Uncalled-for

"Uncalled-for" – Unerbeten, fehl am Platze sein.

Sometimes fellow human beings make uncalled-for remarks or bad jokes that can be very disappointing, hurtful or simply annoying. Try to live with a mantra in your life, and that is, to not simply swallow and not vent when somebody or something is irritating, frustrating or insulting. Do vent! Politely and to the point, sprinkle in some humor if you can and if you feel like it. Do it. Venting certainly does not come naturally to people who fall into the more quiet and less combative personality category. But nevertheless, work on it. Vent. It helps.
