Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    And this is exactly why I avoid going into shops whenever possible - thank goodness for online shopping!
    ‘Back to school’, before the holidays have even started, Halloween from July, Christmas from August, Easter eggs and Valentines nonsense from Boxing Day, not to mention ramming Mothers Day and Fathers Day in your face months before the event, then whatever interminable sports event is happening over the summer…

    You can’t buy a winter coat if you need one in January because the shops are full of summer clothes, if you’re going on holiday at the end of the summer make sure you buy anything you need by March because by late August you’ll only be able to find winter clothes… 🤦🏻‍♀️

    (Rant over)
    Everything will be alright in the end so, if it’s not yet alright, it means it’s not yet the end
