As with every word of the week I need to google it, unlike most words, I did not think I could tolerate this week's word. The word for this week is "tolerate." Turns out it is right up my alley, well to be more specific it is down the alley sucking someone off because this cop will not tolerate such behaviour in the street where there are lights.
I am well aware of the many things people tolerate of me, but then I do them a solid and tolerate their existence and although I do not have much say in it I still like to think that makes us even stevens.
Usually, I bitch about customers, and sometimes I do stand there and think to myself; "You could just smile and say hi with a higher pitch."
That thought quickly evaporates as someone walks into the store and I can see that helpless darting gaze, the pause after having been acknowledged...
That fucking pause. It pisses me off, I can't tolerate it, I can't wait for them to formulate their stupid question when I can see they looked at their phones not in a what is the time manner but as in, yeah the photos I want to be printed are on my phone.
Nine out of 10 times it is a simple thing to call it as they walk in the door, so much so that when they pause and I know they want to take identity photos I already have the camera and am merely waiting for them to catch up.
One might say that I am impatient.
I actually have a lot of patience and tolerance, and to cover all things that constitute the word. I also do not get ill, I suspect I have a very high tolerance to all the shit that makes the others shit... ;)
I do not have a very high alcohol tolerance but that does not mean partying it up is cheap though. I get very friendly when I am drunk, as I say I am Bipolar just add beer.
I think people tolerate me more than I do them, then again they tend to need things from me and by the point that they seemingly seem to realise that I am not Mr Sunshine Sunflower Up My Butt, I have already realised that they are no longer strangers and I do not need to really give a shit or tolerate their presence.
You would think I then get rid of them?
Nah, since standing up and actually being intolerant is effort. I would much rather have them do it. I find many people are very vocal about what they like and dislike. all the wonderful things they will not stand for. You always hear that when speaking to some self-important perpetual ex-girlfriend type.
As a society we tolerate a lot, on one hand, it is not those who are actually vocal about its job and on the other hand those whose job it is are not tolerating it they are a part of it. So be it.
The only thing I have is my bubble, and I am pretty happy with how small it is. It will remain small until I die. Oh my, that is so defeatist.
and Beliefs? and Stuff. Whoopi-doo twat. I was brought up being tolerant of your religious idiocracy. I was sent to Sunday school and went to an actual school where they forced us to listen to sod-mons, I grew up in a time that our black maid was not allowed on the street after 6.
I am not concerned with your shit little protest or feelings being hurt by prejudice, racist or any other bullshit phrases you are conjuring up. I am not tolerant of cry wolf in so much as I do not partake in it.
I just do me, and to do me a person needs snarky replies, hate everything equally and realise that those against and those for are all intolerant assholes without a plan.
In the meantime, there are real people suffering from real crimes in the real world. That must be why you are marching in a spiffy neighbourhood instead of where the actual issues are?
I may have mixed tolerance of what people say with what people do but all in all it is mostly just what they say about what was supposedly done but none of what they will do... Does that make sense? Well...
