rude peeps
I kept meaning to put my thoughts down to pen and paper (or actually keyboard and monitor). Well now I get to rant a bit. Warning to ya; ranting means that swearing may occur occasionally and at random throughout this post.
Rude people piss me off.
A lot.
Hmmmmm, one example
Just on my way in yesterday morning to work. Picture this; it’s 7:30 in the morning and you’re riding in a jeepney just beside a huge truck down the NLEX. You’re zoning out because the said road’s pretty wide, and then all of a sudden, IT’S THE NEW YEAR ONCE AGAIN!!!! SPARKS EVERYWHERE!!!! Oh wait, that’s a cigarette.
Tell me some stuff people. You want to smoke right? In my opinion it’s pretty f*cking idiotic in itself. People die from smoke inhalation and not necessarily the flames when stuck in a fire so why in the living f*ck would you VOLUNTARILY inhale all that shit? If you’re going to smoke WHILE DRIVING that’s fine, but don’t throw that shit out the window. What gives you the right? What makes that any different from me throwing my McDonald’s bag out the window (oh wait, people do THAT too!)? Ashtrays or litter cans should be beside you.
I’ve got a great idea for the smokers out there. If you’re driving in your car; NUMBER ONE use your ashtray, NUMBER TWO, roll your windows up. Keeping all that shit inside the car might be the best deterrent to smoking that you could possibly have. If you can’t breathe then maybe it will make you say to yourself that smoking is a complete waste of money/time/energy.
It’s bad enough seeing people throw that crap out the window when I’m in a bus, but think if you’re on a motorcycle, it’s just about like instant road rage.
Usually, since I’m on a jeepney, I just try to let it pass me over and then think about how much fun I’m having that jeepney. There’s been a couple of times though that I’ve not been able to let it “pass me over” and have either said something or stared down a driver. This goes for ANYTHING thrown out the window, not just cigarettes.
Some kid, a couple months back, threw an apple core out his window. An apple core will deteriorate, yes, and will eventually decay into the ground and none will know that it was even there but if you chuck it out the window and there’s a biker behind you, you just pissed them off. That biker have to duck in order to not get hit with the thing, If I’m in that situation, probably I’ll give him the most terrifying Max Alvarado/Bella Flores Glare of Death. Now, I’m not a “bad dude” by any means, but I think I got my point made and I didn’t even have to say a word.
Sometimes we don’t even bother to think about the consequences of having someone behind or someone around us before heaving our trashes out.
Sorry to the considerate smokers out there. I imagine there are some out there but unfortunately I haven’t met any yet. Smoking seems to turn people into rude assholes who like to dirty up the streets with cigarette butts, stink up the room, and then parents who smoke…….Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…….
What pisses me off more than seeing a smoke flicking their ashes and butts out the window? Seeing a KID in a carseat in that same vehicle. Or how about at restaurants, seeing the parents sucking down a lung rocket while the kid sits next to seem completely unsure of what’s going on in their lungs? Smoking, to me, is a very selfish habit to have. Everybody’s got their bad habits, heaven knows I’ve got mine, but smoking seems to hurt all of those around you.
