things that bug be

the dirty list... pet peeves and more.
people trying to talk to me when i am not when i am not in the room paying attention or feel like talking.
people screaming things over large distances to another person ... just walk over to them.. lazy a....
people ignoring me when i talk and not having at least the consideration of saying " i hear you but I'm just not listening"
people yelling at me as if I'm a kid that doesn't know any better and needs to be corrected and punished... come on now, not only is that disrespectful but that is down right belittling. i don't know of anyone with even the smallest amount of self respect that wouldn't be bothered by that.
people obsessively focused on being petty ... like ignoring you if you don't say please (beyond joking around) along these lines are people that are so focus on the way they think things should be done that only their way counts and they can't dare to think outside their box and maybe even stop to think that the person they are dealing with is more important that the issue they are dealing with so actually have some leniency with people and cut them a little slack before they get so stressed from trying to meet you ever growing list of ways to be perfect without ever getting an "that-a-boy" that they end up going bazerko and exploding when they couldn't stand just one more small criticism....
what ever happened to treating people with the same respect that you want other to treat you with? are we becoming a society that is so disconnected to one another because of all our media addiction that we no longer have a clue how to treat others.
how about if you feel that someone is having an attitude with you instead of getting all pissy at them try to ask them if they are feeling ok... show concern and understanding first. i guess i see this most with parents dealing with teenagers ... yes they need to learn respect but if every time they answer one of your questions you accuse them of having an attitude... where do you really think that is going to get you? respect people as individuals with the right to make decision for themselves.
if someone needs space... don't force yourself on them. if they are trying to get away from you... give them room. don't force an issue that they are not ready to face... talk about when they will be ready ... what will help them feel ready .. .and how you can know when they are ready... don't corner them and make them feel like doing something extreme to get away from you. that is predatory and controlling. even if you have you preconceived ideas about their motives still give them a chance and take them seriously for a minute ... what will it hurt to give them a minute? you will gain a lot of respect by doing so.
and when all fails and you end up in a argument... respect the space, and don't blame, talk about the issues if need be, but don't get into a "you said, you did" it just reignites the fire and accomplishes nothing.
people who brag about who they know... really what is the purpose of that? unless i am interested in knowing more about someone specifically that you know... talking about all your famous friends is just bragging and truthfully annoying. God is not a respecter of persons... he does not value one person more than another...watching you do it even though you claim to following the Christan life style of becoming more like Christ... sorry if that rubs me the wrong way ... and if you didn't notice... i wasn't really listening .. yet you keep talking... back to the first pet peeve.
whew.. i think ya get the point.
