A Few words about D***S
Satire for rude behavior48 total reviews
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
When you have something to say you just come right out and say it don't you? Your message may be hidden but I know the circumstances. There is no reason for dicks or dicklesses (dicklesses?)
Anyway, this site should be for everyone's enjoyment and fulfillment, and potential edification. Now as I slowly work my way back into things I will continue to critically review whatever it is I review, but I do it for the writer more than for myself. If I can find three misspelled words before the general public does, that's a much better deal for the writer.
Gotta go, good to read you again Terry, Don't go.
Sorry, no sixes left.

Gary, so good to hear from you! I am old and running out of gas. Terry
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
All the creeps are extra small regardless of the meaty parts. Great rant and I agree with you, some people are hopeless. I got a 1 from a guy who wanted to make sure I knew he was talking down to me.

Wow, he is a dick! Thanks for reading. Terry
Comment from Wendy G
A very well written rant, with some excellent examples of offenders. I have found that at times the best reaction ... is no reaction at all. If you just keep looking at them, almost through them, saying nothing, it tends to peter out. They slink away, embarrassed by their own foolishness.

Excellent rant here about annoying people. I am laughing over your remark about wearing the mask in the grocery store. Good response to a dumb question. I also like the prices you listed for food, I went shopping today and it was a scary experience with the increase in prices. This is a well written rant that I am sure everyone can relate to.

Thank you very much, Terry.
Comment from Faith Williams
Your title already had me laughing, Terry. Who says you can't be like Tom Brady? Unretire! RAAAAH, and the crowd goes wild at the announcement!
The analogy between your writing and football career made me chuckle as well. Then I lost it reading your response to the guy in the grocery store. Gaining control of myself, I again lost it reading about the drop box from Amazon. In this day and age of gender identity, I think calling a woman a dick is permissible though they're sometimes called a 'Karen.' Personally, I have my own rating scale for behavior of ass, asshole, and outright dick, all dependent upon the degree of rudeness.
'To be clear, it is not the message but the condescending delivery.' A great explanation, but one that will be overlooked and ignored. Some people aren't interested in their delivery of reviews, but it does matter.
Thank you, Terry, for your humorous rant. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your words were well chosen, Terry. People who act
and speak as you described only have their egoistical
little mind that tells them they are right. Yes, it can be
males or females. You gave readers some great and true
examples of the stupidity of them. When confronted with
one of these, the individual needs to remember s/he has
the power to chose to be like them or ignore them.
Thanks for sharing, Jan

Comment from karenina
Rude behavior is asexual, I think. If I didn't know the name of the perpetrator, I'd not be worrying about what to call him or her-- In fact, I "choose" not to let him or her get under my skin.
Sadly, as a "Karen" in real life, I agree with other comments that "Karen" is the term of choice, these days, for rude, pushy, entitled, overbearing, women.
(Not a big fan of that choice since it's my given name, but I do my best not to resemble the modern term!)
I am informed by my grandkids that "Chad" is a similar term for men...but I haven't encountered it myself.
All that being said, your post addresses that select group of reviewers who seem to take great satisfaction in disrespecting the writer, rather than offering anything encouraging or, heaven forbid, constructive help...
Your humor is intact ~~ we can laugh at these things AND choose not to let them get to us!
Love it when you post!

You dear lady are a real Karen not a fake one. I have never heard those terms. Thanks for reading. Terry.

Maybe that's why I cling to my dad's name for me: Karenina. I think I liked the way he saw me!
Smile...
Comment from Pam Lonsdale
For the record, I think women who are dicks are now referred to as "Karen's.". My good friend, Karen, is not a dick, but she's still a Karen. Gets confusing . . .
I'm glad you retired, Terry. I enjoy this new side of you. How about a weekly column here called, Terry's Tantrums.". I'd enjoy it:-)

LOL, thanks for the six stars! I don?t know about the column. Terry.
Comment from Ulla
Thanks a lot for sharing this rant about being a dick or a female dickless. Well it goes without saying that a woman don't have a dick, but that doesn't mean they can't behave like one. So what about them being a dickess? Just made up that word. But it would be quite correct in the context, no? All the best of luck. Ulla:)))

Ulla, I have learned from others today that the proper term is Karen. I don?t know why. Thanks for reading. Terry

No, I can't say I know why either, lol.
Comment from LJbutterfly
I've read a few contest rants, but this is the most humorous, starting with the masks. A few people still wear masks. I for one, like wearing one in crowded spaces. I feel protected from people couching and sneezing.
How about bad reviews? I read the reviews of one writer's work. A reviewer made kind suggestions for improvement. The writer didn't like it, but made changes and asked the reviewer to change the review. Writer and reviewer then had an ugly discussion.
I like your suggestion...using our power to choose. Great rant. Best wishes in the contest.
