bitch session.

i lied i'm back. i'm going to have a bitch session because...well because this is my blog and I can.

I find myself getting more and more irritated with people everyday. I'm not sure why but it's something I've noticed. For example today at the Harlem Globetrotters show (which i will say again i loved) there were two sets of people who just irritated me.

1. A woman, a man (probably her dad) and two young girls. Now before I say this let me set up the situation. Edward had the isle seat, I was sitting next to him. Then there was a man and three precious little girls. The youngest one was sitting next to me. In front of Edward was the older man, I had one of the young girls in front of me and the other was in front of the girl next to me then the woman was sitting next to her. After half time the two girls in front of us went to get food and the older man moved over to sit next to the woman...and also in front of the little girl sitting next to me. Now I understand that the seats are set up so you're a little higher than the person in front of you, but this doesn't work for a five or six year old girl with a 70 year old man in front of her. I make a comment to Edward about what he just did as he's sitting down he turns around looks at the little girl and my in my head i'm going "oh thank god, you're not a total douche" and then proceeds to take off his jacket and hat, stand in front of both me and the little girl while setting up this chair blocking our view and then sits down. DOUCHE. This poor little girl is desperately trying to see over his head, she's leaning forward,leaning to each side, standing up, trying to rig the sit so she can sit on it while it's folded giving her a little more of a lift and after all this fails and the man ignores my comments as well as the little girl telling what I assume to be her sister that she "can't see over the old mans head" she eventually has to sit on the lap of the girl next to her. I understand he wanted to sit next to the woman but she couldn't have moved over and sat in front of Edward and I? I mean at least we would have been able to see over you. I just don't understand the thought process of some people, nor do I understand why this irritated me so much.

2. As we are walking into the stadium there is a woman standing in front of the ticket checker talking to him about how she wants to wait for the other people she has tickets for. My response to her would have been A. leave them at will call or B. wait for them outside so you're not blocking the entrance for other people. Needless to say she blocked the line for a few minutes before Edward made a comment and she moved.

I just don't understand how people are so self involved that they don't even take a second to think about how the actions they're doing affect those around them. Obviously I'm not one to sit there and make a scene about it, but honestly? You've got a little kid sitting behind you and you move to sit in front of them? You've got a line of people waiting to get in and you stand there like you own the place waiting for the people you're holding tickets for ( who are probably waiting in the line you're holding up)? I just don't get it.

I don't like getting irritated with people as easily as I do, but I just can't help it. I've found myself trying to count to ten before I blow up on more than one occasion during the week. Usually it's over small things like people standing in doorways when there's plenty of room next to it, or people on cell phones walking as slowly as they possibly could in the hallways at school. Sometimes I wish I lived in a world that was completely aware of those around them...but if that was the case what would I have to bitch about, and we all know I love bitching. :)
