Welcome Wednesday-ers once more,
So this week I've managed to put my foot in my mouth on multiple occasions. Luckily a few quick apologies have rectified matters, but this hasn't stopped me wondering what is going on in my head, this week, to make me spew this dreadful rubbish. It's not like I actually back the opinions I've been giving out.
It's weird, I've upset a work colleague by portraying myself as anti-vegetarian, when in actual fact it really doesn't bother at all what people eat. I've upset a close friend by implying I was uninterested in what they had to say when I was simply busy. I had a row with a bus driver because we both agreed on something but somehow, both were under the impression the other was disagreeing. Finally I managed offend a rather nice lady who rang to give me a refund on an old bill I overpaid, by suggesting quite aggressively she was a scam artist after all my personal details.
As I heard myself being a complete douche on each of these occasions I then attempted to explain myself and in doing so made matters completely worse. It didn't matter what I tried to say my brain sent even more rubbish flowing out into the world causing more and more damage.
Quick summary of the real reasons I said stupid things:
I don't mind vegetarians providing they don't expect me to join in/judge me on what I choose to eat. I try to shop ethically eating from sustainable sources if I can. I buy ethically sourced products if I can as whilst I have no issue wih killing the animal (in a human way) to eat it, I disagree with the animal being treated badly whilst it is alive. The best example of this is that I buy free-range eggs as I disagree with caged hens. We keep them alive to lay eggs, we should therefore make sure they don't suffer whilst they are laying for us.
I was more than interested in what my friend was trying to say to me but at that exact point I had a saucepan boiling over, starch water burning onto my hob, and an oven that should have been emptied 15 minutes earlier. In my manic rush to salvage my dinner I came across short and uninterested. Not my intention at all :(
The bus driver accused me of getting my ticket stamped back-to-front, to which I replied that I didn't stamp it the drivers did. He concurred but for some reason we still managed to have an argument. This one still puzzles me. I think that the accusation annoyed me and I think he felt silly for making it but I'm not sure why I didn't just then take my ticket and sit down :/
The lady on the phone did act suspiciously but instead of asking her to wait while I checked the number she was calling off of online (which I would normally do) I just started accussing her of fraud. Then as I tried to explain why I thought she was fake I managed to make the situation worse by basically saying she didn't know how to do her job. *facepalm*
So I shall go now before I manage to offend anyone esle :( I'll try harder next week not to be a jerk. Sorry I failed this week.
