Let’s establish a rule here

It’s a simple rule, really. Really simple. But you, idiot people which I’ve had the displeasure of meeting over the years must remember this very simple rule. Ready? Here goes:

You DO NOT get to ask for my opinion and then be offended by it.

I’m blunt. If you’ve known me for more then 3 seconds this becomes clear. I will present you with my honest opinion if you ask for it. This includes attesting the fact that those pants do indeed make you look fat, recreating a scene from Jackass is moronic and you are just being an idiot in general. I’ll be polite about it and refrain from saying something like “Why the fuck would you even consider doing such a thing, you ignorant cretin?” but make no mistake, I will tell you that it’s stupid. If you think you know me well enough to ask for my opinion on something you’d like to do or have already done, then don’t be offended when I tell you that you are wrong. Don’t huff, puff or stomp your feet because I will not give a damn. You are a grown-up, you wanted to see what I think, I told you that, deal with it. And, oh, by the way, don’t come crying to me when you have to deal with the mess you’ve created by doing the thing I already told you you shouldn’t do.

If you can understand that people will think differently then you do, thank you. You have my respect.
