Disclaimer, if you read my blog I'm not referring to you (that would make me silly indeed!)

There are a few things in life I truly dislike. I would even go so far as to say 'hate', which, if you know me, is a word I hesitate to use. Let me elaborate and explain, so please join me for a frustrating ride...

1) Laziness
I understand that people have lazy days, and that's fine. I enjoy a day spent entirely in my PJs where I eat popcorn off my belly, and occasionally pick up a kernel from my cleavage. But I can't stand the 'lazy gene'. By this I mean a debilitating medical condition that prevents a person from seeking employment, bothering to make time for their friends and sitting back whilst watching others perform work of some sort (you know, chores, sexual favours and the like). I find males fit into this category quite well.

2)Being taken advantage of
I don't mind helping my friends out. Admittedly, there is some degree of selfishness when I agree to assist someone because I tend to expect a 'cash in' at some stage - karma and all that jazz. I suppose what defines a 'user' is when a person (friend or otherwise, usually otherwise) demands multiple, often regular, favours without returning the goodwill. What's worse is when they doesn't realise they're doing it. They think you enjoying helping them all the time with no reward, recognition or rest and expect you to be grateful for doing so. I'm only just learning to be a 'no' person and can see the value of being a professional hermit.

3)People with no emotional IQ
Emotional IQ (generally) relates to how well you can empathise with others. Often people low in emotional IQ don't realise the affects they have on others because they simply can't comprehend emotional situations and responses. Think: 'sure I just yelled at you like you are a contestant on The Biggest Loser who just got busted eating a super sized Big Mac meal, but why are you crying?' I hate this category the most because, other than sending them to therapy for 20 years, they won't change as they don't see anything wrong with their way of life and are often quick to post blame on the behaviours of others.



Breathe..... think of Orlando Bloom......

Ooooh, an angry post indeed!
These things are frustrating, especially in a person that doesn't realise they are doing it (as you mentioned).
