People not responding but expecting you to know that they have heard you
Monday, September 5, 2011
Hi friends!
As you all probably know, I am pretty tops at complaining about things. So I thought, what is a better way to 'revive' this blog, than to complain about something?
Recently, the issue of 'People not responding but expecting you to know that they have heard you', has really really been getting on my nerves. Here I am, talking to them,
'Hey, can you hurry up a little? We're in a bit of a rush'
-no response-
'Hey, I said could you hurry up a litt-'
'GEEZ, I heard you the first time, OK!'
I mean really, how was I meant to know that he/she heard me? Not to mention, the unnecessary disparaging tone! Do they expect me to mind read? Do they expect me to decipher their body language? That somehow the way that they walked EVEN SLOWER upon me telling them to hurry up was cryptic for 'Yes, I heard you'. (By the way, I'm not passively hating on anyone, and this particular situation never really happened -just an example!)
Speaking of hating on people -
Looking at the way the grade above us came together nearing their graduation, has left me anticipating that SPARK that will somehow bring our grade together, that SPARK that will bring happiness, joy and other people's notes, that SPARK that has not yet appeared, even though there are only 3 weeks before we leave for good! I'm just hoping that most of the grade will turn up to variety night and participate in the finale, cos that would be really cool :)
Anyway, I have complained enough for one day, bye!
