Control Yourself for Goodness Sake


I'm pretty sure everyone deep down wants to one day make a massive dramatic scene. You know those occasions where you can picture it perfectly, someone's getting on your last nerve and you have that perfect sharp insult in mind and your eyes on the most slammable door, but you hold your tongue for one reason or another. I've reached this point so many times it's unbearable, you just want to say "You know what (slam down/crush item you're holding) you're nothing but a(n) -insert your true uninhibited thoughts on him/her/it here-" before leaving, pushing as many things over or out of your way as you go, but you pass it off because you: need a job for money/you've already arranged to do something later in the week with that person and they're paying/you're in a china shop. Though you always do reserve the feelings, save it for another time when you'll definately seize the opportunity with both hands and squash someones overly large ego down to real size. But what if we never ever do? I don't know about you, but I don't like the idea of dying without leaving the legacy of a really ugly tantrum and some shell-shocked person in my wake. I mean if they never know what you really think, or even if they know but only increased in smugness knowing you couldn't say anything, they may well stand up at your funeral and claim how you two were the best of friends, claiming all sympathy for themselves. You can't exactly jump out of your coffin screaming "LIAR! I HATE THEM!", though if you did that would probably be the most dramatic set up for such a scene. I wonder how long it would take for your parents to forgive you after that...
