The Hate Thread

[Mac the Janitor]

Oh DI, how I missed you, like the sun...of...the night...yes.

Glad to see you back.

[Disgruntled Intern]

Yes, gaze upon me.

I'd be lying if I said I was thrilled to be back, but the few members such as yourself almost make it worthwhile.

Jack Handey is a big bundle of sarcastic delight, is he not?

[Joe the Intern]

And so marks the return of a legend.

Oh, yeah... Hate things. Right.

Judas Priest, you really are disgruntled, aren't you? The point of this thread isn't just to express your frustration, but to comfort others, if I undertand it right. That... that post back there was more indicative of a total and ultimate ASSHOLE than any other post I have seen on this site. I don't usually just insult people like this, but god, you are a complete jackass.

[Mac the Janitor]

Davey may be a little harsh sometimes, but I respect his brutal honesty.

[TheRaisin]

I respect honesty, but the fact that he actually thinks that at all is what makes me think he is an absolute idiot and/or bunghole.

[Disgruntled Intern]

Call me what you will.

We're all entitled to our own opinions of each other.

[Joe the Intern]

Edit: Nevermind.

Leave Dave alone, or he whoop yo' ass.

ClaireBear, I think Mac is right. You shouldn't wait for him to say something. This is a bit hypocritical coming from me, but... you shouldn't let anything stand in the way of expressing your feelings, especially toward someone you love. You should just say it. But then, what do I know? Maybe I'm just being young and naive.

In a perfect world that would be great... the most obvious answer... but (no offence) when you're still at college/school the words "I love you" can trip off your tongue and its fine! After two weeks of "dating" if you don't tell your guy/girl you love them you're considered an out cast! (Thats how it was back in my day!)

When you're older (not necessarily more mature... I'm talking to you here lads! ) it becomes a bigger deal... to say it means you mean it and that means moving on... like seeing more of each other, living together, engagement!!!!

Saying it too early on can be just as bad as saying it later (and emotionally torturing your partner!) I don't want to scare my "Indianna Jones" away but then he has asked me to move in with him... but he hasn't... I want... he may not....

AAAARRRGH!

I hate this!... This is sooo the right thread for this!

EDIT:

The problem is that you think that it's a prerequisite after 6 months.

I actually don't think expressing your undying love and affection as a prerequisite... I simply believe after that time some form of clarification is in order!

As you get older (Ladies especially) the pressure is on to find Mr/Miss Right... spending too long with Mr/Miss Wrong is non-productive (especially if like my sex on legs beau... you're thirty *ahem... er....cough* something!

[Mac the Janitor]

Jesus.

More condescending age bullshit.

Just stop it already.

[ClaireBear]

I'm not the one with a problem about age Mac!

You're the only one who makes a fuss over this!

[Disgruntled Intern]

Mac has never been one to fuss over anything, dear.

Oh, wait. You're so much older than me. I meant to call you Ma'am. Honest mistake.

[TheRaisin]

Condescending age bullshit? That post was condescending? Please explain it to me, I'm not perceiving any condescension. She just gave her own completely reasonable opinion and views on the subject. It's not condescending if she's just giving her own perception of something.

By the way, please don't point out the condescending implications, that was sarcasm.

[Mac the Janitor]

By the way, please don't point out the condescending implications, that was sarcasm.

Thank god. I was about to bash you like nothing else.

[TheRaisin]

It's so hard to properly insinuate subtleties such as sarcasm into simple text, innit?

[Mac the Janitor]

It really is. That's my main gripe about the internet. Without tone or inflection, people always take what I say in the wrong way.

[TheRaisin]

That's why I've taken to implicitly stating those little nuances of speech. It might make it sound a little less natural, but it sure does clear up that confusion. A lack of sarcasm can greatly affect the way something is taken... ooh, the possibilities for disaster.

"Miss Bear" will do nicely thankyou... that or Goddess!

[TheRaisin]

Another thing I just thought of that I hate: guilt.

Miss Bear, do you have any new ideas about the situation? I would like to hear them.
