    I don't do nagging, because my mum used to do it to me with zero effect. Well, that's not completely true. She got me stressed, but I still didn't do what she nagged me about. :p

    Yeah, I've got this thing where if I feel someones starting to nag me about something I will go out of my way to not do it even if it's something I was planning on/was in the midst of doing already.

    Nagging is bad, but the silent treatment is worse:

    "What's wrong honey?"
    "..."
    "If you don't tell me, then I can't help"
    "I'M FINE"
    :wtf:

    In an hour she's gonna be really angry because "you didn't do anything to fix it!" And not even God knows what she's talking about.

    I can see how it might help, but what if she's still cross when you get home...??

    People who complain about free cookies and candy at work. If you don't want to eat, don't fucking eat! Don't make a big scene about it every fuvkin day!

    And yes, they always end up eating it anyway, but now they've ruined any pleasure their co-workers could've had from their break.

    That sounds quite obnoxious.

    The woman sitting opposite me at work brings in sweets for everyone to enjoy. You would be amazed how many people don't say a single word to her, while they're taking them.

    It shouldn't annoy me, because it's nothing to do with me. But totally obnoxious.

    Yeah, I am naturally stubborn anyway, so if you nag me over something, that shit is going way down on my to do list.

    You've reminded me that I do want to do one of those some day. I have a suspicion that there is celtic blood in my family, but I'm curious to know for sure.

    I'm Celtic on my father's side, basically everything else on my mother's side. My family are the mutts to end all mutts


    Somehow I am the only person in the house who has managed to NOT touch the EXPOSED WIRING of my aunt's MacGyvered light switch that doesn't even do anything!

    I've confessed this before, but I have an out of control aversion to hearing the sound of pencils marking on things. I have to attribute it to my synesthesia since I have no actual idea what else could be causing it.

    The other day I unexpectedly heard the dreaded sound from an online video, and it just unstrings every nerve in my system to hear it, and sets me in quite the mood; it's awful!

    You don't want to come to my house then. I recently converted to pencils. :p
    My reasoning is that they are cheaper, less messy, and erasable.

    I'm not saying you're correct and I'm not saying this is the real reason why I'm desperately trying to escape Sweden...

    The US space program spent some million of dollars to make a pen that would work in space. The russians- they used a pencil.

    It's a strange affliction I have, for certain. I like to draw, so if I have to use pencils, I throw on the headphones and blast the music, lol!

    Umm, sorry, but this story is something that annoys me as it's not true for a number of reasons. The main one is that graphite is a great conductor, so shavings from pencils will short out your electronics when left to float in the breeze of the air circulator, but there's even more detailed in this i09 article.
