The Behaviors That Get On My Last Nerve

Looking for the Light

This post isn’t a rant, it’s more of a message for those who behave this way. I have no tolerance for bad behavior, it’s rude and uncalled for. 

Here is a sampling of bad behaviors I can live without.

Cutting in line, or leaving a beer in line doesn’t count. Go to the back of the line.

Harassing the elderly.

Feeling entitled.

Weaving in and out of traffic.

Driving 40 miles over the speed limit.

Thinking you’re better than others.

Throwing trash anywhere.

Thinking the rules aren’t for you.

When you drive in water that is too deep, you get what you deserve. You need to pay to be rescued.

Thinking you aren’t responsible for paying off your college loan.

Parking your car in front of your house when there is room in the driveway.

When the neighbor’s pool company parks their truck in the alley and blocks traffic.

When someone talks over another person, unless it’s an emergency shut up and wait your turn. You’re not that important.

People who don’t flush the toilet.

Someone decides for me, it’s not your place and I have a perfectly good brain.

If someone rides my bumper, I may slam on the brakes. Gun or not, I’ve done it before.

If you talk down to someone, you need a bitch slap.

Crosswalks at a street light are for people, not your vehicle. 

If you are in front of someone while entering or leaving a building, you have the extra few seconds to let them go first and hold the door open for them.

Don’t take photos of others without their permission unless they are committing a crime, following you, or vandalizing property.

These are a few that come to mind this morning.

      1. Get over yourself. I got your sex wrong and didn’t quote you exactly. It was not intentional. What I say to other bloggers is no concern of yours. I had no way to know it was sarcastic. We’re either cool or not.

  7. Top of the morning, Melinda, thanks for sharing more than a few behaviors that illustrates what *Not to do when engaging and/or interacting with others, who are just as important as me, myself and I. Have a wonderful week : )

  8. I completely agree with everything on your list. One additional point I’d like to mention is the frustration that arises when people don’t appreciate or acknowledge the effort you put into helping them. It’s disheartening when it feels like they take your actions for granted or assume that you’re obligated to go out of your way for them without any recognition.

    Another challenge I’ve faced is the lack of support from my own family. When I pursue something that brings me joy, like writing and publishing a book, it’s painful when they can’t even spare a small amount to support and encourage me. I always believed that family would be there to uplift and back each other, no matter what. But over time, I’ve learned not to expect much in this regard.

    That’s why I focus on the love and support from my wife and boys—they are what truly matter to me, aside from God. In the end, their unwavering support is my greatest blessing.

    1. Family can be some of the worst at appreciating someone skills and joy. I don’t understand the dynamics but ti happens all the time. The way I look at people who are not appreciative of my help is that they don’t want it or they are jealious that you are able to give it. Ether way life is to short to let people like that affect you life. Did you see your Blogger Highlight yet? :)

      1. Yeah, I dare to echo what my wife always says, “Families suck 😆😂🤣”

        I did see the Blogger Highlight and I did reply to it. Thank you so much and I am so sorry that I didn’t get back to you on time. I’ve had so much going on that it totally slipped my mind. But on the comment, I gave you a quick and brief reply to your questions. Thank you again so much.

  9. People deciding for me. I hate that. My family are/were the worst offenders. I was told my favorite color as a child. Someone else decided what food I like and the reasons why I might not like someone. Minimal contact these days with just some. Email only.
