Why do people leave the house when they are in a bad mood? Is it that they do not recognize the signs of a bad mood?  If so, here are a few examples. If you wake up on the proverbial wrong side of the bed, you are probably going to be in a bad mood. When there is family morning chaos, drama, and mayhem resulting in a late start to the preplanned busy day, you are probably going to be in a bad mood. Stuck in traffic, missed your important meeting, and asked to report to your boss’s office when you finally arrive, you are probably going to be in a bad mood. Feeling sick and tired of being sick and tired, you are probably in a bad mood.

Guess what? Problems, bad days, unforeseen circumstances arise, and they offset your day. But that is your day. Do not mess up anyone else’s day because your day has turned sour. It is an unnecessary evil for you to hauntingly stare people down in a store, drive on the bumper of the vehicle you are following, or any of the numerous acts of unkindness that can be contemplated in a day.

When you are in a bad mood you should stay home or return home immediately after you notice bad behavior due to a bad mood. Do not subject the rest of the world to your anger, temper tantrums, foul looks, road rage, and negative energy. We are trying to keep ourselves together and do not need any of your negative energy to change our day. Please do not be mad with this statement, but you need to realize that it is not all about you. And you need to release all that garbage energy that you direct at others into your environment.

Proofreading this very personal pet peeve, I could not help but laugh out loud. I may be laughing, but I mean every word that I have said. Because if you hit me with a cart in a store, hit my car while plowing through traffic, or verbally unleash on me for any reason and especially no reason at all; we are both going to be in a bad mood. So please stay home when you are in a bad mood, you may save me some bail money.
