The Pettiness of Children

It is surprising to me the amount of people in this world who find it perfectly acceptable to behave like children. It would seem at some point they would become embarassed by their behavior (This is a broad generalization that covers a vast amount of possible situations). People gossip, back-bite, betray, "talk shit", and ignore others at their discretion and often times with little reason.

However, when they then want something they go to great lengths to make sure others respond promptly and don't relent until they get some type of response. It's mind-baffling really. I just don't understand how people can expect so much yet offer so little in return. Why are their needs, wants, and desires of greater priority than anyone else's? I don't know how their self-righteous indignation overtakes all common sense of courtesy and decency.

What are your thoughts?

OMG! I totally know what you are talking about. We have extended family that treats us like shit. If they want us to do something they call and email incessently , However if we need something or try to address an issue with them they don't return our calls and ignore our emails like it's okay. I hate that. Stupid assholes!

Just one more thing...I think people like this are just selfish and immature. You don't want them in your life anyway. Just negative energy!

I think people who act like that are cowards. Their parents obviously did not teach them any better and they simply continued the cycle of childish pettiness.
