People Say Stupid Things

I stumbled across a blog.... "People Say Stupid Things" that I think I am going to get into. It makes me laugh....and some of it strangely made me feel like I was reading something I wrote myself.

When I named my blog "what I said was....what I meant was..." I had these people in mind. All these people who do or say annoying things force me to smile and nod but turn and say various things to myself...what an ass...seriously? (my personal favorite for people who are saying particularly "interesting" things)..."oh no you didn't" (one I don't currently use, but probably should cause it is pretty fun when said with the appropriate accent!)...I have a whole inner monologue that takes place when I find people to be particularly superfluous in my world.

I developed the inner monologue to allow myself to say what I really mean without insult to another individual in my presence. I guess it is part of growing up to filter your feelings a bit and not just jump to insult someone's inane comment. I have stopped explaining myself and my actions because I found I was defending my self way too much and getting agitated when my defense still received a raised eyebrow or a disappoined remark. I used to laugh at my mother in the car when she would be mouthing conversations to herself, deep in thought. But, I guess that is sort of what I do now...though my lips are still. I just sit there and rehash a prior conversation with all the other things I should have said to this fool before me.

But I digress. I thought I would clue you in to this blog for some comic relief if you, like me, find it necessary to laugh at people who say stupid things.

Enjoy!
