Most people who aren't assholes won't press the issue if you say "I don't want to talk about it", and it's better to say than "nothing" because that invites further inquiry. And Ruki meant put up with the bugging people, not sad people.

Was that directed to me? :terrconf: It still applies to me, sad or buggy.

Welcome to my world, Wock. :bendy:

No, it was to Partymember, since he misconstrued the meaning of Ruki's post.

I believe Rukift meant that it bugs him when he sees someone mopey and he asks "whats wrong" and they say "nothing" when clearly something is wrong. Correct?

what does "put up with the bugging people" mean? I wasn't being aggressive, just trying to point out that it is just as annoying for people to ask you whats wrong over and over. Would you rather say, "my girlfriend left, i'm hungover, and my left arm is numb." or say, "nothing"?? Really, think about it.

I'd go with "nothing".

exactly

I always act happy even if I'm really upset, because I hate peoples' bleeding, overdone nosiness. If I don't talk about it, I don't want to talk about it. :P




Also, Piglet sucks.

I don't know why, but that made me laugh.

Oh, and while we're still on the subject of sad or upset-looking people, what really ticks me off is when people come up to me and say, "What's the matter?" or "Why are you sad?" Seriously, I'm NOT sad. It's not my fault that I either have a poker face or a perpetual frown. IT'S JUST THE WAY I LOOK. Do I have to be grinning eerily from ear to ear before people think I'm not sad? I sure hope not because smiling makes my mouth hurt.

You and me both.

BTW Partymember, Ruki's a girl.

People who tell lies :terrence:

That happens to me too; I also hear "You look tired," because I have permanent dark circles under my eyes. And you know what people say when I tell them that I'm not sad or tired, it's just the way my face looks naturally? "Maybe if you wore makeup." :o Screw that!!

I actually was listening to the morning show of my favorite radio station one day and the guys started telling the one girl that she looked kinda pissed off and grumpy, and it turned out that she looked "different" to them because for the first time since she started the show, she'd come to work without makeup, and therefore the guys found her to look...well you know, bad. Whatever. -_-

Earlier today I was in line at one of the local convenience stores. Ahead of me was a woman with a small child, around six years old. The child was trying to get her mother to buy a box of cereal (Fruity Pebbles, not that it matters), and the mother explained repeatedly, with increasing agitation, that they couldn't afford it. When she got to the register, she bought $30.00 worth of scratch-off lottery tickets. I'm sorry, I know it's none of my business and I don't know her situation, but that really rubbed me the wrong way.

Hah, that reminds me of this one woman who had enough money for a hardcover romance book but absolutely nothing for a Twix Bar. And they call ME miser. :\

Well, I dislike a lot of things, but I think I'll only explore a few of them for now. For one, I dislike rude people. I admit I'm not the nicest person in the world, but if we haven't even met for ten minutes, you have absolutely no reason to be ill-mannered towards me. I also hate making stupid mistakes and throwing away my time over something useless. I mean, life's to enjoy, not to waste. Seriously, if I didn't care about my time, my eyes would be glued to the TV (TV in moderation is fine, but watching over a half-day's worth of it is just being unproductive).

I didn?t mention much after, but those are some things that are ticking me off at the moment. I'm sure I'll end up with more in the long run. =)

I have something else I absolutely DESPISE!!! My brother (who's two years older than me but we're in the same algebra 2 class) will write down the homework assignment for that day, but all he does is open up his notebook to a random blank page and write it down, use nothing as a book marker and shut his notebook. 3 hours later when we're back at home, he'll come into my room and ask me what the assignment was! I'll say "But, I thought you wrote it down.", and he'll say "Yeah, but I forgot what page I wrote it on.", and I tell him "Then why don't you look for it yourself in your OWN notebook?", and he replies "Because I don't want to!", and then I'll start lecturing him on how he should be more responsible and pay attention to what he's doing, and I'll be saying it calmly, and he just blows up in my face for no reason!

Now, this is when I start to get irritated, and I tell him that he can go look in his own book, or he can just not do the assignment and get a zero. This is when he goes whining to mom that I won't show him my homework assignment; I explain my side of the story, even tell her that he has it written down SOMEWHERE in his notebook, and she responds saying she doesn't give a crap! That's the part that really ticks me off! Then we'll start arguing again, and when he knows I'm right, he'll go "Well, you know what? You need to be quiet and mind your own business!".

