I hate grumpy people - by Jen

Ok, that was a digressed thought - here is how I really feel. I feel sorry for grumpy people. And occasionally, strongly dislike them. You know those people who act as though they perpetually wake up on the wrong side of the bed and it seems as though their life mission is to make everyone feel as angry/miserable/unhappy/selfish/angry/angry as they are?! It is so infuriating when someone insults you, is short with you, treats you like you don't matter, and might actually spit on you if they were really that ballsy. But the best part, the part that really upsets me, is that they don't even know who you are!

Today both Micah and I were blessed to speak with some of these people. It just makes us wonder, "How do these people survive in a world that hinges on having relationships with people?" I mean it's obvious that they are unhappy and probably lonely or the relationships they do have are on the brink of a huge collapse. Yes, they probably get their way and are frequently satisfied with the way they just bullied a 15 year old movie theatre employee to give them free tickets because the floor of the theatre was sticky and their chair squeaked once during a critical moment in the show. But I seriously wonder, down the road, if they ever realize what their attitude and outlook on life is doing to them or others.

This is the point at which I stop being upset and start feeling sad. I wonder how these people get to be that way. They must have some deep hurt or some scarring, traumatic experiences piled up to make them so bitter and dejected. I start having pity on them and try to be understanding. I wish someone would hug them or, or slap them! If not physically then figuratively speaking! Slap them into reality that what they are doing affects people and is affecting them whether they know it or not. I'm done with this rant for now, but hopefully this makes you think and re-evaluate. I know we all have bad days and moments of bad attitudes. Maybe the people I talk to are just having one of those days. But if that is just generally who and how they are, I really hope someone will come along to love them.
