Re: Medusa's Question Du Jour *the millenium edition!*
In spite of being thought of as antisocial, I like people and it's hard to make me really dislike someone. However, it's easy to piss me off if you:
- Are frequently negative toward others: Make derogatory comments behind others' backs and so forth.
- Always have something to bitch about. Relax once in a while, would ya?
- Constantly lie and make up tall tales for no good reason. Is your life so boring that you have to make up bogus stories?
- Lack manners. So many people apparently were not taught "please and thank you." Also, don't interrupt me while I'm speaking.
- Are a picky eater. Anyone who has the privilege of opening a stocked fridge or going to a restaurant should be grateful that they have food to eat, not quibbling over thin crust or pan.
- Have bad hygiene. There is no excuse in this day and age, unless you are homeless and bankrupt, to neglect soap and toothpaste.
- Have extremely poor domestic habits. Clutter and shabby-chic are one thing, and if I'm visiting you it's because I wanted to see you and not your house, but if my surroundings make me worry about contracting ringworm, there is a problem.
- Make judgements about my appearance and other choices. Questions are fine, but I don't need to be constantly reminded of what you don't like about me, especially when those things are what I consider to be important components of my life. Don't like my beard? Don't touch it. Don't like the fact that I dip tobacco? Don't kiss me.
- Constantly talk or text on your phone, especially if we are having a conversation.
There are more, I'm sure, but that's all I can extract at the moment.
