Curb That Know-it-all Attitude
Well, I'm not just gonna end the entry with the RL Update actually. I have got something to rant you guys. I'm feeling rather emo right now. I don't think I can keep it inside no more. So I'm gonna rant right here for you guys to read. People who know me will know that I usually keep things to myself. I'm not the kind who bitches about how crappy my life is 24/7. So when I do have something to say, I would like those people whom I intended to direct my rant on to shut the heck up and listen. FYI: This entry is not only for letting you guys know about what is bugging me off but also acts as a reminder to myself as to not to treat people over exactly what I am pissed about. It also acts as a precaution to you, my friends as to keep in mind to not to piss me off when you see me next time. I really feel like whacking somebody or something right now. Hey! It could be you! But....you don't want that, do you? So here's a little heads up.  First of all, I have nothing against Know-it-alls. I am a Know-it-all myself. But gosh, some of you just need to curb that Know-it-all attitude. It's annoying me real bad right now. I don't mind people sharing their knowledge over things that I am not familiar of. It's good that I learn something new about the universe every now and then. But, I HATE it when: 1) You pretend to know something that you are not familiar of. Like I found out something new and I wanted to share it with you which I'm pretty sure is something that you do not know about but you go "Yeah...it's like that isn't it?' with that know-it-all tone. I mean, it's okay to not know something that you are not familiar of. I'm not gonna label you "dumb" for not knowing about the particular subject. Plus, I am NOT competing with you over who-has-the-widest-knowledgeable-facts-stored-in-our-brainy-database contest okay? We can both be ignorant over a particular subject for that matter and NO ONE is judging us for that. 2) You want me to listen to you being a know-it-all but refuses to listen to me when I have something to say over a matter. The thing is if I didn't know about something, I would admit it. Not pretend that I do know of the particular topic. So when I'm not familiar over something, I LISTEN to what you have to say over that said topic. But I expect the same from you if I do know about something and you don't. The best part is, if you DO listen...the chances of your reaction in relation to point number one or to point number three is pretty high. 3) I tell you something that you're not familiar of and you don't exactly believe me. Do I look ignorant to you? So what if I know something that you don't? For example: I know that Singapore isn't part of China and you aren't aware of that. But you go "Really?" in that incredulous tone. "How come I didn't know about that?" Hello. What is that supposed to mean? Am I that ignorant to the point that whatever I know is within your knowledgeable-facts-stored-in-brainy-database capacity? So if I go beyond that is...bad? Well, bad for you I guess? Whatever happened to two-way of sharing of information? You just have to be a complete know-it-all don't you? I do appreciate a "Really?" in a I-didn't-know-about-that-and-thanks-for-sharing tone though. 4) I tell you something and you don't exactly believe me for what reasons I couldn't make out. For example: Me: Hey~ I ate blueberry pancake this morning. Yummy!
You: Realllllly? (in that incredulous tone) Me: .... (have the urge to say "No. No. I'm totally kidding. I ate McMuffin actually".) Hello. Why would I lie to you over a trivial matter? You mean you actually know what I ate for breakfast and that what I've said was a lie? I have better things to do than lie over something I ate for breakfast alright? Gawd.
Even if you're just joking around, it still annoys the heck outta me. I've been enduring this shit for so long, it's not even funny.
Urgh. Well, that is really it for now. I hope you guys keep in mind about this. Don't annoy me any further over this kind of matter. Very very very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!  PS: Do not pop me a message via MSN Messenger to ask me who are the people (that's plural you guys. I'm not directing my rant on only one person) that I ranted on. I'm not telling. Since you (guys) are such know-it-alls, you should know who I am referring to. PPS: I'm NOT ANGRY at the people whom I am pissed at. Well, not anymore. I have ranted and I am letting it go. But if you think you are one of those people that I directed at and you're feeling pissed, well...I don't know what to say. Sorry? I guess. But I need to vent out my frustrations before I snap at someone. Maybe you can take whatever I've said to your stride. That would be cool. PPPS: Shit. I'm actually freaking out. I hope my friends don't ditch me because of this rant. Well, I hope not... If they are my friends, they should try to understand me instead. I don't usually express my true feelings. And by doing so, I hope they try to get me at least. |
