Cocky People

Anybody who knows me knows that I am not a cocky person. I generally keep my mouth shut and try to let my actions speak for themselves. Today at softball (which is supposed to be my one relaxing activity for the weekend), the shortstop was a complete butt-hole. He was talking trash the entire game, and just being an idiot. For no reason, he made comments to people, including myself. I hit a hard grounder up the middle for a double, and he said to me "yeah, it's easy to hit up the middle when it's a girl pitching who you know will move out of the way". Are you kidding me? I don't care who is pitching, I don't swing any different for anyone. I won't go into the details of what he did that almost caused a fight with another player (not myself), but he would have deserved anything he would have gotten. And then later in the game he did the same thing that he got pissed off about when our player did it by accident.

I guess the moral of the story is that everyone has to deal with jerks sometimes. Its hard to keep cool and not say anything. Sometimes things need to be said, but people like him generally get what they deserve in the long run, so it's better not to bring yourself down to his level. It's hard to do, but be the bigger person (and carry a big stick).
