So you're off on holiday, well how Jim Dandy for you.
No, I'm really happy for you, I hope you have a lovely time and come back refreshed and ready to face the world again like a new born infant.
But for those of us who won't be going on 'holiday' for the foreseeable future, can I just say "Shut the fuck up"
I don't want to hear about your plans, the little taverna, your holiday home in France, Algarve, Tuscany , the lovely unspoilt beaches. the amusing locals.
I'm talking to you Nadine ( I take August Off) Dorries , the bloke who stood next to me in the pub and the lady on the till in Sainsburys and all the rest.
I don't want to read that 'blogging may be light as the Internet in Walachia is soo slow' .
I know you would hate to be considered 'insensitive' but in the worst recession for 50 years, that's what you're being. Is it Schadenfreude, one upmanship or just plain ignorance. I know you worked hard for your money (unless you're a politician) and you deserve a break, I don't begrudge you it at all. Just stop rubbing my face in it, it pisses me off.
So; Shut the fuck up - Go - Have a lovely time - Think about how lucky you are to be able to go on holiday this year - Come back - and then Shut the fuck up.
And when you do come back, the only acceptable answer to the socially polite inquiry "
Did you have a nice holiday?" is: "Yes, it was nice."
Then shut the fuck up.

Don't start me. I'm going to smack the next housewife full on in the face when she tells me she 'needs' a holiday. How hard is life when you have the kids at school all day, and a housekeeper 2 days a week? What, exactly, do you need a holiday from?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I don't want to hear about it
-Not going away these school holidays, then?
-*snarls* No, the school holidays don't always coincide with my work holidays, you know...
I take your point, but what would you like people to blog about then, if they're not allowed to discuss things that might be insensitive to any given group?
ReplyDeleteDo mummy bloggers offend those who can't have kids? Motoring bloggers piss off people who can't drive? Music bloggers get right up the nose of deaf people?
