That only works if you have no life whatsoever.

On more serious note, that works if you have flexible friends and the group is small. If you try to organize a get together with a bigger group you have to do it like weeks in advance. In Holland even when kids play with each other it needs to be done like weeks in advance. Kids, have full schedules right now. Go to 4 different sports, have piano lessons and maybe if you have a hour free you play with your friends.

How easy it was when I was little. You just rang the door and asked if he wanted to play outside. No wonder people use facebook and twitter now, they are always busy and moving around. They don't get to spontaneously hang out and chill. They are always busy and on the road. Facebook and the smartphone is a tool to stay in touch when you are moving about. It is ironic that in a day that we are more connected than ever before, we are the loneliest we have ever been.

Also people that use their smartphones to be on facebook while physically being in a get together with other people, can die in a fire.

I agree, I am not talking about a big group, i am talking about one person.

But if we're talking people, I don't mix with arrogance, at all.  That means acting like you know more than you do, talking over me, or otherwise being a pretentious ass.

I have amazing tolerance for this. I just clam up and let them go, it makes them happy so be it.  Unless they start contradicting me, then I will debate.

I use the same strategy with women.

To take another approach to this than "these people", I hate smart phones.  People constantly looking at their phones at every opportunity.  Walking, in the elevator, in line at a store; basically anything where you have to have the unbearable wait of a whole 20 seconds.


But it's worst with people who are texting -- while they have friends in the same room.  Hey, there's somebody RIGHT HERE.  GIVE IT A REST.

When my bros with his first son, he spends more time on the iphone than paying attention to the kid. It's kinda sad but I don't say anything.

Whilst I'm on the subject of kids, I am getting a little pissed off with how often I have caught coughs and colds from them. They give whatever illness they have to you. I don't blame the kids, but the parents who show no kind of sympathy or concern when they infect you for the 50th time. And who insist you babysit when they know the kids have a virus and will pass it on.

I also can't stand it, if people can't commit on a date, because they are not sure. Jesus Christ how hard can it be?! Check your Agenda and if there is nothing planned, put that thing in there! Then if someone else wants to do something at that time, just say you have already something planned! It is not rocket science people. Do you expect us to wait until the last moment to know if you can make the date?

So what are your frustrations?

This sounds like my brother and a few friends....I fucking hate it too.

This sounds like my girlfriend.

And a few months ago I went to a concert, kids everywhere on their phones...at a concert. HELLO??? You're here to get away from it all for a few hours....

You know what is also really annoying? Girls/Moms/Sisters taking their boyfriends/sons/brothers to do stuff they don't want to do.

Don't take your boyfriend to see Twilight with you! Go with your girl friends. Forcing your boyfriend to watch Twilight with you is not romantic, it is sick. Only go to movies together if you both want to see the movie.

And guys, learn how to say 'no', you are not a doormat. If you are so desperate for pussy, go see a prostitute.

Don't take your bother/son/boyfriend shopping with you. He does not need to see all the stuff in each store twice. You like shopping, fine! Don't drag me into it. For me it is pure torture. I already know what to buy, don't drag me twice around the town so you can find a slightly cheaper deal somewhere else or find some colour that fits better with my eyes. My eyes are telling you I want to shoot myself, now leave me alone!
