Anyway, don’t know why I threw that in at this point. Supposedly the phrase comes from Barbara Streisand’s Funny Girl.
And this is coming from me, the person who prides herself on being fair. This may not be popular to say, but some people deserve it. These pithy saying and affirmations assume that the people who rain on parades are mean or doing it without just cause. Of course, I have seen the affirmation memes of turning someone’s rain into a rainbow or to poke the person raining on your parade with your umbrella (who comes up with these things?).
But then I see the smiles turn into friend and I feel sad or perhaps pity for them. Thus, if I catch a humblebrag I’m quick on the draw. They are the worse and deserve a bit of rain to dampen their heightened, over-inflated ego.Īs a New Yorker I was born with the snark DNA. Usually I like to rain on the parade of humblebraggers. But yes, sometimes I relish preventing someone from enjoying an event. And then a few seconds afterwards (maybe hours) I feel badly about it. But now I will share with you that occasionally I delight in raining on someone’s parade. Well, of course it should as I fill out myself about myself. For I feel for a moment it captures me well. I’ve taken the Myers Briggs and for a few seconds before I become my jaded yet optimistic self (go figure), I delight in my Myers Briggs scores. But I’ll leave that particular rant for another day. Have you ever taken one of those Myers Briggs test? They are everywhere and often so misused.
It’s a key element of how I live my life and how I describe myself. I take great pride in my sense of fairness and justice. I really try my best to remain calm, cool and collected with a sprinkling of good humor and snark.
