Ahh...much better
Good idea... we all could go on and on about so many things... not enough space on this board for that
I found this thread very therapeutic, too. A great way to vent, to get things "off your chest" a bit.
It's amazing how many "pet peeves" everyone has in common and can agree with. I could post replies to almost every one here, but that would take too long, and turn into one helluva long post, lol

Very very true, Spartan II. I get made fun of (usually in good-natured-make-fun-of-the-nerd way) for my hobbies. Although, I'll even admit that one of them (modding nerf guns) pretty much says that I have no life. Other than that, they're just jealous of my cool armor making skillz.
Also good one on the ringing of the bell at the last stop. I dont ride mass transit very often, but that is something that would bother me.

9. The complexities of the female mind.

BOLD # 1: The way I see it, that sort of spiteful behaviour clearly stems from some sort of personal sense of inadequacy, that such people feel they are unable to overcome. So, that's the only manner in which they feel they can express it, and is the only way they can feel better about themselves; by bringing another down. Sad, really.
I mean, yeah... I've met many people throughout my life that could do this or that better than I can (especially see some of that around here, lol), but rather than get all in a "huff" about it and lash out with personal attacks or insults I instead find myself in awe of thier skills/abilities and even commend them for thier efforts.
Not only that, but I'm the type of person that doesn't get all down on myself and think "Gawd, I suck! I'm never going to be good at that!", and so seeing others' such accomplishments only inspires me to improve myself in what I do.
That's the sort of reaction a person should have to such things, not hate the other person for being able to do something better.
It all comes down to one's willingness for self-improvement, to become more than they are, using others' achievements as a guideline to better oneself. It should be nothing but a positive influence, imho.
BOLD # 2: Thanks, Lion. You have
no idea, lol.
BOLD # 3: Personally, I don't find that to be an annoyance or anything, really. If anything, I look at that as a welcome challenge, heh heh. I'd like to think I've become pretty good at understanding the female psyche, lol. They're not as "complex" as us guys tend to make them out to be. It just seems that way sometimes (many girls will even tell you that themselves).
