Sarcasm of A Complainant


Let’s put my ego and sarcasm into good use. Remember those times when you’re arguing with a friend about something that both of you couldn’t agree on? Well here are some topics that could have been that.

The Good and Bad Film

He says it’s boring, dragging and hanging. Well it wasn’t your typical explosive blockbuster film but a well-directed story about some serious topic. It’s not anyone’s fault that a bored viewer’s eye couldn’t catch or appreciate the artistry behind the film. He probably had short-term attention span and smaller expanse of understanding. Perhaps missing the sophistication there? So each film can have a different effect per person.

Lesson: A person’s capacity to grasp and appreciate a story and how it’s told is a big factor when it comes to appreciating a film.

The Good and Bad Shoe

People tend to stick to brands and overly endorse their very persuasive opinions (enforcement) to others. She says this brand of shoes is totally uncomfortable and hurtful and discourages everyone not to get a pair from it. The thing is I had one and it suits me fine, fits well, comfortable enough. It’s not my fault she has an excessively large feet right? So treat each shoe apart from the brand (except when we talk about quality). You’ll never know what other people’s mismatch could be your perfect match.

Lesson: Never judge a pair of shoe if it didn’t like you in the first place.

An Attempt at an American Accent

It embarrasses me that I actually have a friend who desperately tries to say her English in an American tone. Well, it’s not American but sometimes it sounds like an alien for the sake of trying too hard pronouncing some words. A “No” is no, but when it’s from her mouth you hear “Nowr” –with a bit of a silent “r”. She was practically putting out her main message out there: I’m insecure about a lot of things but I want to say my English in an Amercian accent. Ridiculous. Pity because she must have put in a lot of effort to say her words but then the only result that comes out of it from the people who heard her is “Ano bay an?!”.

Lesson: Never pretend to be something that you’re not, by all means -except when you’re trying to write an article like this.

P.S. This is a product of an attempt in writing an ironic and sarcastic evaluation. If it comes out to you that the author is egotistical and proud, I apologize it’s the character I’m trying to play here.
