TOP 5 THINGS I DON’T MISS DURING THIS PANDEMIC
This opening paragraph is going to act like a disclaimer before the article starts. We are living in uncertain and unprecedented times and what we thought we were leading a normal life just a month ago. Now that we are in what is called by experts at the beginning of this pandemic, many will reflect on their behaviours and their relationship with others pre-COVID-19 times. This article focuses on the types of people I don’t miss rather than the things that I don’t miss. Besides sounding like click bait, I did not want to name this entry the “Top 5 Types of People That I Don’t Miss” because it would sound inhumane and it would make me look as though the world should do away with these of people. These are groups of people who you can’t scientifically classify which would promote discriminatory behaviour from others who would marginalize them. They wouldn’t be able to goto their nearest town hall to fight for their liberation. Rather they are different spectrum of people that this article observes and that will hopefully change for the better once we re-open but that may be a pipe dream in itself.
Quarantine and self-isolation is a much well-needed break from these people. You may ask why write about them if you don’t miss them? Well, what would be considered awkward to distance yourself from people pre-COVID 19 will be considered normal in the not so distant future. Simply put is that you don’t have to put up with these little energizer bunnies that drain your soul because that awkwardness will no longer be awkward anymore. Unless you let it. There will be a need for a new normal of how we will live when this is all said and done but not everyone will comply and those who are mentioned below are the ones that I would not put my money on to make those changes. Even though these people went from their high horse to their high donkeys, they are still going to want to ride into the sunset somehow.
Sassy people
Being sassy has become so prominent but these actions do not complement the actual definition of this word. These days being sassy is a negative exhibition of behaviour and it is used when someone who feels highly of themselves and/or better than anyone else in a cheeky manner. It’s almost a low-level form of bullying and it is no intensive purpose to feel bold and lively in which the dictionary defines sass. Sassy people are immature, spoon-fed, easily influenced, vulnerable and everyone’s favourite word: entitled. You would think that the more complete established part of our society are the ones who would exemplify this type of behaviour but it is the exact opposite. You know the sass is unleashed when one engages in behaviours that are deemed popular and condoned by celebrities and mainstream media which makes them think they are climbing the social ladder. One must steer away from those who exemplify these behaviours because it is not constructive rather it is nonverbally condescending sprinkled with cringing overtones. What happens to a baby when he tries to venture on its own and then when they realize that they are lost who do they come crying back to? This is what happens when people exemplify exuberant amounts of sass. When they figure out those things that they thought were truly essential had no meaning, they will quickly run back to their caregivers. Now during this pandemic not only do these people not have the safe spaces to be sassy but know when they are communicating with others that their sass will be unacceptable because we simply have no time for it and we never did in the first place. So stick that sass up your ass.
People who say “…just living the dream.”
You know when you try to spark up a conversation over the water cooler and you ask that person how they are doing or what is new? Then their exact answer is, “Oh YOU KNOW! Just living the DREAM!” You know this saying has gone viral just as bad as this pandemic but when you analyze this phrase, you have to think twice of why the person is saying this sarcastically. Are they saying this because they know they can be doing something better or be somewhere better or the fact that they have to be there and put up with you? Or is it a little bit of all these at the same time. These people are quite the character study because you know they have more than the ability and the tools to make their lives better but they don’t. They just continue to drag you down in their syndrome. They’re always thinking if the grass is greener on the other side and never enjoying the moment that has been presented. People have bad days, weeks, months, or even years and never stop to think about how good they have it. Our fast pace technocratic social media influenced society is a lot to blame for the transparent division of the haves and the have nots but it never crosses the minds of those who always think that they can always have it better that things can always be worst. You have to wonder what these are people are now saying during this pandemic. Quite frankly their dreams have been shattered.
Useless people
This is a group of people that are difficult to understand and how they have so much acceptable weight in society. In workplaces and social settings, useless people do NOT work hard, once again feel entitled and cognitively underdeveloped. Yet these people are loved and coveted because they have some other form of a contribution to the greater good but it is truly meaningless in a dog eat dog survivalist mode world. These people fall through the cracks and not only do we have to accept them but we have to pick up their slack. We can never call these people out because they will be the first ones to cry victim and you know that is another can of worms that begs to remain closed. The saying goes that actions speak louder than words but society begs to differ as now the more you speak the less you have to do. Isn’t it funny that those who talk the most and are useless at the same time you wish that they would just go home? Sure we should feel empathetic to those who are cognitively impaired but you know that these types of people live in these sensitive bubbles that you would not even dare to try to poke. Yet we put these people on almost a side pedestal on the social and corporate ladder. Maybe it is because we need to get a good laugh and they are needed for our escapism but that is the only reason why they remain in the construct of our society. During this pandemic, useless people are just going to take up space.
People who can’t take their own medicine
Here’s another group that is difficult to comprehend because you would think by now they would have learned their lesson or lessons for that matter. These people thrive on preying on the weak continually pestering and bullying them to submission. There is no scientific term for these types of people but they are simply assholes but not dicks because dicks are puny. Don’t get it wrong though these people do get a lot of love from reliable sources where it makes others even jealous. These are the types of people who have felt invincible since birth and they continue to treat people like shit throughout their life and will never for a second consider the fact that the other person may be leading a difficult life. As they say be kind to everyone because you don’t know what they are going through, but these are the type of people who love kicking people when they are down especially if you give them a head start. Assholes are accepted in societal norms because you have to have one in every setting. We get it, they are a rule of thumb and they can’t have any other way because they love their role so much. If they are allowed to slap a hundred people in the face and we do it to them just that one time to them and they end up crying wolf. You know that you have to just socially distance yourself from them because they are nearly psychotic. Even a pandemic such as this won’t save them. It’ll make them worse when they come out and they’re waiting by their door to prey on their next victim.
People who try too hard
Some will get these people mixed up with those who work too hard but these are two completely different groups of people. Trying too hard has many components such as trying to fit into a social setting and trying to impress others. This may involve trying to be hard to be everyone’s friend or even sleep with them for that matter. It also includes buying things such as articles of clothing just to get others to like them or to have them just fit in. These people always want to stand out amongst the crowd but you can sense that they are hiding bags of their insecurities and not even comfortable in their skin. It almost sad though that these people continually buy stuff and spend a large amount of their income to impress people who could not give a rat’s ass, to begin with. Though they keep on doing this to fill that void or keep getting those likes to fill that void. It’s a vicious circle that these people love to ride and they don’t know when to hop off. They live on those little shots of dopamine they get when someone compliments them on their latest purchase or when they had sex with the newest member at work. Nevertheless, everything is a little game to them but all they are doing is playing themselves from the outset.
