It seems that no matter how hard I try I am always going to have someone who does things just to spite me and make me mad! I try my hardest not to let it bother me because I know it shouldn't, for so many reasons, but it still does. I guess thats my immature side rearing it's ugly head. But it's really their immaturity that annoys the crap out of me. People who are 10 and 15 years older then me still acting like stupid teenagers.....drives me bonkers! Here's the thing, I have never, that I can remember, known someone wanted something and go out and go it just to upset them or make them mad. If I did end up getting it before them I honestly try not to rub it in their faces or make a big deal of it because I don't want them to be upset. But time and time again I deal with people who do stuff just to be mean. When I first wanted to start P90X I of course mentioned it on FB and my blog as I usually do.....and lo, and behold, someone I knew (who was always trying to out do me and get ahead of me for some unknown reason) ran out and got it before me. Not because it was something she was truly interested in but because she knew how badly I wanted it and wanted to do it first. I let it go and moved on but not too long later she went and got something she KNEW my sister wanted! I couldn't believe it at the time, now it doesn't surprise me really. But I moved on from that as well and thought I was rid of people who did that type of immature thing but no, here it is again. I recently was "de-friended" by someone who works with my husband because I didn't agree on her take on body image. I don't really care, I don't know that my image on body image is perfectly correct but I certainly didn't think hers was. She is one of those "everyone should be honest, everyone should tolerant one another's opinions" kind of people, or so she says she is.....but when I posted my opinion she got pissed. Because it didn't jive with her thinking I was wrong! Not that I really cared, she wasn't a friend, so I didn't lose anything. But I guess she found out I wanted the BRAND NEW BeachBody program called Turbo Fire. It's a kick up from Insanity and I know it's going to kick butt! I have about 10lbs more to lose and I think I could totally get rid of that if I do this program plus I'm just ready for something new and a bigger challenge. Well, she went and bought it. Yeah, I know, how rude. I mean, obviously I know other people are going to buy it but when it's a program that you aren't even ready for but you buy it just to spite someone (and I'm sure she'd deny she did that but I'm not stupid!) is lame. It's a costly program....if it wasn't so pricey I'd have it right now. But I'm going to have to wait til August...*sigh* It upsets me that people are so rude but once again I'll live through it. I just had to vent!!! You can skip this post and pretend it didn't happen or whatever.....pray for me, laugh at me, shake your head, whatever. I don't care anymore.
I just want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to post on this important issue. I agree that people these days are entirely too immature and ego-centric. Ungrateful people who have everything they could possibly need and more, and who have probably never suffered through what could be considered an actual hardship, feel compelled to dramatize the completely insignificant events in their lives, and to waste their time and attention on things that any decent, mature person would see as completely beneath their notice.

Thank you, John! I often feel like my "ramblings" are just seen as me running my mouth, but most of the time I am addressing a fairly important issue under it all! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
