Ive felt a new and growing side to me recently. A side which just says what Im thinking at anytime, however uncomfortable this may be for someone else. I feel no guilt at all in saying these things. There is no excitement or adrenaline rush either. Tonight while queuing outside a chip shop things came to a head though.
A man had a dog, a hound that kept barking in front of me, or rather it made a series of barks every 30 seconds. After 2 minutes I suddenly shouted at him " For gods sake shut that bloody dog up ". It just came out. One moment I was thinking it, and the other I was yelling it. It seemed seamless and automatic and I didnt give a damn. Not like me at all. My wife who was embarrassed told me to just wait in the car while she continued queuing.
Maybe its a lack of inhibition thats being caused by the pills Im taking ? I also think that after the hellish year Ive had I just feel that I can cut loose a bit more in my actions. This is going to take some watching as that split second moment between thinking and saying seems to be none existent. How many of us have a safety catch for our mouths ? Or maybe we are scared to say what we think ?
I think you did the right thing. The dog was becoming a nuisance, and he was being irresponsible.
ReplyDeleteNo one says anything about a dog. Its akin to shouting at some ones child...lol
