I seriously put my foot my in my mouth ALL THE TIME. It’s usually about pretty inane things, but yeah, I’ve been know to disparage something that someone “OMG, loves!” and then I end up feeling like a huge ass. Which, you know, sometimes I totally am a huge ass.

Recently I gave someone a book they were excited to read (Hi, Sookie Stackhouse #10) after I had bought and read it and was all “Here you go! It SUCKS.” Niiiice, Kerri.

Sandi tells me its rude to comment on people’s blogs with any real, yet negative views you may have regarding their posts. So, this is a very interesting topic.

Tom, the longer I’ve lived in an urban area, the more I see the cultural differences between where we grew up and, well, The Big City. I think the wedding invitation thing is one of them. Most of the weddings I attended before my twenties were just published in the newspaper and whoever wanted to show up stopped by and ate some cake.

Also, I’ve never associated you with Tom Arnold. You have much better judgment than to marry Roseanne.

Jonniker, now that you mention it, I did the same thing. I was slightly older but felt the same way. It seemed like such good news that my friend was sharing, and it was not at all surprising to me, so why shouldn’t I share it? Ack.

R, I can’t be friends with really sensitive people either. I terrify them, especially because I seem quite mild-mannered at first and then (accidentally) zing them when they aren’t expecting it.

I can’t be friends with really sensitive people because I’m the same way.

The first example of rudeness I can think of is when I was making some kind of dumb comment about a humongous extended SUV and then it turned out that one of my friends had the same SUV and was really offended. I’m so rude that I feel bad about it.

Once, many years ago, I outed a friend as a lesbian to a few people who didn’t know. I was young, had no idea what a huge, huge deal it was (I think I was 16?) and didn’t know it wasn’t common knowledge. Maybe not intentionally rude, but MAN, it haunts me to this day.

First, a comment or two about your supposed rudeness – I would find it totally acceptable to ask if bringing a date to a wedding was okay. Also, I don’t find it particularly rude to ask a person what their ethnicity is, as long as it’s done in a way that conveys curiosity about what makes us us, rather than looking for something to mock/lord over someone (and knowing you, I’m sure it was the former).

Now, on to my own rudeness. It abounds, every day. I’m usually the loudest person in a room, and have a tendency to overtake the energy in a room. If it were similar to the way a Nobel laureate can command the energy in a room, that would be one thing, but it strikes me more as the way Tom Arnold does.

I also tend to be a tad condescending (especially to the minions that I command at work – wait…), while at the same time hiding it as “frankness” or whatever. Not sure which of those are more annoying.

Hey hey,

I officially kicked butt at the Oscar selection – where’s my prize!?! Last year, I was third from last- talk about a comeback!

So, I officially sucked at the Oscar selecting this year, but I’m just happy Avatar didn’t win for anything other than special effects mumbo-jumbo. Well played, Academy.
