could call me an introvert (an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people). I am definetly in the wrong profession. I have absolutely no patience with petty, ingnorant people and I am surrounded by them on a daily basis.
I despise those who walk into the room and immediately begin listing all of their physical complaints. My thoughts are (this is my inner voice speaking) " You were able to get up,get dressed,and drive here,you cannot be that bad off!" If you can walk, talk and can get around on your own then please shut up and suck it up! We all have aches and pains that is the normal process in life. Those that suffer with terminal illness,strokes,heart attacks,and catastrophic sickness have my sympathy and prayers,the rest of you that can't speak a word without complaining are on my @$%& list (if you know what i mean!)
I face people everyday that literally make my blood boil. I have an anger issue I will admit that is triggered by ignorance! I want to try to address this problem and it will be on my list of New Years resolutions. But in exchange I would like for all the weirdos that come in and out of my daily life to also vow to stop being stupid and try to look at the big picture. So many people have BIG problems. Take a hard look at your problems and if they are merely an ache or a pain then you are okay,trust me. No cancer? No disease? No PROBLEM!
Live your life,share your joy, keep the rest to yourself. Do us all a favor and smile and say I'm fine,thank-you! Not only will you save yourself from needless complaining but you will also spare someone from having to listen to you!
Life is short,stop wasting it with the dumb stuff. Make a difference,be smart,think before you speak and for the love of mercy, don't bring it to me,I am reaching the Red Hat stage of life. I don't care what I say,I don't care what I wear and I will ignore you.
Whoo-Hoo! That felt good!

  1. That's telling it like it is. Way to go!! That should be published in the paper! We must be related, because that is the way I feel sometime with certain people. Thanks for writing it!

  2. Since this post was written I have two brothers pass away. They were both shining examples of suffering silently and not broadcasting their aches and pains. They lived with dignity and kept going in spite of their physical ailments. I have the utmost respect for them and their bravery. They were my heros and set a high standard that not too many people can can or will ever exceed. Your aches and pains are just reminding you that you are alive and breathing......embrace them.