Psh, please! If I minded my own business, he'd be off in some remote location, lying dead in a gutter because he opened his big mouth to someone who just happened to be carrying a gun! :jk:

The truth is the woman CAN afford the cereal (especially when the individual ended up buying $30 worth of something you're not guaranteed to win), she chose not to buy it. I've seen many people say such nonsense, yet they are able to afford something more expensive. >:(

Oh yes, I know what you mean. My boyfriend works at a casino, so he sees it all the time... people gamble away their paychecks and tell their kids to hide in the car so nobody will see them. It is illegal to leave your kid like that, so they tell the kid to cover up with a blanket if they see any cops. It is absolutely pathetic. Also, my finance teacher worked at Wal*Mart for a side job, and she said that people would come by with diapers, formula, and cigs, and when they couldn't afford it, they'd put back the FORMULA AND DIAPERS instead of the cigs.

Some people..... GRRR!!!

They can afford to smoke, but not buy the essentials for the babies? Pathetic. :terrence:

That is appalling! >:( Poor little babies. :(

I wish CPS would take their child away. Can't afford cereal for the kid but can buy lottery tickets - total BS!:frankiemad:

Well it's not like they're buying a snickers bar for themselves. They obviously can't afford to smoke, they have no choice.

What ticks me off is some people on American Idol. Half of the contestants there just want to be on national TV. :jk:

I got another one. (Yes, I'm aware that ALOT of things tick me off!)
I HATE it when you're either reading or talking on your cell phone, and somebody just walks right up and starts talking to you, even though they KNOW you're busy! I remember when I was at some sort of social gathering somewhere, and I got a call from a friend I hadn't heard from in months, so I HAD to talk a while with her to catch up on things. Some girl I don't even TALK to comes up behind me and says in an EXTREMELY annoying tone, "Are you STILL talking on that cellphone?!", loud enough that my friend on the other line could hear her! AAAAAAUUUUGH!!!!... Whew, sorry! ^_^

When I work hard on a chapter in a story, upload it only to have it repalced as the most recent post by some other stupid 'episode idea'.

One of the things that ticks me off is math homework.

Hypocrites - 'nuff said!:frankiemad:

When people talk about a topic as if they're some kind of expert yet have little actual knowledge on the subject.

The big thing which ticks me off on the road is when people make a sudden right turn and either signal while turning, or after the turn. Are they signalling where they are going, or where they have just been?:frankiemad:

I thought of another one.

People who say they "hate to read". What? Maybe it's just because I'm such a bibliomaniac, but how can you hate to read? Is it that book reports in school have ruined reading for people?

Eh, I don't think so. My brother hates school all together, ESPECIALLY reading, and he hasn't ever had to do a book report!

well, we dont got book reports here, but something close to it. so yeah, thats why i hate reading, along with at least 8/10ths of my school.

what ticks me off? well, theres a million things i havent said yet, but theres also too many things i dont really feel like getting into. so illl just say that about 76% of humans annoy me. so many reasons why too.

Only 76%? I am annoyed by 90% of humans. I love mankind...it is PEOPLE I cannot stand!;)

oh, sorry. i put 76, not 96.

96% of the people annoy me. thats more accurate. because that 4% that doesnt are usually great friends and people in general.

I hate reading. It's just boring. I don't have the attention span for it. I like stories, I've come across a lot of good ones, but I wish they were movies instead of pages and pages of text because I just cannot cannot get through all that.

What ticks me off is people who cannot carry on a stimulating conversation; they either lack the vocabulary, or people skills to do so.:-X

...

I'm an introvert, I love reading, I hate small talk and can't stand being forced into social situations in person without warning(I prefer to socialize on the 'net).

I guess I'm a loser to you people. :(

Not in the slightest. I too tend to be somewhat introverted in social situations and I read almost anything I get my hands on. Neither is a negative trait in my view.

Voxxyn ~ I am also an avid reader. I usually read 3 novels per week. I don't believe this quality makes you a loser nor does having an introverted personality. Just be yourself! :bloogrin

Nicely stated Cassini! :)

Carlaz, nice segway into my next gripe: people who cannot be themselves!

No, not really. I'm a bit introverted, myself. Big deal. That doesn't make one a loser.
