In which I use my blog as my preferred medium to rant through

(Cos I’m too passive-aggressive to confront issues properly in real life)

--------------

I think of myself as generally a nice person, who doesn’t like to hurt other’s feelings, and therefore has trouble letting them know when they are irritating me.

So a recent morning, I was talking to a guy on facebook, someone that I don’t really know all that well, and I told him, I was hungover, had a big night out, and lost my wallet. Clearly, one would think I was kinda in a grumpy mood? But anyway, he decides to call me.

And make fun of me for losing my wallet, then pester me about whether I was hit on or hooked up with anyone… none of which I was really amused with, and chose to respond with incoherent whiney mumbling rather than words. Not very mature of me, or polite.

Why did it annoy me so much?

Firstly, yes. I do a lot of stuff that warrants me being made fun of… spilling stuff, being clumsy, losing stuff… etc.. so I don’t mind being made fun of by my friends… BY MY FRIENDS being the operative part of that sentence. Not random people who feel that they know me just cos we’re facebook friends.

Secondly, I resent the fact that so much emphasis is placed on my having a good night out being based on how much male attention I receive. The reason I go out is primarily to hang out with my friends, and I really resent being thought of as someone whose sole purpose in socialising is to pull.

Anyway, He picked up on my subtle nuances that I wasn’t in the mood to talk to him and ended the call rather annoyed at me…

Leaving me feeling like a bitch.

So next facebook chat, I apologised:

Chi: sorry about being a bitch yesterday
it was too early in the day

facebook "friend": u sure were
lol
u hv to get get laid so u would nt be grumpy anymore
lol

Chi: right

facebook "friend": kewl

Chi: lol have i?

facebook "friend": u certaimly hv

Chi: ... i just didn't really find it all that amusing, so thought that was the best way to respond.

facebook "friend": ok ok
im off to bed


Which leads onto another rant: why do some males say dickish things, and then when the female doesn’t react in the desired manner, they act like the problem is the female?

Eugh. & I also dislike people who write “kewl”.
