How did you even come to that conclusion? I don't consider myself a loser and I'm like that... well, I'm fairly good at talking to people, but when I don't have new things to read, I read things I've already read multiple times. I read Memoirs of a Geisha in like 2 days.

Here is another one:

When people drink out of your juice pitcher (like Kool Aid), and leave only a swallow left.

SkittleMonkey · 01-24-2007, 06:38 PM

Ugh, that's what my oldest brother does! Then he just expects people to drink it after he's put his mouth all over the opening of the pitcher!

Sparky · 01-24-2007, 06:47 PM

My dad would do that sort of thing (leaving only a little bit, not putting his mouth on the container

). But that would annoy everyone, because sometimes you'd see a container in the fridge/freezer and assume it has at LEAST one serving in it; then you open it and there's like, half a cookie, or five cornflakes, or a teaspoon of ice cream. What's the point?? He always said that he didn't feel guilty about finishing something off if he left a tiny bit. But it was SO annoying!

*shifty eyes* My mom always tells me, "Don't eat all the cookies!" So I eat all but one.

Hey hey hey, you're no loser. What's wrong with getting lost in a book? It's an awesome way to enjoy yourself.

And not liking social situations? Nothing wrong with that (in my opinion, at least). I'm pretty much a loner. I fear social gatherings and hate going to parties. Way back when kids still invited me to their birthday parties, my mom would RSVP for me without my consent.
I'm afraid of talking to people on the telephone, too.

I'm sort of that way, because I'm always afraid of sounding really stupid, especially when leaving a message. Bah.

scary_dream · 01-24-2007, 09:31 PM

I dislike talking on the tele because usually whoever I'm talking with and I don't have much to say, and we end up listening to eachother breathe. I'm also kind of an anti-social person... I'm not really that way by choice, I just get along with VERY few people. I wish I were more accepting, but I tend to get annoyed very quickly.

It's a bad thing.

I'm SEVERELY angered creepy guys who won't get the message. I'm sure there are nice guys everywhere, but the it seems only the creepy ones hit on me. Even after I tell them I have a boyfriend, they still accost me! I'm flattered, yes, but OMG just let me shop!!

I even brought my boyfriend into the store with me once and they accosted BOTH of us, telling him "She's so pretty, you'd better take care of her." Or what?! And what business is it of theirs to be telling him what to do just because they think I'm pretty!? ARGGGG!!!!!

Howard · 01-25-2007, 09:23 AM

Oooh! I HATE the phone! To me it is a tool to conduct business. You call me - state your business, and know what you want; I don't need a story of the subject at hand. Don't take 5 minutes on a 10 second explanation.

Jabberwocky · 01-25-2007, 11:52 AM

I hate the phone too. I like talking to people in person.

On that note, I hate instantmessaging/chats, because it can be really hard to pick up on tone, or people will type stuff that wouldn't be nearly as interesting or funny as if they said it to your face. Two of my friends got together and then broke up over AIM and it's like... um, you don't have the balls to say it out loud? What is THAT? It seems so cold and impersonal.

And then :] there's ^_^ the people who o_O abuse *3* the privledge of :[ -_- :V ;] :O EMOTICONS. AHHH!! They probably turn their head sideways when they smile at you in real life.

I know that scenario all too well.

This probably sounds really mean of me, but I think I'm afraid of the phone because a classmate of mine used to call me everyday and talk for hours and hours and hours. Then one day she invited me to go see a movie with her and a couple of other friends, but I told her I couldn't go because I would be gone the whole day. But she called the house anyway and left so many messages on the answering machine that it broke.

I hate it when people stare at me, and I don't mean staring as in when people watch you perform or give a presentation.
