As much as I rant and rave on here, I really should not make fun of folks who get angry and tell me stories about what got them so upset. Normally, I wouldn’t, but it’s one habit that people do in these situations that make it hard to listen objectively. That habit: The pissed-off impression.
I can’t help it. I laugh when I hear someone talk about someone else who pissed them off or did something stupid, then proceed to mock said person or imitate his or her vocal inflections. For some reason, angry people do the best impressions. If it’s someone I know, I’m laughing. I don’t care if Veronica slept with your fiancee…You shouldn’t have done such a good impression of her voice. You know that lisp is hilarious! It’s almost like her tongue is magnetically attracted to her teeth whenever she tries to talk. Next time, keep your story anonymous if you don’t want me to laugh!
I know somebody out here has to be able to relate to this. I know, I know…this is probably even less profound than the “Hard Gay Cooking” video from the other day. It’s hard to out-simpleton that clip, but I’m tired right now so I just may have done it. Either way, to all of those out there who feel the need to share your troubles in life with me, please do not mock mutual friends of ours. That is, unless you want me to ignore your pain altogether and laugh at whatever personal flaw of his or hers that you have angrily chosen to focus on. From that point on, it’s no longer about your pain; the focus has shifted to my amusement.

I always find myself laughing at people who slam their fist into their other hand to the beat of each word in order to make their point. I know someone is PISSED when they do that, but just to see it, I start mocking at them. It’s a wonder I haven’t gotten my ass kicked yet.
I do great impressions when Im mad at someone. I try not to do that too much though, cause I dont want folks to think Im objectifying or sterotyping them, even though I am, LOL.
