How Does One Ignore Stupid People?

You don't. They're everywhere, and impossible to get away from. I haven't posted on here for quite some time, it would seem. A lot has changed since that time, and a lot hasn't changed. I'm still figuring out who I am, and it can be really very exhausting sometimes, in figuring out how to deal with people, based on WHO I am, seeing as how I'm lacking that step in the process.

There are people at my boyfriend's workplace that I see and/or hear once in a while, and I have a hard time with it. I'm not exactly sure why, but I am sure that they annoy the socks off my feet. I am also sure that I would like to come up with a conclusion on how to stop the feeling from coming to my bones whenever they come up.

One idea I have is to, in my mind, imagine that they are missing on of their body parts, and to replace said body part with an object that is nearby, or simply an object that comes to mind. So, when I see Chris, he doesn't even have a head, his head is missing, and has been replaced with a pineapple. Or maybe one of the hams he handles in the deli at my boyfriend's work. And then, perhaps, he won't act so stupidly demented, because he won't have a head telling him to do and say all of the stupid things he does and says.

OR - maybe I should change my way of thinking of THIS particular person by treating his antics with a little honesty. Brutal honesty. He has a way of saying things that just... ASTONISH me. And I can think of many things to say to these things he blurts out of his disgusting face. The last time I thought of something to say to him (but alas, I did not blurt back), was when my boyfriend and I were trying to pick some ice cream, and Chris walked by, and said, "Don't you know that that stuff makes you fat?" And mind you, he has gained at least 60-70 lbs, and I really, REALLY wanted to say back to him, "Don't you know that? It doesn't look like you do. Hmm."

I have a hard time speaking up honestly (when it has to do with being brutally honest to fend off an annoying person), and I wish that I didn't have that problem. I get irritated a whole lot more when I can't spit something out that I really, REALLY wanted to spit out. But I have a really hard time with people who smother you, who KNOW that you don't like them, and they just don't stay the FUCK away.

So, pineapple-headed boy, the next time I see you in the distance, or you come up to me, I will have something brutally honest to say to you. And I will not feel bad. Not at all. Because I will have then conquered your stupidity.
