(Warning: If you don't want to read a blog post that contains much anger and confusion, simply don't read this one. If you want to learn how to be a kind human being though, then please continue. I had a bad day today, and this blog seems to be the perfect outlet.)
I gain my self-esteem through hard work and ambition. There are others, however, that seem to steal self-esteem from everyone else. It's like a leech, and it's disgusting.
There was one thing that happened today that simply annoyed me beyond belief.
So juniors are allowed to be in the senior lounge, as long as they're with other seniors, which makes perfect sense. It's never been a problem before, and I don't see why it would be. The reason I say "before" is because it did become a problem today.
For the sake of names, I will call this guy "Dissenter." Dissenter felt the need to come over while we (three seniors and a junior) were playing the Nintendo 64, so that he could unplug the game. We all asked him what his problem was, and his response was that juniors aren't allowed in the senior lounge. We persisted by telling him he was being a hypocrite (since he has invited juniors to play in the senior lounge in the past) and asked why he would even care. Our protest didn't matter though, because the junior decided it wasn't worth it and left the lounge. We asked Dissenter why he was acting in such a abhorrent manner, and he replied with "Oh, I just don't like him."
Seriously? Seriously? All that, just because he doesn't like him? You know what I do when I don't like someone? I leave them alone. There was literally no point in him doing that, aside from trying to emotionally beat down someone. It's inappropriate behavior, and doesn't work in the outside world.
I could go on for pages upon pages about how much I despise people like this, but I'll stop it here for now. You have no idea how hard it was for me not to include cussing in this blog post. I really wanted to, believe me.
Marc, I almost blogged about this as well, I am glad I chose not to since you did. However I will say that what irritated me most was not as much the dissenter who came over and told him to leave, this is the kind of behavior I expect from the dissenter since he tends to be rather irritating. No what irritated me most was the entire table of seniors that sits next to our table that were all yelling at the junior. The few in there that I would expect to be calm and not totally freak out about it really ticked me off. Personally, I feel they all act more like juniors than a lot of the juniors do.
