Dear Everyone
I'm sorry I have no time for you or your problems any longer. I am tiring of being burdened with all of your shite and expected to deal with it all for you. I get no reprieve, I get no help, I get no sympathy. I just sit back and watch as everyone tucks into the feast while I'm running around serving.

If you have no time for my answer when you say "How are you?" stop asking.

I have my own things to worry about now, and they are my priorities. I'm sorry I'm ooot.

Onwards and upwards!

Ta ta fuckwits!

Clicking this
because I'm sick and fucking tired of the lack of manners of the general population.

When I say, "Good morning", I expect a response, not a grunt. What are you, 13?

When I ask how you are, I expect a response somewhere around "Good thanks", "Been better" and "Not great" etc etc, followed by the same back. If you have problems and are not ok, or have done something exciting, please feel free to mention this also - I don't consider it bad form to not be properly English about this.

When you ask a question, I will respond. If your question was one born of confusion and I enlighten you, some kind of expression of gratitude would be welcome. "Cheers" or "Ah, cool, thanks for that" would be acceptable. When I need something similar, I don't expect to have to ask the room at large three times and then / or address it to a specific person and then cajole them into answering. Eye contact here would be a useful indication that you heard me, and an appropriate response to my cajoling is not "Yeahyeahyeah".

When I ask you to do something and you agree, I do not expect to ask you several times if you have done it, and on the third time be disagreed with about whether it is the right thing to do, followed by a game of tennis whereby you attempt to get me to agree to do it without actually outright asking me. If you don't have time to do it, tell me and ask me to do it. I'll probably do it. Keep going with the first way and it wont get done.

Doing or not doing these things strongly implies, to me at least, that you either have the social skills of a diarrhetic baboon, or you hold me in complete contempt. Given that you very occasionally surprise me with some manners when you've had enough coffee or when you need something, I suspect it is the former.

But either way, don't be so fucking miffed when I can't be arsed to talk to you any more.

Thanks.

/Edit - decided that was my entry - cheers for inspiring me :-)

Brilliant!
This sums up my post with more dexterity than I could have given. It's tiring isn't it?
