Opinions, Suggestions, and Commentary

I'm not a big fan of unsolicited opinions, suggestions or commentary. As a matter of fact it is one of the many things that send me on edge. Nothing makes me turn into the biggest bitch you've ever seen than offering something I've never asked for in the first place. Today I was minding my own business when a classmate tells me, "I noticed you wear Nikes a lot, did you know they are mostly produced in sweat shops?" I am highly aware that Nikes are produced in sweat shops. What I am not aware of is why this dude just tried to impose his views on me indirectly. I don't know him. I don't speak to him. I couldn't pick him out of a line up yet he felt the need to offer up a fun fact about the shoes. I responded, "I noticed I was minding my own business and didn't ask you to research my shoes. I know how to use google. By the way, that is a nice hat you are wearing. Tiger Woods huh? A Nike hat. Probably made upstairs in the factory where these Air Forces came from. Good shit." He proceeded to his seat.

My grandmother is a good one for offering commentary. She always ask me if I can do something we both know I can do. She sometimes treats me as if I'm just learning how to use a toilet. Today I was washing my clothes. She says, "You washed them. Good job. Now let's see if you know how to put them in a dryer and hang them up?" WHAT THE FUCK? She might as well said, "Good job. You tinkled. Now can you wipe and flush?" I can't stand my intelligence being insulted. This is why clash. That's for another day, another post. She and I have to work through that issue before I can speak on that.

I am not a suggestion box. Do not place your thoughts in my brain space. I also don't need people asking me for my suggestion or opinion when they have their mind made up. If you know what you are going to do just do it. I'm not the friend you come to when you want your ego stroked or your opinion second. If I wouldn't do it then I'm going to tell you so and give your my justification. After that you can take it or leave it but please do not talk shit about it. After all you asked, I did not offer.
