Rant

I am sick of the way people complain and whinge about others nowadays. Most of the time, they make snide comments on social networking sites about certain people without mentioning names. I often feel like it might just be me they’re talking about, even though I get re-assured that it’s not. But how can I know it wasn’t aimed at me when there’s no name mentioned? I’m not psychic.

If you honestly have a problem with someone, take it up with him or her. Take it up with them first thing, and then you can make snide comments. But use the name. So people like me don’t have to feel uncomfortable the next time we have a conversation.

You know, there was a time when we all made comments about people behind their backs because they either betrayed us in some way or because they did the same to us. This was back in school.

I thought people had ‘grown up’ since then and knew how to handle their problems in a proper manner. I thought people went direct to the source and settled the issues face to face.

But no, I guess we still have to stay in this proverbial playground and watch as people cry to the teachers about how so-and-so did this or that.

I think I’ll end the rant here before I start going off on a tangent.

My message here is simple. Grow up a bit.
