Stop Complaining to Me About Your Stupidity
The other day an acquaintance of mine was griping to me about a couple of traffic tickets he got within the span of a week. One was for using his cell phone while driving, the other was for running a red light. He was carrying on about how much money this was going to cost him and acting all depressed. I wanted to slap him and shake him by the shoulders and yell, “Then don’t run red lights and use a headset for your cell phone!” Thank God you got those tickets. Maybe now you’ll stop driving like an asshole. People who talk on their cell phones while driving piss me off. Assholes who run red lights risk killing someone because they need to get wherever there going thirty seconds sooner. Fuck’em. I cheer inside when people tell me they got a ticket for doing stupid shit.
A similar, related issue is people who generally have a crappy attitude about life or are just plain lazy who throw public pity parties because, surprise, life has dealt them yet another shitty hand. Here’s an idea. Stop acting like a depressed teenager and get your fucking act together. Not to get all Tony Robbins on you, but I once heard somewhere that “gratitude is the best attitude.” Maybe take a look around and appreciate all of the shit that you have instead of whining to me (or some other poor sinner) about all of the things you don’t have or are too lazy to go out and work for. My complaints department is already fully booked with people who are actually being proactive in trying to improve their lot in life.
Look, I know tickets are a drag and that sometimes life can suck. But I really don’t care when the problems are due to your own laziness or stupidity. Stop acting like a goddamn victim. YOU brought this onto YOURSELF and YOU have the power to fix your issues. You reap what you sow in this life. Unless you are telling me about the positive changes you are making to reverse your sorry state, I don’t want to hear about it. I have my own problems.
