It's a Wrath Thing!
Today's sin boys and girls is Wrath, and I am writing about Wrath because I have a lot of it! I am not sure if it is the hormones starting to kick up or something else. I am angry because I have to write this post, I am angry because the website I have been working on for the last two months is still lacking, and I am angry because there are real morons in the world! Yeah I said it you heard it, there are some people out there that just piss me off!
I have a temper, it could be the Irish in me, could be the vertically challenged thing better known as little gals syndrome - I am 5’3 and 107 pounds soaking wet but I will kick your butt. You know Bruce Lee wasn’t a big guy either! Who knows why I have this wicked temper, but I have for as long as I can remember. I was one of those kids that actually liked horror movies. I am also a big sports fan especially physical sports, football, hockey, rugby, UFC, soccer if there is a little blood.
Seriously though I can be very reactionary, I flare up easily so I have had to train myself to stop, breath, think, and then act. If you couldn't tell, I was a scuba instructor that is a mantra we taught divers to keep them from killing themselves, really I said it so often because I had to remind myself that I couldn’t hurt them-they were paying customers. My nickname was Dive Nazi because I was not so nice, especially to those that were just plain…well you can fill it in. Crazy thing is those people, my former students, still like me-well actually most of them were guys we know what gluttons they are....
I had to take a behavioral profile for a job 6 years ago and the first line in it said “Bridget is intolerant of people who seem ambiguous or think too slowly. She may lose interest in what others are saying if they ramble or don’t speak to the point. She should exhibit more patience…[yada, yada, yada].” I was sure they were going to fire me, amazingly my boss thought it was the perfect behavioral profile for the position – I should have known then she was going to turn out to be psychotic. The descriptors for my malady are
I do flare up quickly but I also burn out pretty quickly. On top of that if you can make me see how stupid I am being -without saying those words - that is if you want to keep both of your eyes in your head, and make me laugh I am quick to humor too. In my advancing years things do roll off a bit easier, I am either maturing or just getting lazier, getting pissed off takes a lot out of you!
OK so I feel better now that I got it all out, not so annoyed that I had to deal with slow people all day, and like I said last week I guess this carnival every Tuesday thing is turning out to be a good thing…I suppose. I could be feeling better, smiling even, because I just listened to Lilly Allen's songs Smile and Knock Em Out - terrible but she always puts a smile on my face!!

Maybe you should finally give in to my pickup lines :)
Okay, I had to add you to my Reader based on your 1 comment to me (thanks for stopping by) and this kick-ass post! I'm part Irish (the other half is Mexican) and 5'3" so I can relate! (And in So Cal, too, btw.)
GetSmartGal you are brilliant! I love your honesty! To be so candid and hilariously open with your readers is a gift. I always look forward to your posts as they make me smile. This one did the whole read through. Thanks!
P.S. this wrath thing in you makes for a wonderful satirical read-so it's not all bad...
OH how I hate idiots. My motto is "stupid people shouldn't breed".
(Not my own. It was an album title by an 80s punk group called the Skatenigs.)
I totally hear you about the lack of patience with idiots thing.... and I LOVE the UFC.
hmm.... do we live any where near each other. It's so hard to find people who actually want to watch it!
I think it is great that you know that you have a temper. I do too but am sometimes slow to admit it. You are funny!
I am totally intolerant of peeps who think too slowly also!! Oh, and when people um, ah, um too often during a sentence it just burns me. I eventually just snap and yell at them to spit it out already. Aside from that, though, I'm really level headed.
Great post girlfriend!
You don't have your email address on your blog woman so I can't email you back! Argh. Get on that girly.
Anyways...my iPhone. Hate it. The camera is crap. You can't send an attachment in a text message. Anytime I try to send an email it says it can't locate my network or some shit, but I can read my email fine. The touch screen locks up on an almost daily basis and I have to turn the phone off in order to unlock it. The internet access is great, however it kicks me off constantly (every few minutes) and I have to start whatever I was doing all over again. Lately, the touch screen has been acting up even more and randomly kicking me out of whatever I'm doing and taking me back to the main screen.
I get so frustrated with that phone that sometimes I just want to smash it.
My husband, however, loves his. So, maybe it's just me.
And, yes, I am on Twitter, but I'm horrible at updating it.
That was strong. Dang you like football and soccer? That was a funny ass post. I'm Irish too and can't stand slow people that can't make decisions. You haven't drowned any poor scuba divers have you?
I could close my eyes and see myself writing those very words. On a daily basis I run into people that look but do not see, hear but do not listen, and eat but do not taste. I just want to throttle somebody sometimes. Then two things kick in. First, prison time really works as a deterrent for me. Second, I remember that they see, listen, and taste according to their own universes and probably think that I am just as much of an idiot as I may think they are. Lastly, I am grateful for having been exposed to a different viewpoint. I love the way you strike out phrases. Please keep up the great work. =)
I've been feeling some pretty intense WRATH the past couple of days. So much so that I didn't even blog about it-because it would have been WAY TOO INTENSE!
It has passed, thank goodness, and no one got hurt.
I usually feel like most people are idiots, especially the ones usually given the inexplicable authority to make decisions.
This is why I don't like most people. When I meet someone I don't think is an idiot, it takes me a long time of waiting for the idiot to surface before I can start to accept that it may never happen.
It used to bother me that so many idiots were allowed to leave their houses unattended. Now I just try to avoid them at all costs. Though extremely difficult, it is possible with an iPod and an expression indicative of my dog having been killed. If they still try to wave in my face to get my attention, I will gut-punch them so hard they'll be on a liquid diet for weeks.
You're right! You do get more tolerant as you get older.
