I, too, am a "blurter". The more offended, annoyed or angry I am, the quicker it comes out and it just ROLLS off my tongue.
I suppose, to some, this qualifies me for "low class" but I is what I is!
I have never gotten in trouble (yet!) for anything I've ever said, but maybe because what I said was TRUE!!!
I went off three really really good times in my life at work. All three times, the words flowed like venom from my mouth, my back was ram-rod straight, my feet planted firmly apart and I felt like I boring a hole into somebody's head with my stare. All three were instances where I felt my pt needed my defense against the ignorant jerk who thinks it's funny to tease or laugh at my poor little geros in our psych ward.
Nobody NOBODY laughs at, teases or bullies my babies!!!
When the situation is bad enough, I don't wish I'd said it, I just say it.
I don't know why.
It just happens!
Oh and I get wickedly witty too when I'm mad.... look out!! LOL
Maybe you need to make a trip to the ER to have that stick removed from your @**!
