You can't help stupid

If there's one thing that gets under my skin and drives me to drink, it's when adults, like well into their 50's and 60's, act like children. I witnessed the most pathetic act from an adult today to get what they wanted because they were jealous of another person, that it infuriated me beyond belief.

I thought the days of "why does Janie get to go on the field trip, but I can't?" were over come junior high school. Or going behind mommy's back after she says no to something you wanted, by lieing to daddy so he'll say yes. It makes me wonder how these people have made it through life without getting their asses kicked. Makes me wonder how they sleep at night feeling good about themselves.

Now, I will admit that it's a bit ridiculous that I allow myself to get so upset with these so-called "adults" and say a mean thing or two about their immature behavior, but then I remember what a friend once told me about being mean to people ... "We shouldn't feel bad about being mean to people because they make us do it by doing stupid shit." And you know what? She's 100% right!!!

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's right to go around living life being mean to people for shits-and-giggles. But when you put up with a person's ridiculous, shady shenanigans for so long with a smile on your face and one day they do something so pathetic that you can't help but snap from holding in your anger time after time, I think there's an exception to the rule.

Side note to self: I should really stop allowing people to affect me so much. Try meditating. Or Vodka.

In the words of my favorite comedian ...

Ain't it the truth?!
