A little rant about ignorant people

[Alysser]

Zara, sadly ignorant people are something we all will have to deal with, everyday! Yes it is very unfourtunate but it happens, and I think it sucks to. If I so much as mention my dog in a conversation we are having as a class, everyone begins saying things like "HOW DO YOU ALWAYS GET A DOG INTO THIS??" and they always think I "ruin" their conversation. During the summer, I was talking with Jenna and my other friend, Kathleen about invisible fences I think it was, and these boys begin saying "Omg invisible fences are sooo mean!" and other crap and making fun of us.

I don't understand people like that, and furthermore, I think you should just ignore them and I'm serious. I know everyone says that but it's completely true. Where the hell did they get the idea that being a Vet is a crap job?? Some people...

Don't get me wrong, I can stick up for myself perfectly well, I just get annoyed at all these idiots contaminating our beautiful world.

Zara,

You just DID stick up for yourself and I am damn proud of you!! There are TONS of idiots out there, pathetic as they are, there's not much you can do about it except ignore the jerks and continue with your dream of becoming a vet, and a great one at that, I just know it!!!

Zara (((HUGS)))
Some People are just stupid and don't understand your loves and all of PTs love for that matter for animals.Animals who can't speak for themselves.You will become a vet and be the best dang vet there ever was.
You did a good job sticking up for yourself.Remember we all here for you if you ever want to talk and vent again.

You tell em girl! lol...

Yes there are many people who dont have an education on vets and such but it does not mean they have to complain about it. So what if you want to become a vet thats your choice not there's,so when they say Why do you want to be a dumb vet or somthing you say..

''Because I can and if you dont like it then go complain to yourself as I dont want to hear about''

Those Looders...

I've been thinking about your thread. I agree that they are losers. But may I suggest an alternative to "ignorant"--at least for some of them?

Sounds to me like some of them are being bullies. They're just being nasty because they can. And probably some of them are just a little jealous or feel somehow threatened. ("I eat meat...does that make me bad? No, I'll just say something nasty to the vegetarian to prove I'm better.")

Jerks.

But here's another thought: These type of people don't go away. Many of them mature and stop this nonsense, but many people don't.

As a vet, you'll meet people that will exasperate you every day. So, think of this as practice.

Good luck to you and congratulations on your noble career selection!

You probably do have a point there. It isn't bullying as such, as people know I don't tolerate people like that, but they are doing it to tick me off certainly. I suppose really what they say doesn't affect me, I know I'm right and they're wrong and that's that. It's getting angry and hostile that I don't like. I naturally snap when people push me over the edge.

Yes, that is true And thanks a lot for the advice
