Dept. of "Sometimes, you can annoy me enough to tell you the truth"

Me: Good evening, Bob's Weasel Washing
Caller: When are my movies due back?
Me: Uhm...this is Bob's Weasel washing. We wash weasels, we don't rent movies.
Caller: Is this 555-6666?
Me: No, this is 555-6699.
Caller: So this isn't Big Name Video Store?
Me: No, it's not.
Caller: But I need to know when my movies are due back.
Me: Tuesday, then. [hanging up]

Dept. of "And sometimes, you get the point before I have to do that."

Dear person IMing me on OKCupid,

"I'm rather busy" is not simply a philosophical statement. What it actually, in this particular instance, means is this: "I'm not ignoring you, but I don't really want to waste time trying to figure out what you mean, so get to the point or shut up."

Love,
Nhinxie

temptation.

I just snapped at someone who was very busy, simply because I was bitter and angry and mean, and wanted to see someone else-- for once-- trying to work while they're worried sick about something they did wrong.

I'm mostly ashamed of myself for that, because some very small part of me is rubbing its hands together in glee that it's my turn to be pissed off and someone else's turn to try to make up for it.

It's easy to love yourself, but not always to like what you did.
