If there’s one thing which I cannot stand, it’s people who think they’re better than everyone else and just ignore you.
It’s not a perfect example, but when I’ve gone to talk to someone on Facebook just recently, I’ve sent a message just saying “Hi, how are you?”. This is in the live Facebook Chat function by the way. Some 2 hours later, the person goes offline without even saying anything. Yet checking their profile, I’ve spotted that they’ve still got time to post comments on status updates.
This is what really pisses me off and confuses me – how can just saying “Hello” be such a taboo these days? What is it about trying to start a conversation that some people just find so hard or so intimidating? And anyway, even if they weren’t able to talk at the time, would it not just be common courtesy to just say “Hi, sorry I can’t talk right now, message me later, OK?” That would be just fine! At least I know this person has actually acknowledged me and does want to talk, they just can’t at the moment. I haven’t got a problem with that.
What I can’t stand is arrogant so-and-so’s who think just by ignoring someone it’s perfectly OK and they can just get on with speaking to their regular friends. It’s rude and uncalled for. I don’t understand myself what is so wrong about trying to have a conversation with someone and getting to know them. It does make me wonder.
