GROSSiquete Day

One of the grossest thing to watch pple do is eating…depending on how its done. I just walked into the lunch room to grab a cup of coffee and I noticed this averagely built bulky guy eating lunch at a table to my left view. From the corner of my eye, I watched as he raised the bowl of soup to his mouth and dipped his tongue in the bowl struggling to lick d last few bits that might be left inside. I thought I hadn’t seen well at first, so I took a second look and this time he met my eye. I quickly averted my eye and thought to myself…wait a minute, am I in the same lunch room…one that belongs to one of the biggest IT Consulting firms? …where u hear billion of dollars thrown around everyday like you were talking about a penny. Oh, and it doesn’t end there, he was cladded in a nice suit and looked just like any snr excec of the firm! So am sitting here thinking, what would be the most justifiable reason to lift my bowl or plate of soup to my tongue and start licking in public?

As if that wasn't enough for one day, I decided to take a break and run to the bank to deposit my millions (someborri say AMEN to that)…lol. And my eye caught this middle-age chic, walking my opposite direction, she was wearing a white tank which barely covered her sagging boobs. Her boobs were popping out of the tank. No she wasn’t fat! So its not like the poor jugglies were screaming for fresh air. The poor things were just not tucked in right, and girlfriend didn’t give two about it. Amidst stares/whisphers from my fellow women passerbys, girlfriend just trotted along like she was on the ‘about-to-get-naked’ runway. If those jugglies were a pleasant sight, then it would have been a totally different story...but ol'girl just ended up ridiculing my women clique...chei!

POMPOUSonic

Two greatest peeves I have are Pride and Cheating. Both traits are totally unacceptable and overbearing for me. I wouldn’t be able to sit in the same place with a prideful person, or an individual who sees me as a means to fulfill his greedy desire. Now, cheating falls in different categories. I am not talking about the boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife type of cheating. Needless to say - I have my opinions 'bout that too.

But am talking about the kind of cheating where one fool, who considers himself intelligent, takes you for a ride, regards you as ignorant and in the process pushes his remote in an effort to control you. Or a situation where one bastard thinks he is doing himself a great favor by having you attend to him hand, foot and toe, take care of his needs and pamper him like you are his maid, while he’s sitting there like a couch potato and not doing a single thing in return. Woosah…okay enough of the outburst…but won’t and can’t stand a person with traits such as these.

But how do you drive the point home to someone who believes that he ought to talk about himself or his achievements at every ficking opportunity he has? Do you say, will you please shut the hell up and quit talking?! Or do you say, can we talk about ME now? How do you go about telling them that you are really not interested in what they have to say about themselves because you have heard it gazillion times….so much that you are beginning to roll your eyes right in their face when they begin to talk?

So here goes convo I had with dear friend the other day. Sigh! Yours truly always end up facing issues she hates the most...

Dude: SO is there anythg you thought about after yesterday's meeting?
Dude: any words of advice
Me: for u personally or for the church?
Dude: both?
Me: hmmm...
Me: for church...there's got to be some amount of discipline instilled in every church worker...

Other convo ensued…

Dude: I understand you perfectly
Dude: that is for the church
Dude: now to the personal aspect of it
Me: lol
Me: you are great person...you are determined and have a passion for God...
Me: you also have a strong character which translates to d fact that you are very disciplined, have your head on straight and understand perfectly the decisions you make.
Me: like me, you are not perfect…
Me: a strong xter could also translate to self-centeredness and pride.
Me: tooting your horn is great and it’s recommended in some circumstances, but when it’s not needed, it can become unbearable…
Me: overall, you are a great company!
Dude: thx

So you would think that drove home the point for my dear friend, but am disappointed to tell you that at dinner last night, all I heard was another round of horn-tooting!!

So dear all, I would really love to hear your opinions on how to drive home the point to someone who thinks its absolutely great to talk about himself all the time...cos apparently I didn't do a good job.
