I have a "friend"- well, I consider her a friend, but she's kind-of not. She is extremely busy, and she only calls me when she needs me to do something (fill-in for her at work). Only then am I invited into her exclusive sphere. I know several people wo are like this. There's a guy at work who never gives me the time of day, unless he needs something edited. It's not part of my job to edit for every damned person in my dept., and I don't get any gratitude for doing it. It's like users expect you to service them. I wonder if they are even aware of their behavior.

Anyway, what irks you?

COMPULSIVE LYING drives me nuts.
I have a bad habit of exaggerating, which I prefer to call "adding colour"
to my stories. 'White lies,' I kind of have a grasp of, but the lying for no
discernable reason is just out-of-bounds.

I dislike people asking me open-ended questions designed to get me to reveal myself: If you were a door, what kind of door would you be?

Yeah... That one shits me... Especially the "Questions Game."

What the hell is that all about?

I've got no problems with someone asking questions that are relevant in the flow of a normal conversation- But just asking them for the sake of asking them.

Take your guitar and stick it up your butt hippy psychologist.

The Attention seeker

This person never initiates anything socially, has no innovation or interesting conversation. They appear too cool, never start their own conversations.
yet they will but into every conversation or interraction happening and then try and direct it towards them, dominate it or bore people into giving them all the attention.
Is usually a plagiarist: usually copying others ideas. often heard repeating others jokes from a day or so before.

oh yeah..one more in korea: the wayguk chauvinist

this person is polite at first, yet after a few months in korea realises they can get away with treating women badly, as its Korea. bar staff, waitresses, and even occasionally co workers bear the brunt of this new realisation of male dominance.
After a year or so he is practically an ajosshi on steroids and well known at every barber shop and massage parlour around.

I dislike people in general. Everything anyone does annoys me. I'm going to become a forest animal. You can do that, right? It's just like converting to a different religion, isn't it? If so, I will soon be a tree frog. Make that a Hindu tree frog. Sweet.

I hate the way tree frogs taste bad to birds. Like they have some poison in them or something. They should be more delicious.

When I become the president of Treefrogland (aka Quebec), I'll make de-venoming (is that a word? It is now) tree frogs my number one priority, you can bet. I'll also make sure Chicago and Pat Benatar records are played around the clock.

My goal as a new form of species is to accomodate the wants and needs of all creatures. Just don't eat me, okay? Deal?

I don't like fat people. Especially when they say "I can't help it, it's my [genes/glands/neuroses]."
