Ok, I have a pet peeve that I'm sure you have experienced too. Do you ever get people treat you like you are stupid? I absolutely hate it when people think they have to tell me how to do things because they think I didn't get it the first 10 times they told me. They give you no credit for having a brain in your head. I am rather insulted by this to be honest. I consider myself a fairly smart person even though I will admit to being a little absent minded at times. That just comes with age and having too much on your mind at one time. But worse than people telling you how to do something for the umteenth time, is people trying to tell you something that you know is a down right lie. They try to make you believe something that isn't true and they think you are stupid enough to believe them. They think that maybe you will never find out the truth because you just aren't smart enough to figure it out. And if they think they have gotten away with it, it will happen over and over and over. Maybe they should stop to consider that the lie just isn't worth arguing about, that just maybe we have something better to do with our time than to fight a losing battle by calling their bluff because even if we call them on their lie, they will argue with you til they are blue in the face insisting they are right. Personally, I just can't be bothered most times to argue. But eventually we all have our breaking point. And if you think we have forgotten all the pretty little lies that we have been told, think again...they are in our memory banks for future reference. And when you least expect it, these little lies will come back to haunt you. They will be backed up with resentment, anger and frustration. All of you know what I'm talking about, and yes, we are all guilty of doing it at some point in our lives. Unfortunately, some people live their life that way, lie after lie. I can't live like that, I try to be honest and up front with people and I just wish they would give me the same respect...what goes around comes around. Next time you feel like lying to someone, realize that they aren't as stupid as you think, that they will find out the truth, and it will be you that will be tagged "the stupid one" ....something to think about isn't it?
