Things I keep telling people...

[joshuaayt]

All opinions are not equal. This one I cannot stress quite enough.

 

[smithy_2045]

I'm right and people should just accept that already.

 

[mParadox]

Stop using bad words in your sentences. Really. Not directed to the internet bu the way. But rather real life. :\

 

[Del-Toro]

A little thing. I'm editor of my school paper, and I have to keep reminding this new girl that "cuz" is not acceptable grammatically, and that if she absolutely positively has to use that, she is to use 'cause. She says it looks stupid, I tell her that her way looks even stupider.

"These are not the droids you're looking for."

 

[Something Amyss]

You and me both...

"When are you cutting your hair?" Not any time in the foreseeable future. That's mostly to family members that are not immediate. They don't get that I'm not and will not be "normal" to them ever.

Get a haircut you hippie!

And that's in no way hypocritical. >.>

 

[Legion]

There's a guy I work with that I frequently have to tell how and why stuff needs to get done. Although the reason he doesn't I imagine is more out of laziness than stupidity (although he isn't the brightest person I have met).

 

[SwimmingRock]

When I have trouble sleeping, if I tell someone they'll respond with, "Just try really hard."
Stupid gits.

Similar problem, except they keep telling me to go to bed sooner. Yeah, if I can't fall asleep at 4 am, going to bed at midnight is not going to bloody help.

Otherwise, telling my mother I don't want children. At least once a week, she'll ring me to nag about wanting grandchildren.
"When are you having kids?"
"Never."
"But they're so adorable."
"No, they're not. They're horrid noise-beasts."
"You'd feel different if they were your own."
"No, I wouldn't."
"Maybe you should just try it anyway."
"I am not bloody well 'trying' a life-long commitment I'm not interested in."
"Maybe you'll change your mind as you get older."
"Nope."

Funny thing is, she never asks my older brother for grandkids even though he's much more popular with women.

I keep telling people that nocturnalism exists in humans. I keep telling them most of these people are capable of high-functioning nocturnalism. They insist if you sleep during the day and stay up at night, there's either something wrong with you or you have no life.

I also keep telling people that I don't like drinking, because I get depressed when I have too much alcohol. Seems I'm wrong, I guess the problem is I'm not 'doing it right'.

EDIT:

Wow...absolutely spot on. Times and everything.

Dude, I have an entire THREAD about things I keep trying to tell people...
Also:
The Resident Evil games had great potential for storytelling, honest!
Siouxsie and the Banshees are not necessarily Goth! They're alternative...
Serenity Rose is one of the best supernatural/comedy/coming of age comics ever, and it was NOT done by the Invader Zim guy!

People should have the right to state their opinion without being hated.

For example:

Asshole: What kinda music you like?
Me: Rock, metal, you know that kinda thing.
Asshole: OMG WTF Y DUNT U LIEK MAINSTREEM???!1! I DON LIEK YU!!1
Me: Cool.

Pretty much this. I study animal management, and the welfare lectures I attend are horrid. Just because I see things differently to you, it doesn't give you the right to call me every name under the sun.

Perhaps if you listened to WHY I see things that way, you might learn something.

 

[Sneaky-Pie]

Your opinion doesn't matter next to mine.

 

[Super Toast]

I keep telling people not to worship me as a God. But do they listen? Nooooo....

I'm sorry master! Please don't strike me...

 

[TheTaco007]

I don't know why, but people are always appalled to find out how young I am, and make me tell other people. Why the fuck they can't use their own mouths is beyond me.

"Oh my god, really? I can't believe you're that young! Come over here and tell this person, because apparently I can't!"

Also that I'm an atheist. Lots of people just don't understand what that means. I've literally told someone I'm an atheist and their response was "Oh, so what church do you go to?"

I hate people sometimes...

 

[CouchCommando]

To anyone in my house hold over 40, "Don't touch the technology, it will die!"

 

[Cazza]

"I Don't Care" To many times have people I know want to tell me random crap. Always they never listen, the same thing happens every few days.

Asshole: What kinda music you like?
Me: Rock, metal, you know that kinda thing.
Asshole: OMG WTF Y DUNT U LIEK MAINSTREEM???!1! I DON LIEK YU!!1
Me: Cool.

That reminds me:
Person: "What kind of music do you like?"
Me: "Metal, mostly death metal and some black metal."
Person: "Do you like -insert really long screamo band name-?"
Me: "No, I don't like most new music."
Person: "Name a few death metal bands."
Me: "-Names a few-"
Person: "-Blank stare of confusion-"

I try to never take that discussion far because if someone doesn't know what death metal is I find that anything I say will be pointless, but it always goes back to the person asking me again a few times later on in life.

I have to keep telling people that a theory is the closest thing scientific proof, not just a guess......they never get it.

It was a Doctor that told me to "Try really hard to sleep" which pissed me off. No other suggestions, or even sleeping pills. No wonder our health care is free.

That's funny about your mum, I have to keep telling my mother I'm not pregnant.
"Ugh, I don't feel well today."
"OMG YOUR PREGNANT!!! Oh no!!!"
"No, I just have a little cold..."
Might be a hint that I have to lose weight though
