Sick and tired of stupid crap

The older I get, the less tolerant I am of what I regard as stupid crap. I have very little patience these days for so many things. I've reached an age where I feel like I can no longer suffer fools lightly. I've grown tired of allowing people to walk all over me as well and I am finally getting to the point where I feel it is necessary to defend myself against any manner of stupid things. For example, I have rather poor eyesight and prefer to post to various listservs in large print font. Well, some folks have taken umbrage to that and have leveled a host of accusations that I am using the large font in order to shout, which isn't true. People judge the use of large print font on an e-mail or listserv as being shouting instead of considering that there might be a legitimate reason that someone might want to use a larger font, like, say, for example, poor eyesight. I think that the 'Net makes people far ruder than they would be in person because it's so easy to fire off nasty e-mails because you aren't sitting there facing the person. It's easy to make snap judgements about things you don't grasp or understand. It's easy to argue with strangers because you don't have to do so face to face in the same room. I get so tired of people judging others they hardly know based on a few tidbits they glean from reading postings or stuff they get from the Internet. Just seems to me like people anymore are so quick to judge someone when they hardly even know them. Maybe I am just becoming an old fuddy duddy, I don't know, but I'm rapidly losing patience with so many things lately. Perhaps I hold the world to a too high standard, I don't know, but I feel like I am living in a world that is rapidly dumbing down and I feel more and more like a stranger in a world where manners and common sense just no longer have a place. It's frustrating but it's the world we live in right now. So I suppose I ought to just cope, but....I'm to the point in my life where I am losing patience. As a friend of mine once said, "This isn't the future I signed up for." Yeah. So true.
