Things I dislike about people

Anecdote of the day:

One day when I was at a vacation in Cancun, I found a beautiful, hand carved wooden Mayan calendar. It was the size of my palm (which is medium-sized). The little native boy, (I call them native because he spoke the local dialect) wanted three hundred pesos (about $25 dollars/depending on the currency). I thought that wasn't so expensive, besides I am an impulsive buyer, so I bought it. Later, after walking a good distance, I saw a little girl selling the same hand carved wooden Mayan calendar. I decided to ask the price just for the hell of it. She said I could have it for fifty pesos (about $3 dollars). You can imagine my face and all the insults I received from my family afterwards. But you know what? These people make their living that way. You don't bid with wal-mart on the price of your bread. So why should you try to lower their prices? At last I'm paying directly to them and not some company that exploits them.

I know this is a weird transition, but today I will rant about the things I dislike about people.

·                     Cheap people. Now, don't get me wrong, it's okay if you have the virtue of saving (because I've never been able to acquire it), but I really dislike people who will buy chips and will only eat ONE chip, while the save the other ones for when there's no one around and they can eat it by themselves. Or when they will purposely buy lower quality products to save money. I have an aunt who didn't want to buy meat for our annually Christmas dinner. Instead she wanted to use some deer meat she had in the freezer for the last six months. I don't bother going to my family's annual Christmas dinner when she is hosting. Another example: I know you guys have heard of the "five second rule," well I know someone who took it a bit too far. It's okay to eat something that you've dropped, as long as it's in YOUR house. Your house, your germs. However, once I was out with a friend, this guy accidently dropped his ice cream. I watched in awe as he scraped the whole thing from the floor and proceeded to eat it. Want to hear the worst part? We were at a PARK. Why should be self-conscious of the money you spend when you earn it? Maybe if you have other responsibilities that's fine. But if you don't, and you're just a tacky, cheap person who would do the things I mentioned then shame on you.

·                     People who let out their anger out on other people. This is absolutely the WORST thing you can do me. I take the golden rule seriously, so I'll be nice to you no matter what (expect if you insult me and cross me of course). But, I won't stand you taking out your mood on me. I am definitely not a punching bag, and I am far too sensitive to be taking any bullshit. I always take things seriously. I will always believe what you say. I am that one person who will be happy no matter what. Even if I've been mistreated the whole day (and believe me I have) I won't hold you at fault. I know people who do this. Who if they didn't sleep will be in a grouchy mood? Who if they haven't eaten they will just be aggressive and hurtful. Who if they have been having a bad day they'll make you have one. But I guess I must be some sort of masochist; in the end, I end up forgiving these people. Weak, right? If you happen to be like this, just think about it twice. No one's at fault for the way your day is happening. Maybe it's just your fault. Believe in karma or in the 'returning of favors'. If you treat someone well no matter what, it will come back. Trust me.

·                     Creepers. I have personally flicked off several people for this. I mean, PLEASE! I am walking home from my bus stop, wearing loose jeans, a regular t-shirt, my dirty vans, and my messy hair and yet you dare to pull near me and ask me to get in your car? What ever gave you the idea that I am the kind of person that does that? Hell, what ever gave you the idea I WOULD do that in the first place? This just confirms my theory that means have WAAAY too much imagination. It angers me. I don't even wear provocative clothing, crap, I'm the type of person that sits alone on the bus and sits alone at chemistry! But, it doesn't matter what I wear, to these men, it would be the same as if I was walking down the street with a mini-skirt, fish net stockings, and a see-through skirt. I hope one day those guys will crash from not directing their attention forward when they are driving like they should be. I also hope they experience the same thing by a group of buff gay guys and die.

• Religious fanatics. I have encountered a few of these in my life, and I am not fond of them. It's okay if you have different views. Different religions, different ways you eat your sandwich. But, don't shove it down other people's throats. They don't care. You can't change their beliefs unless you're out to convert them. I have noticed a specific religion doing this mostly. And no, specific religion, it's not your fault for the way your followers behave. In the end, its them who are failing to understand the true teachings and virtues you teach. If you truly believe in God, then believe in your own path and love above all. I honestly think hateful, ignorant religious fanatics are as bad as racist. To me, the worst thing one can do is be close-minded. Because of this misunderstanding are created, which fuels hatred and violence. One must understand science and religion are able to live in the same world, just as one can love physics and philosophy just the same.

Many people will probably be offended by this. This is just another point of view. If you have comments, type them down. This is just what annoys me. What annoys you?
