     hope you get a laugh out of this short piece about how to turn the tables on braggers, idiots and trouble makers...all in fun of course! :)

 Idiots, braggers and trouble makers sure like to be right

all the time...they also like to be loud, arrogant and annoying.

For the innocent bystander, here are a few tips on how

to handle these insensitive clods and beat them at their own

game...or not...its your choice!

1. Braggers like to "show off" their "stuff"! Stuff is nice

and its always new and shiny. The attraction of new stuff

is that nobody else has it yet. The bragger has one -up on you

and that makes them feel superior. Don't steal their thunder

by ignoring them. Revel in their arrogance, linger in their

shadow, and let them have their moment in the sun.

But, don't be a doormat. Just listen long enough to get your

opportunity to get in a zinger to put them back in their

place....

If a bragger, shows off his shiny new rings, Rolex, diamonds, or loose change, smile politely, bow in reverence and say,

"Wow!! My cousin won one just like this at the county fair.

Nice throwing!!"

 

2.  Trouble makers like to get their way. They are loud, obnoxious and irritating...They usually do get what they want,

but they drag everyone else down with them! Don't let them

drag you down too!! If they want to shout, rant, and scream, go ahead and join them! The both of you will cancel each other out and the argument will turn into a silly screaming match...At least one of you will start laughing and then

it will be no point arguing then, now is it?? Good!! Laughter

usually solves most problems...at least I think so!

 

3. Idiots love attention...they will do almost anything to get it...

why not shine the camera on them and let them at it...If they

are mad at the world...Put them on camera and let them rant...

They will run out of steam and nobody gets hurt...Now sit

them down and let them watch themselves on tape...the

idiot will feel embarrassed at his own rant and that will be enough for them to not try that again!!

 

Its funny about people sometimes. The more you shine the

mirror on someone, the sillier they seem. Try not to

take these insecure people too seriously. They can't help it.

They need the attention and if they have the IQ of a flea

then that's what they put out. Just sit back and enjoy

the show!  Just kidding!!!

 

4. The innocent by-stander does not have to be the victim of

these arrogant people. They can walk away or stay. If you

stay, you can turn any loud mouth around by just saying

three words..."Is that so?"

that stops them every time...

It both impresses and denies...and who can argue

that?

 

keep them wondering and just don't worry about it....

 

be happy and let them be....

 

idiots, braggers and trouble makers....

 

you can't change them...so don't change

you for anyone!!

 

thanks for reading!!

 

:)
