People who 'tell it like it is'
I recently watched an episode of 'Come Dine With Me' and nearly put my telly out in a fit of apoplectic rage at one woman who encompassed everything I hate about opinionated self-righteous scum.

She was the epitome of 'doley-scum' yet believed that she had the right to not just judge and deride her fellow contestants, but to do it in a rude and obnoxious manner. Having started one argument by criticising somebody for no apparent reason other than the fact that she was looking for a fight, she then proceeded to say the line I hate to hear most: "I'm sorry, but I tell it like it is, and if you don't like it that's your problem."

No it's not. It's YOUR fucking problem that your too socially retarded to be able to apply normal etiquette to a situation and save your barbed, half-witted comments for the 'confessional' camera. You clearly have no idea how to conduct yourself in public and make up for your fuckwittedness by putting on a self-aggrandizing moronic front that only serves to ruin an atmosphere, create discord and destroy any semblance of harmony. You spoil perfectly adequate attempts to create a happy, bon viveur environment and bring everybody down to your black, depressing, soul-less level just because you think that 'saying it like it is' is some kind of virtue to be worn proudly on your sleeve, alongside your cheap tattoos and chavvy bangles. Why don't you take your thick skull out of your arse, take a look around at reality and then forcefully shove it back up there so that the shit that comes out of your mouth is at least in the correct anatomical region of your haggard, pathetic body!

It was weeks ago and it still irks me...

Isn't the whole point of Come Dine With Me to sneer smugly at the social inadequates?
It's the televisual equivalent of reading qotw.

If you're getting annoyed then you're watching it all wrong.

Sneering, I have no problem with...
but telly isn't supposed to make me angry. OK, it is, and the producers clearly intended that, but it's more the type of person who "tell's it like it is" that still gets me into a rage, as opposed to Come Dine With Me itself.

Another fine example is that woman who plays Mimi on Shameless when she was on Big Brother. In fact, a lot of the bog brother contestants boasted of "telling it like it is, and if they don't like it it's their problem".

And I've known people IRL who profess this very philosophy in the pub.

Ooh, it makes me mad...

Oh, and that Lizzie Bardsley off Wife Swap
