Some days annoy me

Today, someone really ticked me off.

And the thing is it wasn't even over a big thing, quite a small comment actually but the audacity behind it just annoyed me beyond comprehension. I'll begin but expect a rant.

So, I'm sitting in class, editing a photograph as I usually do on a Tuesday afternoon and everything is good. Anyway, I get up to print and as I'm standing there waiting for it to do so, one of the guys in my class, a very pretentious, up himself kid, looks at me and blurts out: "Your necklaces look stupid."
I pause and just look at him, unsure if he's serious or being sarcastic and just trying to wind me up. I ask him why they're stupid and he replies with the helpful. "they just are."

Now, he is entitled to his opinion, everyone is and I can respect that, as long as he can tell me why he feels that way. So, I ask him why again, this time with a little more emphasis, Im curious now, I want to know why he doesn't like them. Oh and for your benefit, the necklaces I was wearing that day consisted of an angel wing, a cartoon cat and a small camera pendant. Anyway, his reply is what annoyed me so.

"It's just stupid, all men who wear necklaces look stupid."

Are you serious? All men look stupid just because they wear necklaces? Where the hell is the sense in that. Essentially that makes at least a quarter of the male sex idiots. It's sexist, it's pretty much saying that only women are allowed to wear jewellery, where's the equal rights? Why in the world would women be able to wear a necklace and look fine, but if a guy does then he's a fool?

I wear necklaces because it makes me happy, it's the only reason I do anything in this world, because it keeps me happy and content. This kid pretty much said to me that what makes me happy is stupid. And then he wonders why I was a little annoyed with him, he offends me and then gets angry with me for being offended.

But maybe I'm looking too deeply into things again, he's entitled to a opinion, no matter my own views against it. But it offended me, and the fact that he didn't realise his words caused offence annoyed me more then the actual comment.

But that's enough ranting I think.
