Why I hate things the way they are
ok so I've gotten over it. All of it. I've learned to stand up for myself in the moment, and fire back even if it's rude. It sure beats carrying around a "I should have" burden.
For example: today a guy I didnt like because he drives during the duty day and gives me shit for driving when I clearly dont decided to give a lot of attitude and said, "you should tell your wife not to walk in front of the bus" because she walked across a crosswalk and the bus had to stop. I didn't like his attitude, and without thinking I said, "well you should tell your wife to stop calling me".
It's funny. I never would have said something like that before, and I do feel a little guilty. It was the wrong thing to say. HOWEVER: for the first time I didnt let someone make me feel bad. It felt good, even though it was wrong. I can admit that.
