14th November 2006 - The one about the two rudest people EVER!!

So, today I have done a wicked photo shoot for a campaign about saving energy (more about that later) and I have driven up to London to meet DJ Mark, Stevie, my mum and dad (and others) to all go and watch my brother's gig. It was a kind of showcase type gig where he had to play all his own songs.

It's 11.30pm and I've just got home with Stevie (who is staying at mine) and we have just got out of my car fuming at having been in the car with two of the rudest people ever!!! Basically, a friend of mine came to the gig with me and brought with him a friend of his. We had a good laugh on the way up there but coming back the two boys were quite tired and not very talkative. Me and Stevie were chatting away, catching up on all the stuff that's been going on in our lives when all of a sudden it became quite apparent that the two boys were texting each other whilst sitting in the car (one was sitting in the front and one was in the back)!!! They kept sniggering and trying to hide little laughs. Of course, Stevie and I can only assume that they are texting each other ABOUT one of us and even if they weren't then it's still the RUDEST thing ever! I mean even someone with very basic manners would surely know how rude that is. I don't know if they thought we were stupid or something (ie. they didn't realise we'd clock onto it) or if they have just been dragged up with the manners of a pig but either way it has really pissed me off.

I tried to hint to one of them that I knew what he was doing but still he carried on oblivious and eventually when I stopped to get food, I lost it with both of them and shouted at them "Do you think we're f*cking stupid or what?" I gave them both a telling off like the little boys they clearly are and hopefully made them realise how rude they were being (although one of them still had the audacity to say "It's not rude - we just had things to say that maybe weren't for anyone else to hear" - if that's the case then wait til you get home and talk all you want - don't do it in my car!). Honestly it saddens me that people are so disgustingly rude and lacking in simple manners. It's yet another reason to add to my list of "why I won't bring children up in this country" - no God damn manners anymore. Didn't their parents teach them the very basics at least I wonder?!

I know I'm ranting but I don't care. I'm so annoyed right now that these two boys could be so rude (and ignorant enough to not even know it). I'm not even annoyed for myself because quite frankly I don't care what they were texting each other; I'm annoyed because they sum up all the rude, stupid and ignorant people I deal with on a daily basis. I would at least expect any friend of mine to have common courtesy and respect. These two boys had neither. I only know one of them but that didn't stop me having a go at both of them. You know me - say what I think and all that! When we arrived at mine and they both went to say goodbye I said to the one I didn't know "learn some manners and you'll be quite a nice bloke" He shuffled awkwardly for a second before scurrying off to his car. All he had to do at that point was say "sorry, that WAS rude of me" but no - sorry I'm forgetting that neither one HAS basic manners so of course they didn't think to apologise!

With them texting each other and sniggering, it made me and Stevie feel very uncomfortable. We didn't really know what to say (and if you know anything about the two of us; you know we're not normally lost for words!). Bear in mind we're all in a car together with no music on or anything. It's the absolute height of rudeness! I bet their mums are proud of them! Yeah right...... My mum would give me a huge telling off if I did anything of the sort and she'd certainly give Jordan a clip round the ear if he did it. ha ha. But then we are lucky I suppose that we have been brought up to have respect and manners. It's d*cks like these two that will always wonder why they're not getting anywhere in life (let me give you a clue: it's because they lack the social skills to better themselves). Funny cos all the way to Notting Hill they were chatting about how they never want to work for someone else (preferring to be their own boss) and how they want to "make loads of money" - well sorry to tell you boys, but you ain't never gonna be a millionaire while you're pissing off everyone you meet by being rude and ignorant.

I hope they read this and I hope it shames them into realising just how disgusting their behaviour was. I wonder how they would have felt if the boot were on the other foot and if me and one of the girls had been texting each other and laughing in front of them (or worse - sitting in the same car as them) The sad fact is that they're so full of themselves they will probably just read this and get pissed off. They won't realise how rude they've been, they'll just be annoyed that I dared to speak about them in this way (even though I am keeping their identity anonymous). Honestly I just don't have time for rude people. I experience enough of those on a daily basis just walking down Brentwood High Street - I don't need someone I thought was a mate doing it in my own car! One word: twats. Actually, eleven words: rude, arrogant, ignorant, no-mannered, disrespectful, pathetic sorry excuses for grown men!!!

Moving on....... I'll tell you all about my photo shoot tomorrow cos it'll give me something to talk about and right now I want to catch up some more with Stevie. I'm so embarrassed about what just happened. I haven't seen Stevie in ages and the first time we get to have a bit of a catch-up, I've got two blokes with me he's never met and they're the rudest two people in the world (they may as well have called us c*nts to our faces). I know Stevie would never think badly of ME but I feel bad for the very fact that it looks like in the time I haven't seen him, I've started hanging around a bunch of losers with no manners. As a group of friends, none of us are like that. We're all very well-mannered (until we're drunk and someone abuses me in the street for no reason - but hey - we're allowed to have a pop back occasionally - we'd be in strait-jackets if we didn't, plus we have the alcohol to blame!). Seriously though; we are such a polite bunch, we never make people feel uncomfortable. In fact, we go out of our way to make people feel welcome and we adapt ourselves to suit who ever we may be talking to, for example I would never swear in front of someone's mum or whatever.

Anyway, REALLY moving on..... The gig was really good. Jord only did about 8 songs cos it was just a showcase of his songs but he did them really well. I'm so proud of him. I nearly cried when he sung The Reverend; my eyes welled up! He's amazing! I'm now off to get Paddy and Lyla from my mum's house. Because I've been working all day I dropped them there and my dad took them for a walk for me. After that me and Stevie are going to come back and have a gossip and slag off rude people some more until we've got it out of our systems! Tomorrow I will write with tales of laughter and joy and fit men and sex and relationships (no I still haven't figured out the answers but I'm surely getting nearer every day?!) J

Hope you had a good Tuesday - I had an amazing one, right up until the point where two ignorant men thought they were too good to talk to us!

Loads of love Jodie x x x x x
