Why do you have to say "Hi" every single freakin time you see me?!!

[BurnItDwn]

maybe they are just trying to be friendly?

ok u r not a jackass. u r just a guy with a severe case of mood swings, which if ur roommates don't know, u will come off as a jackass. btw, why do u have a problem with guys trying to be nice to u, where as if it was a hot chick, u'd be like "how YOU doin"? how do u make friends???

Theres no point in saying "Hi, how was your class" and then you respond "Okay" and then nothing after.

i guess u have problems in keeping a conversation... or it's just the mood swings kickin' in. but hey... if u r happy... more power to u. just letting u know that with ur posts in this thread, u sound like a jackass. of course i didn't mean to sound mean either.

 

[0roo0roo]

your gonna have fun if u ever work in an office then. do you say hi to a person you've already said hi to earlier when you walk by? hehehe

 

[Trezza]

you know he may have a point about it getting annoying, when I was commuting to school every day this troll asked me every single day how my drive was, what lanes was i in, how fast i went and what radio station i listened too. He was strange. that might be how this roomie guy is.

Where am I showing mood swings? Because I don't want to have meaningless small talk I have mood swings? And again, I'm a jackass because I don't like small talk? I'm so sorry I don't fit your social standard and how you think people should be like...

I'm so sorry we can't be friends... we should all be friends and talk to each other though right?

As for keeping a conversation. I did not initiate or continue ones that I don't care about. I can hold a conversation just fine if I cared to and was interested in what was being said. Should everyone pretend to care when they really dont? Since we're doing character assinations here, obviously you like to pretend to care.. don't you have a problem with lying or being fake?


I'm sure lots of younger people can relate when someone they haven't talked to in ages messages you with a "hey" and ask "how is school?". And then the conversation dies because they really didn't have any interest or a real conversation. Similar situation.

Keep up with the name calling though. You're getting better at it.

I know how you feel. I can't stand pointless smalltalk either.

I think all you guys are missing the point. It's like the Fight Club scene on the airplane where Norton Jr. asks Brad Pitt what he does for a job, and Pitt responds with (something along the lines of) do you really care?

You guys are taking is that he seems really personal about this issue, but it seems to me that Grimlock is just stating the obvious.

 

[bigalt]

small talk is a fact of life.

the thing you're really getting sick of the monotony of your responses. Try different ones, unless you just want to say 'okay' to everyone that asks you those questions for the rest of your life.

Or else take a dump on his pillow.

Politeness is one of many trappings we like to adorn ourselves with to maintain the illusion that we are not animals.

 

[BD2003]

Wow, I'd hate to have you as a roomate.

God forbid people are trying to be nice and talk with you.

 

[Luden]

Hi! How was class?

 

[Xionide]

[Mandrill]

Hi. What's up?

you need a nap ...

yeah you really do need a nap if you go to UCI ..

UCI has plenty of purdy girls to say hi too...

yeah. people need to pool together and make a website with people who attend their school.

Hell, I freakin live with you. We see each other every single freakin day for multiple hours. Each time you come back from class, I do not want to say "Hi" or "Hey" or anything to you.

I anticipate future significant other issues.

 

[iamme]

Just passin' through....


"Hi!"

 

[pyonir]

I'm not a big fan of pointless small talk either.

 

[iamwiz82]

hey

how was class?

 

[Mallow]

try not to make eye contact and they might be less likely to say something. Try and look really busy and in a rush.

Why do you people ask "How was class?"
Does it freakin change all of a sudden after weeks of attending it? lol.

How does one tell another to stop talking to me so much about nonsense w/o being mean?

And yes, I'm antisocial and I don't care. Don't tell me how to live my life, you're not my parents.

There is actually someone like that at my work. I stopped saying hi all the freakin time and now I think she's mad at me or maybe she thinks that I hate her or something. Its retarded. Sometimes I just won't say hi....
