Because I Said So

Pet Peeves

I don't really have too many pet peeves. I try to not be judgemental. I am human, and sometimes I do catch myself unfairly judging someone. Of the few pet peeves I do have, arrogance as got to be near the top of the list. I used to know someone who was incredibly arrogant. He literally thought he could get any girl he wanted, and made no secret of thinking it. He thought that to the female population, he was completely irresistible. The truly hysterical part, is that he isn't even all that. Don't get me wrong; there's nothing wrong with self-esteem. But true self-esteem is something that is on the inside. The fact that he so blantantly thought that he was "the man" shows what little self-esteem he must really have. Well, that and the sheer number of girls he has slept with. And yes, I do mean "girls". He likes 'em young. But then again, I think he might sleep with just about anyone. The main reason he even gets these girls is because he pumps himself up and pretends to be someone he clearly isn't. He is good at charming people into seeing what he wants them to see. He's very deceitful. Anyway, I work with someone who sort of reminds me of this person. My coworker was getting on my nerves big time today and it reminded me of this other person. I used to want to just give him a swift kick in the ass and knock him into a little reality. Arrogance is so unattractive. Especially when the arrogant person isn't particularly attractive. At least if he were some hot, successful catch, you could almost rationalize the ego. But when there is just nothing to show for it, the egomaniac needs to get a grip!
