Would You Like Cheese with Your Whine?
If you haven't seen "Things I Hate About My Flatmate" check it out. http://ihatemyflatmate.blogspot.com/
The blogger does not give access to the archive of old daily blogs so you need to keep up.
It's really a shame to miss some postings because the blogger can hit stride with wonderfully insightful and hilarious posts one right after the other.
Then the blogger will go through a dry spell where each new "I hate my flatmate" is a stretch for something new and not ... hmmm, frankly not interesting. At those times I get the MEGO effect (my eyes glass over).
But this blog is thought provoking. For me it is an illustration of irritation common in our daily life. We live with, work with, deal with people who are incompatible with us.
Some might wonder if they are compatible with anyone. In fact, I am suspicious of people who are friends with The Irritant.
I am being kind by using neutral terms to describe The Incompatible Irritants because in fact these people can drive me crazy.
I have good solid reasons for wanting to pinch their heads off. Yes, quite often it is a response to trivial discourtisies heaped up, piled on and overflowing until only saints and the developmentally disabled could overlook, not notice or forgive. Yes, I know I should just let it be. Better people than me have the strength of character to shut it out. I envy their internal peace.
But sometimes I just want to wage war on the snots of this world.
And I like sharp cheddar with my whine, thank you.
