Pumpkin's rant of the day: Hypocrites

Tweet

This is just a mini rant today! If you use Facebook, you've no doubt seen the type posts about which I'm going to rant. It is, perhaps, not quite the accurate word but I think it's close enough. I call them 'hypocrite posts'. You know the kind (it happens in real life too): someone who never makes any effort with anyone complaining that nobody bothers with them, that sort of thing. Complaining that people aren't there for them when they're not there for anyone else, or just don't notice or appreciate those who are there for them. People who prevent others from seeing their family but are the first to complain and be upset when it's they who are missing someone. Then others who help people who complain that others only want to know them when they want something. Of course, those complainers are usually the exact people who I (and, I'm sure, others) don't see until they want something. Then, of course, there are those who say something and all you want to do is to tell them to be grateful for what they have, especially when their complaint is trivial. When I see this sort of thing, I usually think (although, I do not say) that they should think about the way they treat people. I've done it myself before - I mean, I used to wonder why people didn't make any effort with me and then realised that I wasn't making much effort myself. Of course, I tried and, long story short, I have given up with most people. But that's another story. Can you think of any other/similar things that people say and do? Do you have experience of anything like this?
