Iām definitely looking forward to the rest of the album, just confused from the first song haha.
We received a misdelivered package about a week ago. I say to my partner āwe store it for 3 months and if no one claims it, then itās oursā; no protests.
Yesterday, she tells me she called the courier and told them about the package. Which I was okay with.
She then tells me to stick some printout she was emailed onto the box, black out any barcodes and then take the package to the post office.
WTF?!?! I was not happy. They stuffed up and now Iām using my resources and wasting my time - on a weekend, no less - waiting at the post office?
So I called the courier back and told them if they give me 24 hours notice, I will happily leave the parcel by my doorstep for them to pick up.
I then had an evening of discussing how I sometimes make my better half feel stupidā¦
One thing that pisses me off here is when someone whats to interject their 2 cents on a thread regarding a subject. Yes ,its a public form and everyone has the rite to have a opinion. But at times they might want to reconsider because there are times they probably shouldnāt and especially when they come across as insulting to others over it . Especially ā¦
- When they have no grasp of what the general underlying issue truly is and why people have formed their position regarding it.
2.When they truly arent experienced enough to have a actually educated and informed opinion regarding that subject.
I have had a few pet peeves for years. But my latest isā¦
when you are texting someone and they just stop. You were talking 5 seconds ago and now nothing. How long could it possibly take to say, bye, I got busy, got a phone call, later, Iām wiping my ass, jacking off, something?
Why is this acceptable when texting? Fuck that! Iām done. If you donāt have enough respect for me to end the conversation, you are not worth my time, and I will no longer waste any of it on you!

Im the worst offender. My wife gets so pissed. Iāll be at work and wham: 45 minute phone call or a union rep walks into my office. Next thing I know, there is a million missed calls and texts.

I have a no calls at work policy- If i come back to 2 or more missed calls, I instantly think itās an emergency and someone is in hospital.
The worst is when you see like 5 missed calls at the end of the day and think the worst. So call back with heart in your mouth and itās like ācan you get some milk on the way home?ā Gah! Send a text dammit!!!
I dunno, to me itās like hanging up the phone in the middle of a conversation. Youāre just left there waitingā¦ then itās like, okayā¦ I guess weāre done.
People want to be your friend but, I only want to talk when itās convenient for them. Thatās fine. Next time it wonāt be convenient for me to listen.
I feel like the point of texting is that you are sending something that isnāt an emergency and can be addressed when they get to it. If you want an immediate and complete conversation, call.

My mum does shit like that. We donāt talk very often, maybe monthly, but one day Iāll have like 5 missed calls and a text that just says something like āI need to talk to youā so Iāll phone her back thinking sheās been taken into hospital or some shit, and sheāll just be like āoh hey, was just wondering how you were.ā
Iām the person who pisses you off. I have a hard time with lengthy text conversations. In my defense I will say that Iām very clear about my disinterest in it to people who like to chat through text. I prefer it for brief exchanges - making plans, asking for or offering an update, that sort of thing (āspoke to Joe, heās interested in the ticketsā or āhey, do you know if Joe still has that trailer for sale?ā). Chatting is torture for me. Itās not fast-moving enough that I donāt get bored waiting for a response, and itās not slow enough that I can do something else enjoyably while waiting for someone to write back. It fucks with my ADHD in the worst possible way. I keep thinking weāre done and put the phone down and restart my movie, find my place in my book, or go back to cutting up veggies and then DING DING someone has another thing to say. Eventually I just put the phone down and get on with my life. Because saying ābye!ā when theyāre in the middle of saying something seems just as rude to me. āGotta watch TV now, bye!ā seems a strange thing to say in response to āSo why did Fredās neighbor cut his pipe?ā I may later say āsorry, such and such work thing happenedā if I dropped in the middle of making plans, but if itās just chit-chat I donāt really know how to escape unless to say āIf weāre going to talk about this, can we do it on the phone?ā
If you want to talk, call me. If you donāt want to talk and you have a lot to say, spit it all out in an email and Iāll write back and answer all points, but on my own schedule. With the phone or email, I can leave it and just call or write back later, but with text I donāt know that itās going to keep going and going and going when I answer ādid you find out when the training is?ā because I think itās just going to be a quick info exchange.
I would hate to think Iām pissing off my friends, but on the other hand I donāt want to be a slave to my phone or my friendsā desire to text while they watch something boring with their families, or whatever it is people do who want to chit-chat that way.
Um, what DO you do while youāre text-chatting? Just the texting alone, or tv along with it, orā¦what?

Itās just a personal pet peeve.
Your post came through to my email earlier, while I was shopping. Iāll just say I really am just talking about idle chit-chat, not āIām hurting, are you there?ā stuff. If itās a conversation about something, even if itās not a huge deal, I ask if I can call. I certainly value my friends and hope they know it.

Iām a text-chatter, too. In fact, I prefer texting over talking on the phone; I reckon I prefer reading to talking. I share your pain, CL. When texting with someone who isnāt at work or taking care of an obligation, Iād prefer an āI donāt like texting for long periods, nothing personalā to sudden, indeterminate silence. Not all people are comfortable being that straight-forward, though. I do have one friend, a busy cop, with whom a share a standing understanding that either of us can reply or not whenever we want. Itās actually liberating.

I think I am a pretty understanding person. I am very aware that shit happens. If it was a couple times, I would get it. But every time? Not so much.
If you donāt want to talk to me, thatās fine, just say so, or just donāt communicate with me.
Itās that simple.
