Stupid shit that people tell you cant do.

I've had my mom tell me that my desire to become a published author (fantasy genre if you want to know) is just a hobby and I need to get a real job/career. I know that writing alone can't pay all of the bills, but the way she said it just sounded like she thought I was an idiot for wanting to pursue that dream.

Other than that, I can't really think of any time that I was told that I couldn't do something.

I've had the exact opposite myself.

I treat writing as a hobby, but my mum keeps picking things up and saying: you should totally get this published!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, mum, but it's about as well written as a Clive Cussler novel. -.-
Well, okay, perhaps not THAT bad.

OT: Not something I've tried, but people keep saying you can't sneeze with your eyes open. I've yet to understand why not...

 

[AlloAllo]

I've been told I can't like metal because I'm Italian.

FUCK. THOSE. PEOPLE.

Back in Vanilla my hardcore guild that I pve'd with wouldn't let me in their pvp group becuase they said girls couldn't pvp.

So I rolled a shadow priest on horde, levelled it and killed them all in BG's. When I logged back over for raid the GM jokingly kicked me out of guild for a while rofl.

I miss those days...

I also disguised myself as a guy when I was 12 to get into a man only church thing in venice, It was very pretty. :>

I can think of an instance in which someone told me I couldn't do/be something but I have said that to someone else.

Last night I was playing Gears 3 Execution and I kept getting torqued by this one player called xCx Diz I believe. He was a frickin' machine with that gun...err bow. He could kill people on command. Think you can run and hope he misses...haha, think again, he even scored a headshot on someone roadie running across the map with the thing. O_O I couldn't believe it so I sent him a message saying, "I don't know who or what the fuck you are but you can't be human." In good spirits mind you, I was annoyed at first but in the end I was very impressed.

I was told once that I couldn't celebrate Halloween becasue I celebrate Christmas too. People are silly. It amuses me when they think they know what they are talking about.

I've been told that I can't be a gamer because I'm a girl. I've been told that I can't know anything about computers because I'm a girl. I've been told that I can't understand or enjoy sports because I'm a girl. I hear a lot of crap because of my gender, which has given me a sick joy in smashing expectations.

I've also been told I couldn't be any good at distance running because I'm not built the way a distance runner should be, with the long legs and freakishly emaciated frame. I'm slender, but I also look, y'know, healthy, so I obviously couldn't run distance well. I proved that wrong as well.

 

[Lesd3vil]

Ive ben told by a good amount of people I cant free run and thats fine, considering the ones that tell me that cant do it too well either, especially when I fire a hockey puck at them and see if they can dodge it.

...

other thent hat im told a lot Im not supposed to associate with other religions special days cause Im not part of that religion.

I've also been told I cant beat a train, but we all saw who won that battle TOM!

...

Just an FYI, Tom is missing both his legs from half way between his knees and his hips down because he had his legs cut off playing a game of chicken with it. Which he lost by the way, in case that wasnt obvious. I was the winner that night, and there was quite a lot of laughing and merriment to be had at his expense.

That's terrible :| your friend got his legs cut off by a train? And all you can do is crack jokes about it? I thought I was sociopathic :|

 

[JochemDude]

People told me I couldn't last a weekend moshpitt'ing at a metal festival while barefooted. Boy did I prove them wrong.

 

[Cpu46]

Well I wasn't quite told this but my dad took me out on my grandfathers hunting land when I was 10 or 11 with a pellet gun thinking "He's not going to hit anything" we came back with a freshly killed partridge within the hour. I believe the look on my grandfathers face was one of both pride and horror (I was well under the legal hunting age and partridge wasn't in season for another week or so)

well its not like i didnt call the ambulance first. But sitting there just shouting at him about how his legs were gone wasnt going to help. Might as well keep him laughing while we waited. God knows his life was gonna be different.

Besides, im his friend, one of his really close ones. its what I do to my really close friends and what they do to me. We're all great and loyal to each other when we the time calls for it.

They also told me I couldn't jump from a 4 meter's high building without breaking my feet. I won 5 euros and all I broke was me knee! Suckers!

I found that very amusing, four metres... I've jumped from higher than that without injury. Unless my mental image of a metre is wrong.

About 3 times the hight of the average human female.

I love how I say one comment about ponies and I get lumped in with the "Crazy Lunatic Brony Fanbase." I would have chosen "Placeholder" as my name but apparently someone already has it. That person also stole my fucking name. Bastard. Anyway *cool pose* Deal with it!

I know it's sort of past-date because you've been banned (seemingly entirely at random, after checking out the link...), but all the same: Well, you HAVE chosen an MLP-identifying username, put one of the new style ponies as your avatar, and have come in here talking about it. That's three strikes as far as I'm concerned.

(I will admit to acting somewhat paranoid around the subject, but that's only because it seems to currently be infesting every aspect of popular culture, much like Lady Gaga did last year; it seems rather unnatural, like there's some kind of subliminal hypnosis in the material of the show itself. Almost everyone who self identifies as a fan seems to do so obsessively, like the upper tier of otaku would with anime...)

Lol... 3.3 surely.

Them: It's impossible to lick your elbow!
Me: No it's not *proceeds to lick my elbow*
Them: No you're doing it wrong.
Me:....

 

[krazykidd]

I was told i couldn't eat my cake and have it too ...
Manly tears were cried that day
