The upside of calling people out.
I was in a great mood when I left the house this morning, until I pulled into the parking lot at work. The side lot is a wee bit narrow, and there is only one entrance and one exit. So I was pulling in to find a spot, when I saw this lady getting into her car. I clearly was on the entrance side, and do you know what she did?! She pulled out of her space the WRONG freaking way. So there we were, hood to hood in the parking lot and I was not going to budge. We sat there for a few minutes until she decided it would be a fantastic idea to keep pulling forward and making "shoo" waves at me to back up. ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? No, no she wasn't! I waited until her car was practically touching mine, and kept hand signaling her to back up and turn around. Shit got serious when she decided to roll down her window and yell at me--and I of course got my ass up out the car!
I was screaming at her that she was pulling out the wrong way and needed to turn around! If I backed up, I'd be backing up into the middle of traffic and SHE WAS IN THE WRONG. She then decided that she'd TRY to scare me and pull forward so now her car was literally touching mine. BITCH YOU'RE ABOUT TO GO DOWN. People are always warning me about having road rage. Fine, yeah so I yell at people BUT always with a reason. I don't just have total rage disorder and ride up on people's bumpers and get all crazy. She must have thought I was someone else, because I do not play like this. So naturally I slammed both my fists down on the hood of her car, backed my car up only to rev the engine to pull forward in a hurry. Granted yes, maybe I did over react but what would you have done? Been a pus-ma-gus and backed out into the road in a high traffic area?! WELL NOT ME.
As I sat revving Black Betty, I could see the glimmer of fear in her eyes. I'm sure the moments just before I went to pull forward fast, she saw her measly life flashing before her eyes, all the moments when she had entitlement issues and tried to force people to change their course for her convince. I'll give her this, she had the sense to back off.
Surprisingly enough, I didn't have any key marks on the side of my car when I left work. Even if I did, I got her plate number. Sometimes when I tell stories like these, people think I'm out of control. I'm truly not. I've lived a life where most of the time I've backed right down, simply because it was easier to give other people their way. I haven't bent backwards in a couple of years now, and I certainly do not plan on going back to those habits. SCREW THAT!
It's important to MAKE people take ownership for their actions. I take responsibility for my never ending motor mouth and the things that fly out of it, certain situations I handle whether they were bad or good, and certainly the decisions I make. Not saying that I need to explain myself to others, but everyone else seems just fine calling me out on my shit---but why do they get defensive why I return the favor? I had a "friend" a few years ago, who knew she treated me like crap and used me; when I confronted her she was ashamed and actually said--and I QUOTE: "I know, but I just don't want you to say it out loud." WHY THE HELL NOT?! Because then you'd have to acknowledge all of the twisted things that you did to me?! CALL PEOPLE OUT.
It is secretly invigorating when you finally do this! I refer to this as "Hulking out".
Obviously there are other subtle ways to do this, but I'll let you guys figure that out on your own. Just for the record, I'm not always a hanus bitch when I do this. I do think it's important to stand up for yourself. Don't be a door mat and let people treat you like your feelings don't matter.
Other than that, today was a great day! Tet, aka Chinese New Year is coming up and I'm a wee bit nervous about the challenged I'm going to have to face. Lots of yummy food I need to steer clear from, and limit my quantities. I've been feeling a bit run down lately, I'm sure it's a cold coming on. Drinking lots of tea with lemon and popping those vitamins! I think I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow morning, just to see if Wednesday's weigh in was truly water weight or not. Results to follow!
As far as the Lipotonix goes, I really don't feel any different. I can't really tell yet. I've Googled it a few times, but all I seem to find are sketchy sites with weird advertisements. Smells like a virus site if you ask me. I did however find a Topix discussion site that had people talking on there. I got too tired to click through all these pages of people asking where they could find a doctor who provided injections in their home town. How annoying. I guess if they did just Google it, they'd end up with the same sketchy sites I did! Calling myself on this one...stop judging the stupidity level of people writing things on the internet. Tee hee hee...
