Re: Social pet peeves

[dancingmouse]

When I'm obviously trying to be left alone, doing the whole avoiding people, putting headphones on, sticking my nose in a book spiel, and yet people STILL approach and try to strike up a conversation. Look, I don't know if you're talking to me because I "looked lonely" or something, but seriously, I do NOT want to talk, hence why I was over here.

People talking on cell phones, especially when you're trying to wait on them. I don't care about your gossip, shut the hell up and get off your phone for five minutes so I can get you the hell away from my counter.

When you're trying to explain something to someone, and they just give you some variation of the "Mm-hmm, that's nice, dear. I'll fix the blender in the morning" response. Then they get mad or confused because "no one explained it!" Maybe if you took your head out of your ass when I was EXPLAINING it, you would know.

Uggghh, I hate it when people don't understand that just because they would feel a certain way in a given situation, that does not mean that eveyone else would, or that their emotion is "normal" and a different response is weird or unhealthy. (E: this is a tangential response to your first point -- I'm assuming people think you look lonely because they would be lonely)

I had a flashback to a party my best friend dragged me to at one of her classmates' house when she had just started grad school. (For her PhD in Philosophy, and let me tell you, being around a bunch of drunk awkward Philosophy grad students is not necessarily as hilarious as it might seem.) The host lived with a bunch of other grad students in other departments and some of them had joined the party but at least one of them had not and was staying in his room. (Neither my friend nor I knew any of these people, btw.). My friend insisted I come with her and knock on the door of the student in his room and get him to join the party, because he ~clearly~ felt left out and ignored. I was like, "He ~clearly~ has the ability to leave his room and join in if he wanted to.. Maybe he doesn't want to? Can you imagine that?" Of course not, so she knocked on his door until he answered it, and it was as awkward an encounter as you'd imagine, and of course she didn't learn any lesson on true empathy vs. projection, and it was so embarrassing. /csb
