A judgemental tag
desigirl | September 6, 2007As if I needed any reason to rant and rave, the Mad Momma has gone and given me one in the form of a tag. The topic this time, ‘what are we most judgemental about?’ This is a dicey one as I keep shouting that I *hate* it when people are judgemental and S will not miss the chance to rub it in my face. Hence, I shall alter it slightly to ‘what irks me the most re people’. Here goes:
1. I get irked when one is forced to choose between family and friends - as in, ‘after all, they are family, why do you put your friends ahead of them?’ Well, I do get it that family deserves certain carte blanche rights where certain things are considered but friends, in my opinion, are the family we choose. As such, they deserve the same courtesy and I do not take kindly to being told otherwise.
2. What irks me super most about our folks is how they feel they can butt into my affairs and generally pass comments, give suggestions and then have the gall to be pissed when I ignore it. What will it take for them to get that if I want their advice / suggestions etc I will ask for it myself so can they pls save it till then?
3. My favourite statement to S about so-and-so is: ‘when they die and come back as Ms (or Mr) Perfect, I will swallow everything they say. Till then, can they please zip it?’ Anything wrong with that?
4. Personal hygiene (or lack of) and/or not bothering to get reasonably spruced up are big time annoying factors.
5. But the one that absoloutely takes the cake is when someone spoils my day / time out by constantly doing a Johnny Bravo (’enough about you, let’s talk about me’) on me. I have met loads of people who do it in varying degrees. What will it take for them to understand that when I am out, I would like to have a nice time too and that doesn’t necessarily include being their / their brood’s own personal cheerleader? Sweepea has done the impossible and has walked on water? Well, hell crack open that champagne but can I be on my way now?
Now that I have ended up getting everyone’s backs up, can I stop MM?
I find myself nodding to most of what is there
Sowmya | September 7, 2007 | 2:48 amI find myself nodding to most of what is there on the list…I agree with the friends vs family issue.
Another thing that pisses me off is when people contradict themselves. Cannot put up with that from my mom or from my friends.

reg giving advice - well sometimes its not very clear (esp when people talk about their problems) whether they are looking for suggestions or not… but ofcourse, even suggestions should be just that.
