[Cantankerous]

the title speaks for itself.

i hate it when people call me for no reason ("just cause i was bored" or "i don't know" or "no reason"), just to talk or whatever when these people who call me know damn well that i hate talking on the phone, yet they insist on wasting my precious time (which i can do pretty well unassisted) and tying up my hands (and my phone line in case someone needs to call me for something important or worthwhile). I DO NOT EXIST FOR YOUR PERSONAL ENTERTAINMENT.

my new boss. he's old and corny, and is trying to change the way everything has been done for the past year. i hate change. especially the kind he wants... they don't pay us enough for that shit. imma slash his tires one of these days... maybe some sugar in his gas tank.

just...people without a backbone period.

Earlier this year I was getting tons of calls from this guy who had some kind of crush on me (the feeling was not mutual) and I would deliberately ignore them. When I checked my voicemail, it would say things like, "Hey Becky, this is [first name] [last name], I guess you left your phone in your car again because I've been trying to get ahold of you all day and you haven't picked up yet. [drawn out silence] I don't know what else to say....maybe you should keep your phone with you. [more silence] By the way, you are going to have a few more of these messages because this is my fifth one...I don't know why....I guess I was just bored. [deep sigh] Anyway, give me a call if you want to see a movie or something. Well I guess I'll hang up now. If you don't call me back I'll just see you tomorrow at school. Bye."

I've known this person since high school, and he still feels the need to identify himself by his first and last name? Pick one or the other for godssake.

And am I the only person who, when leaving someone a voicemail, does not feel the need to include their entire fucking life story? Seriously, an example:

"Hey, it's Becky, call me back."

[atsonicpark]

stuff.

[gmku]

Unreturned e-mails. Especially from people I know well, or are supposed to correspond with me regularly for official business. I myself have a 24-hour rule, where I return all e-mails within 24 hours, even if it's just to say, hey, got your note, can't answer yet but I'll get back to you.

I'm not talking about casual social e-mails or spam, but stuff regarding work or important personal business. It drives me nuts when editors I work for, for example, won't answer a simple inquiry about the detail of an assignment I'm working on, or an interview subject won't get back for days to set up an appointment.

I know many people don't work on their computers as much as I do during the day, and I know they're not just hanging around waiting for my messages. At the same time, in this day and age when electronic communication is so big a part of the business I'm in, it floors me when people don't respond in a reasonably timely manner.

I beg to differ. Where can I reach you? Let's explore this idea further.

I hate walking to the gas bar to find that the owner is there (I can't buy smokes if he is)

I hate when people keep asking me what I can't to do and I say that I honestly don't give a shit, that I'll do whatever and they continue to ask me. I don't fucking care man.
I just hate when people ask me the same question more than two times. Two times is okay cause sometimes people forget or can't hear.

I hate when people doing nothing tell me to get busy

My best friends boy friend pissed me off. They're just not good for each other at all anymore and I don't get why she stays with him. She even said she's only still with him because she doesn't want him to feel like a failure. He treats her like crap though.

I really hate when people expect me to call them all the time when they never call me. I have this one friend that I would probably never hang out with if I didn't call her. She doesn't not like me either, she's just half retarded or something.

I could go on and on...

[gmku]

I'm actually trying not to let the world piss me off anymore. I mean, sure, stuff's going to piss me off, there's always going to be stuff I don't like. But I've decided to adopt a cooler attitude about it. The stuff that's not supposed to happen happens; what happens next is up to me. I can accept it for what it is, deal with it calmly, and go on, or struggle and get stuck in it. Which is the saner attitude, do you think.

I hate that. Do you actually listen to you or do they ignore everything you say?
I had this friend once who wasn't happy in her relationship, and she'd always ask me, "Emma, what should I do?" When I finally told her what I thought she should do she got super pissed and told me to mind my own business haha.

you may find me running amok in manhattan, los angeles, stl, or manchester at any given time. i'd love to narrow it down for you but i fear for the safety of my records.

[Everyneurotic]

i always identify myself with both of my names, no matter if it's someone i've known my whole life. to paraphrase, if you go to have lunch with the lone ranger, you don't want him to say to you "just call me mike", you want to say "pass me the salt, lone ranger". i'm like that.

i'm pissed that i have been whacked on dex and antibiotics for like a week, haven't got a chance to do anything or care to do anything and that, when i get back to going out, smoking is going to be banned from all indoor places.

ohh yeah, tell me about it; "what the fuck? didn't we talked about this, you were going to do x" "yeah, but i can't really do that, so i'll stick to being miserable and ignore your advice".

but your friend is nuts, emmah.
