Life is always trying to get a rise out of you. I was discussing the lack of toilet paper with the cashier and another customer. I had a pile of cat food cans that I was buying.
Guy in line behind me says he's not worried about toilet paper shortages. He'll just use his cat to wipe his butt. I looked at him and smiled. I don't react to comments like that because despite the fact he's trying to get a rise out of me, I'm well acquainted with that macho type of thinking "dogs are good, cats are bad." I didn't say anything, just ignored him. This is the thing, too, people. If you have trouble with reacting to people yanking your chain, take note of the times you DIDN'T react. When we do react we feel like a "total failure" and in fact there are provocations we don't react to and you have to notice this as well. You have to remember that attacking someone back won't change their way of thinking, and it won't help you much either. I feel sorry for his cat, though. This is the kind of town I live in. Can't wait to move.
