Does it bother you when a person HAS to have the LAST WORD?
:argh: I suppose it's either a personality defect or a kind of mental illness. Either way, it drives me fucking crazy. Since you KNOW they have to have the last word, I let 'em!

That, and a lack of reading comprehension skills also bothers the piss out of me too, while I am at it. A person can argue with you (always getting the last word), and moreover, NEVER UNDERSTOOD A DAMN THING YOU SAID.

Ah, that feels better. Off my chest, that is. B-)

2. *L* I'm with you,
when I know a person has to have the last word, I let 'em.

What really winds my crank is the lack of reading comprehension, sure, but I honestly think more people comprehend, but simply bypass a well-crafted paragraph to latch onto one or two words which could remotely give them the catalyst to a rant they really wanted to launch anyway.

Especially the part about latching on to one or two words.

Otherwise, who really cares.

18. Nope...
well... maybe

What I really hate is someone who says the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, ignoring every fact patiently explained to them.

That pisses me off.

29. What I can't stand is when people won't admit that they are wrong.
And I don't mean wrong in a sense, I mean actually stating facts incorrectly. Horribly incorrectly. Anyone know anybody like that. This disgusting quality bugs the crap out of me.

36. Did you know that Charlotte is the capital of my state?
So said a New Yorker as my friend was sitting in the Atlanta airport.
When I walked up, she asked me where I lived, I said Raleigh, she said, you mean the capital of NC?
I went, yeeeaah, why?

The guy just walked off (and she explained)
:D

34. if that 'word' is odd, strange, a further enhancement of chaos...
or perpetuates wanton hurt upon someone's sense of self worth i don't see how that can be allowed to stand. unless of course it has been uttered by progmom, jimmyjazz, or misunderestima-tor; it is then more likely time to simply bow before the absurd as the inclination may occur before a bag lady pushing a solid gold, ruby encrusted shopping cart filled with second hand ping-pong balls

:rofl:


why do you ask :shrug:

37. Yikes... if I didn't know better... I'd feel very insulted by that.
But I guess I know better than to take what you say personally, bridgit. Considering I don't understand half of it.

Given the potential range of "far less" I guess we are in the same group.
