rude, ignorant people
Feb. 15th, 2007 02:23 pmYou know if you click on someone's name on IM, give them a torrent of mundane, boring shit about your mundane, boring life for five minutes, ask them how they are, then ignore that and return to bitching about your miserable existence?
Then you reach the end of a tirade and say "I'm going now", and the other person says "oh... um, ok, seeya..." and then you just go without even bothering to say goodbye?
Just don't bother clicking my name in the first place, ok? I have no interest in conversation with you any more.
I have a near-infinite amount of time for people in general and my friends in particular, but it's a two-way street. If you don't care sufficiently to listen to one fucking second of what I have to say, and our last ten conversations can be easily characterised by what I just described, then we're not friends, I'm a stranger you talk at. Talk to a wall instead, it's how I feel replying to you, and it'll be the only thing left to listen soon.
Perhaps I'm just too much of a push-over or an easy ear, because I get this a fuck of a lot. I adore talking to people, I'm an extremely sociable and chatty person, cooped up in a house, coding all day. Have you any idea how astronomically antisocial you have to be for me to stop bothering to have conversations with you?
This would be One of Them Thar Cryptic posts (yeah, I have obviously just finished one such non-conversation) except it happens all the fucking time. People, open your fucking ears and for maybe five minutes a day, try shutting your fucking mouths and listening.
To me, ideally.
