10. People who are so self absorbed with their own person that they don't even know it. I could name people but I'm not going to
name any names here. But there are people who are so into their own way of thinking and believing that they are SO right that they cant take a step back and honestly evaluate somebody else's opinion. For example, spending a week and a half writing
somebody a ten page breakup for good letter saying how much you care and how sorry you are things went wrong and how you hope everything goes well for them in the future, and getting two nasty phone messages in return about how you are trying to hurt them and how they are going to burn the letter. What the hell
is with that? People who think they have it all figured out an
refuse to change piss me off, especially when they are 180 degrees from the truth.
9. Slow drivers who refuse to yield. Its 9:49 AM, I have to be at blah in blah minutes and here I am on a four lane divided road behind two people who find it just fine and dandy to do 30 MPH
in a 50 MPH zone and don't really care if anybody is behind them. And then when you do get around them despite their slow pace
they give you the finger for being in a rush. I'm sorry but if you don't really have anywhere to be anytime soon, DON'T LEAVE YOUR HOME. => And if you do, drive like ya gotta be somewhere.. And even if you don't do that, at least get out of the way of those who look like they have to be somewhere.
8. People who can not understand the simple principal, Don't throw stones in glass houses. Yes some people can use a good wake up call once in awhile. But that should come from a good friend
who knows them well enough to know what to say and how to say it to get through ONLY.. Not from somebody who sees one thing and passes
judgment on somebody over one circumstance without finding out that persons history, what they are about or maybe
why they did what they did if they even did "IT" at all. People really need to get their noses OUT of other people's business and focus on their own life. It easier to look at others faults then your own, its easier to try and make others face their
problems then your own, people need to stop taking the easy way out.
7. When you have not lost your keys in 3 months and the one time you do loose them you have to be somewhere. And all the other little annoying things of that type that happen from time to
time.
6. Hypocrisy. Is a definition really needed for this one? Okay here's one, You get suspended 3 days from work for being late frequently, yet your immediate supervisor does the same thing
and nothing happens to him. Or seeing somebody who is a vegetarian who was berating you for eating a
cheeseburger steal a bite of their friend's steak. Or how about getting a ticket
for slowing traffic because you were telling a friend directions across two cars and you see a cop and his buddy do the same
thing the next week. Its all just annoying.
5. People who act helpless when they really are not. I just see so many people who have either been taught that they are helpless or from a few bad experiences feel as though they are. Always needing help for the same things over and over when they have the capability to learn and grow and do things on their own if they would just get off their rusty dusty and get on with it.
Now I'm not talking about mentally and physically disabled people here. I'm talking about intelligent able bodied people who can do for themselves and choose not to either from
conditioning or from choice. This applying to people sitting
on welfare who could go get a job to people at work who keep asking the same questions over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and do you get my point? =>
4. True racism. There are racial jokes out there, and not to say they are not wrong, they are not the root of the problem. The problem is people who believe that because of a persons sex, color, or religion they are less or more capable of doing a
specific task or getting somewhere in life. There are traditions, there are cultures there are differences even in work habits,
yet none of this has any effect on a person's ability to perform any task because of it. Any person, from any background, can do ANYTHING they set their mind to even if racism still exists in this country, which it does. And people who pass
judgment on people, who do no hire people, who do not promote people based on their color, race, or religion should be made to walk in the shoes of those they have oppressed so maybe they can realize
that everybody is just like them, trying to make a place in this world, and trying to be somebody, somebody important and worthwhile.
3. People unwilling to take risks. How many lifetimes do you get? Unless you believe in reincarnation, just one life. What is
there to be safe about? What are you holding on to that is not going to become dust in the blink of an eye?
Nothing is permanent, nothing is safe, and you cant take it with you. I'm not saying people should be stupid about life and put themselves at risk of death and danger every day. But so many people live their personal lives in such a plastic shell that it makes me
wonder if they are even alive at all? Life is about risk, life is about chances, life is about making the most out of what happens. So many people die between the ages of 25-35, but are not buried until they are 65 because they settled. You settle
you die, even if you are walking around breathing and talking and walking and going to work 9-5 Monday through Friday every week, you are the walking dead. We were all created with a
dream and a purpose and it's a damn shame how many people take enough
chances to even find out what that dream is, let alone go after it and achieve it. Failure is not a dead end, it's a new door to another opportunity.
2. Complainers. I'm sure you're saying to yourself after reading this list how can he say he dislikes complainers
eh? Yes, these are things I dislike, but I don't go around harping on them 24-7.
You know why? I would end up locked up in a padded room singing the theme song to the Smurfs or something. Yes there are problems
in the world, yes there are things that are wrong, yes there are things that need to be done but people need to focus on what can be fixed, what can be changed and not worry about what can not be changed. If you can fix it, fix it. If somebody else can fix it and you can not, ask them to fix it. If you cant fix it, and nobody can fix it, just do the world a favor and file it under O for oh well. Reminds me of an old phrase, "Would you like some cheese with your WHINE?".
1. People who are unwilling to let things go. People are human, they make mistakes and they move on. There are people in your
life who have hurt you to the point where it is unhealthy for you to be around them, and they probably exhibit all many of the things on this list. That's all fine and dandy and that is good
for you to weed out the negative people who suck energy from you
and drag you down. But when somebody says they are sorry and asks for forgiveness, don't say they are forgiven if you cant let it go. If you cant let it go, be honest and either spend some time apart to heal some wounds or break the friendship.
Don't say they are forgiven and then bring what you said was
forgiven up in an argument a month later. Forgiveness means to start anew, wash away the sins and mistakes and go on from where you are now. It does not mean you are going to stop complaining about it until the other person gives you a good reason to
complain again. Forgiveness is from your heart, not your head. If somebody broke your heart two years ago, and you haven't
talked to them since, LET IT GO. There are too many people and this includes myself on some issues who walk around harboring disappointment, hatred, and anger towards people and things that
are either out of their life or they can do nothing about. There are too many positive and wonderful things to experience in life to walk around harboring crap on your shoulders.
I'm not saying I'm perfect, I'm not saying I know it all, I have done everything I have pointed out here, but I know when I do and I make an effort not to, and an effort to change and that is what counts. Perfection is not a destination, it is a journey. I don't know about you, but I will be perfect when I close my
eyes for the very last time.
