I’m not an angry person. I rarely if ever get angry in the truest since of the word. Part of it is I know before hand that 9 times out of 10 it’s a silly, inappropriate response predicated on my misunderstanding something about the situation. That and it always goes away. Sure, the memory of what triggered your anger might regurgitate the feeling but anger never stays. It’s always replaced by another feeling.
I do however get annoyed from time to time. I think of annoyance as a bit like angers kid brother. A tad more passive but equally as corrosive. Annoyed I was the other day when I witnessed one of my pet peeves. It goes something like this:
One person says to the other person:
- “You’re a fag…Just kidding”
- “That’s a butt ugly shirt… Just kidding”
- “What are you a moron or something… Just kidding”
“Just kidding.” It kills me. It’s such a pansy ass, passive aggressive tactic to make yourself feel bigger at anothers expense. You know, just say “God, I think that shirt is ugly man.” If you can’t summon the balls to do so then keep your mouth shut or put it delicately. I can’t for the life of me think of a valid reason to intentionally make someone else feel like shit.
The situation that spawned this post occurred at a park down the way. A bunch of teenagers were hanging around and the “leader” put down another kid followed with the “Just kidding” punctuation. I almost went up to him and said “You’re a fucking ass face… Just kidding,” but he was scary looking and about five inches and thirty pounds bigger than me. I briefly weighed all the factors, I’m not sure he would have gotten my point anyway and I might have gone home bleeding, and decided to be annoyed by it for five minutes which, predictably, went away and was replaced something else. In this case my reluctant feeling of obligation as my dog, Kotter, was dry humping someone’s labrador and its owner appeared to be worried about it.
I’m not sure what worried her. Kotter wasn’t going to shot a cannonball up her dogs ass and he was doing a terrible job of stimulating the act but go over and help I did. I’m of the mind that you let the dogs be dogs. They want to play fuck then let ‘em but I’m pretty clear my notions of appropriate dog behavior aren’t the norm so I trudged over to give the gal a hand pulling Kotter off her dog’s ass. As I left the aborted humping session I told her, “You know it’d be nice if you’d just fucking relax and let the dogs screw. What are you a prude or something.”
Just kidding.
