Have you ever met someone and not liked them just by looking at them? Something in your gut tells you “Nope.” And you don’t know why and you feel really petty (or Petti haha) and think to yourself, “Oh stop. She’s fine. You’re being a jerk.”

Sometimes I’m wrong and the person ends up being great. But 99% of the time when I get that 6th sense feeling, they prove what I’ve known from the start – that I should’ve stayed away. But by then they’re in your life and you can’t wait for the day that everyone sees them for the vile person they are and then I say, “See! I told you so! I was right!!!” (Hey I already told you I was Petti.)

The universe has placed several people like that in my life. What’s weird is that they’re never around at the same time. When one of the proverbial heads get cut off, another grows back in its place.

I just read a quote that I think explains why these people are put in my path:

If nothing else, some people just teach you how not to be.

Precisely.

My friend’s son was being bullied and he couldn’t understand why they’d treat him that way. I pointed out that it’s unfathomable to him because he’s not an asshole.

That quote again:

If nothing else, some people just teach you how not to be.

Read it. Learn it. And remind yourself of it the next time someone like that is in your life and you have to deal with their shit until they eventually go down. Because from my experience, they always go down. Just wait.
