Rant Thursday

DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE? I'LL TELL YOU (PS THIS WHOLE ENTRY WILL BE IN CAPITALS BECAUSE I HATE THIS THING SO MUCH AND BECAUSE I AM JUST OVERALL CRANKY RIGHT NOW)

I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE FEEL THAT THEY NEED TO MAKE NOISE WHEN A STORY IS BEING TOLD. WHEN THEY'RE ALWAYS LIKE GASPING OR EXCLAIMING THINGS LIKE "WOW" AND "YOU'RE KIDDING" AND ANNOYING THINGS LIKE THAT. WHAT IS SO HARD ABOUT SITTING AND LISTENING QUIETLY WITH YOUR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS TRANSMITTING YOUR SILENT EMOTIONS? YOU ARE CERTAINLY NOT MAKING THINGS ANY MORE ENJOYABLE FOR THE SPEAKER OR THE OTHER PEOPLE LISTENING.

THE ONLY THING ACCEPTABLE IS LAUGHING, AND ONLY IF SOMETHING'S LEGITIMATELY FUNNY, NOT JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT. IT'S SO ANNOYING. I'LL WRITE OUT AN EXAMPLE.

SPEAKER: SO I WENT TO THE MALL THE OTHER DAY
LISTENER: OH YEAH?
SPEAKER: UM, YEAH, AND I SAW MY FRIEND KATIE
LISTENER: UH-HUHHH
SPEAKER: AND SHE'S SHAVED HER HEAD
LISTENER: *GASP* NO WAYYY!!!
SPEAKER: YEAH, SHE LOOKS LIKE HOWIE MANDEL
LISTENER: HA!
SPEAKER: I WAS LIKE "HEY KATIE"-
LISTENER: HA!
SPEAKER: -AND SHE ACTED LIKE SHE DIDN'T KNOW ME
LISTENER: *GASPS* WEIRD.

THE CONVERSATION DOES NOT PROCEED FROM HERE BECAUSE IT TURNS OUT THE SPEAKER HAS IN FACT MURDERED THE LISTENER WITH A PHONE CORD.

GRANTED, THE HYPOTHETICAL CONVERSATION WAS KIND OF A SNOOZER, BUT COMMON COURTESY IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED!

GAHD.

RENEE OUT.
