Pet peeves.

I've never been to the airport or on a plane.. Anyone want me to come visit them???

 

imagine how fast you'd be moving if you walked as fast as you could on one of those things! ZOOOOOM

 

it's awesome til you get to the end and step off. you practically fall on your face.

 

I lived right next to an airport for a year.. hmm
never been up tho

 

when I yawn and tears come out

 

Serious small talk.

 

When people actually say stuff like "cba tbh" out loud. Its ok for typing but speaking??!!!

 

that made me think of that seriously stupid commercial
grandma..mom.. and two girls playing scrabble talking text talk... yup there's a pet peeve!

 

What's cba and tbh..?

 

funny, i have a pet peeve of people who stare at others on the bus, or constantly look then look away at someone
i have music on and im going to crappy school or work, i dont want to converse, im enjoying the stories in my head so stop staring like i just killed your mother or somethign (not 'you' praxis, just a generalized you)

 

Yeah, you pretty much strike me as opposite in disposition to myself.

I'm not even remotely talking about staring, but that's what comes to mind for you.

 

conversation on a bus usually begins with eye contact etc. hell, i think you even mentioned eye contact. i only really notice it on the bus because, well, someone ends up staring. milder eye contact i dont notice because im busy with whats going on in my head. bus time is my private time to zone out some, i like it that way. i get to think up stories.

 

I try not to make eye contact on the train because you never know when a pleasant smile will be misconstrued as "Yes, I would like to have a creepy-ass conversation with you about 'Too bad I'm married' or Jesus or something".

But I do, Praxtastic, hate loud breathing. And even more: eating noises are a major issue for me. Oh God, chewing with the mouth open. Kill me.

 

Molly, Allonym: It's also a gendered thing. You guys need to put up defenses, I guess.


I do the same with gay guys.

But I do laugh at women who assume I want to talk to them simply because of fleeting eye contact. Hehe...Giving yourselves a lot of credit there, ladies?

Molly: What is not gendered is chewing with your mouth open. Unacceptable!

 

Praxtastic?

lol. Molly is officially the best flirter on the board.

 

Ha...thanks, but just off the top of my head Lode, Cate, Bocks and Scarlett are all better.

I do think it's a gendered thing. After then 80th creepy conversation, girls just learn to keep their eyes down. It's a shame that the 99% of men who are total desperate horndog pervs had to ruin it for the one guy who isn't (Gandhi), but them's the breaks.

 

There is another perspective on this actually.

I'm convinced girls who act stand-offish get harassed more often than girls who are open and welcoming. Regardless of attractiveness level. Seen it plenty of times.

I notice with gay dudes, there is nothing more disconcerting for them than when I act normal towards them --- neither homophobic/creeped out, nor consenting.

Just give 'em a pound, a punch on the shoulder, and go "Sorry dude, wish I was gay but it so happens I have to put up with the weaker sex."

Laugh and keep it moving.

In a way stand-offishness is an act of provocation. I know you're going to say it's not, but we'll have to agree to disagree.

P.S. You're a better flirter than the others. lol

 

Here's another pet peeve. BIG with me:


People who call, don't leave a message and call right back. They can go fuck themselves and I can be a screener if I so choose. Thank you very much.

 

i do that almost never.

but i dont leave messages, its true. i also dont listen to mine.

i absolutely DISPISE voicemail with every fiber of my being. its the bane of my existance.

nothing annoys me more than voicemail.

but i almost never call right back. i call back after a bit.

 

I hate phones period... And I hate talking on them even more...
People who continually call over and over annoys me some, but thats when I just turn off the ringer or just answer it and say no and then hang it up...
