O que vos tira do sério? (1 post a 2)

(What makes you boil?)

We all have our boiling point in every situation we don’t like. But in some “the boiling point” is really low. A small thing and… we get pissed!
Tripeiro de Roterdão writes about his boiling points:

ashtray’s boiling point

- Human stupidity;
- Somebody trying to take advantage of my good will;
- Somebody that always has to give the last word, even if there’s nothing more for them to say;
- Asking me “So… know you’re going to be Muslim?” just because my girlfriend is Persian;
- Somebody thinking I’m stupid;
- A person that thinks that his bigger or more than the rest;
- Domestic violence (even if I see it on the street);

So, if one day you see me:
- Telling you to “fuck off!” and turn my back;
- Telling you “let’s sit and have a serious talk, because I’m not liking the way this is going”;
- Ignoring what you say;
- Telling you “Yeah… And probably a terrorist too…”;
- Doing something you don’t like with an ironic grin on my face and the words “it sucks, doesn’t it?” on my eyes;
- Not talking to you anymore or put an evident distance between us;
- Hating or punching some men;

then you know I got to my boiling point.

Boiling points by Jo.ana:

calvin

There are a few things that can take me there!!!! That place where you think that in a few seconds you will punch, quick, scrrrrrrreaaaaaam! But because you can’t lost it completely, you imagine your little boxing arena in your mind, take a deep breath and leave or not… Usually I go for the not… And so usually in these situations I tend to get red, with “waterish” red eyes, and with a nod in my throat raise the tone of my voice, not screaming! I said raise!

Those things are:

- People who underestimate my intelligence, my capacity of observing, analyzing and making an opinion. People who think that I am easily influenced by the opinion of others.

- Women who go through life enjoying to keep the myth that being a woman equals stupidity, and that being a blond woman equals doubled stupidity. I’m not talking about the jokes that we tell to friends at work or at the cafe. I’m talking of those who like to bring the joke to life and be a joke!

- Injustice! Blaming someone who didn’t do anything to be blamed of. Those who never step forward to say It’s my fault. Those who never forgive and never give time to the other person to explain the why. Those who give the time, but as they are condemning since the first second, they don’t want to understand the reasons and do not forgive. Those who condemn, point the finger and spread rumors without even looking to their mirrors at home.

- Those who think the world turns around them, and don’t even ask How are you? when this should be at least an obligatory question! Those who don’t realize that they leave you all their emotional garbage and then walk away without a thank you for listening every time!

- Those who don’t care about the others and do not respect their situation!

- Those who are always showing off what they have, what they did and specially how good people and how conscious they are about the others! Those who are always enumerating the good actions they did to others or to the world!

- Those who never give a step for themselves and complain about every single thing in life and how their life is miserable!

- Those who do not respect the silence and space of the others, who just invade and try to live IN the life of the other.

I guess I boil quite easily…

    Jo.ana indeed you can boil quite easily…but with time (no I am not 80 yet…) you learn to deal with people in general and sort of compromise. What you describe are attitudes you see in everyday life and we are all confronted to them…

    People who show off? People who are not respectful of the other wether by words or by acts invading your space? People who always complain? All this is Human nature exacerbated by our society…No way out. All you can do is try to talk with the ones that are closest to you to “change” these attitudes. The others are unfortunately out of reach.

    Two important points the firts 2 ones
    - people who don’t know you enough and give a false and superficial judgment? I boil for that too especially now that I decided to give to my life another direction…This is so frequent and afterall who really knows you? The other is always a stranger. A foreign country with a boarder which very few persons will cross…
    - Women well all I have to say is STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS!

    Ciao Ciao
    Signed the feminist Princess ;-)

  2. Princess Sissi Says:

    Tripeiro it seems that not only you boil but then you totally evaporate…I would still try the diplomatic approach rather than just turning the back and walk away.

  3. C@B Says:

    Sorry Sissi, I don’t quite get your point. Did you ever saw me boiling? And when did I disappear after boiling?
    When I boil I don’t fell like losing my time with diplomatic approaches. If I boil it means that some things or people don’t deserve, in my opinion, that I take time to think about a diplomatic approach. If people don’t care about respecting me or my beliefs, why should I care about a diplomatic approach. There are things and people that deserve more my time… ;-)

    But sometimes a person boils due to missunderstandings, and then if you turn your back to them you dont even give the time to explain. That already happened to me once and I lost a great friend of mine due to my boiling point… Only today, after many years, we are able to be together again. But it was never the same… and maybe it will never be…

    - Hypocrisy
    - Violence (specially against children and animals)
    - Stupidity
    - Intolerance
    - Rudeness
    - Disrespect
    - Exhibitionism
    - Fakeness
    - George W. Bush

    but, i’ve been (inner-)searching for a way to learn with my own mistakes and with that, trying to live (more peacefully) with all of this sh*t and i’m still trying not to get to ‘boilling point’ each time i have to deal with one of those issues above.

    Besos for both of you.

    Helloooo Princess… I don’t really agree with you on the thing about the age. And I don’t agree by my own experience… These are things that with time I actually lost the patience… When I was younger I was much more “forgiving” with this kind of behaviors…

  7. Jo.ana Says:

    You are so right Paula. that’s what I am trying to do also… Going Zen when I feel that I am geting there :) … It’s like I said: because you can’t lost it completely, you imagine your little boxing arena in your mind, take a deep breath and leave or not… Though sometimes it is impossible to just leave…

  8. MJ Says:

    Funny, I’m exactly learning the oposit, how to “release” my boiling point! I’m allways to dilpomatic and sometimes you just need to let it go!

  9. Princess Sissi Says:

    TR I was just refering to what you wrote…evaporating was just an image of turning the back, when you boil.
    Jo.ana I think you can be less forgiving but at the same time less boiling. I am not sure that boiling somves the problem…it is beter to be diplomatic and find a solution. That’s what I meant with age I felt that I could control much better myself even though I can be much more sharp and incisive over certain behaviors.
    Cheers,
    S.

  10. Stanislava, The Princess of Darkness Says:

    Sissi your diplomacy to me sounds a little bit more like hypocrisy!

  11. Prince Frans von Austria Says:

    I came now from the grave and I’m very flattered to find out two princesses Sissi on this blog new world!
    I suppose the one commenting on this blog has nothing to do with the one on http://www.cenasdegaja.com/

    And I’m finding out that this Mr. Tripeiro de Roterdao has dedicated some of his posts to S. Princess – a thing I’m not liking. I might be dead but I’m still very jealous!!!

  12. Sahar Says:

    It doesn’t exactly make me boil but it is amazing how many girls call themselves princesses instead of growing up and act mature! Its a different story if somebody else gives you that nickname, but please get over yourselves ladies. We have a saying in Persia: A good scent doesn’t need any commercial, people can smell it themselves!

    S

  13. Stanislava, The Princess of Darkness Says:

    S I so agree with you! :) I chose my name out of irony ;)


  14. I was informed about what is going on here and I decide to clarify a single point.

    Dear Franz, despite Princess Sissi signing some comments with “S.”, this cannot be linked with Sahar, that for this time decided to sign just “S”, and the one to whom I dedicate my posts.
    So, don’t you worry… My persian princess has nothing to do with yours several Princesses Sissi…

    (and with so many royal visitors I think this blog should change its name to “The door of the kingdom”… big LOL
    I’ll ask my neighbour about her opinion ;-) )
