i really don't like most of them. When i was in highschool/college there weren't many people that i didn't like, maybe two or three people in the whole world. but now I'm like- that person is an a-hole, that person is an idiot, gosh i don't want to hang out with that person again. What gives? I'm guessing this is a normal occurrence the older you get and I'm not some kind of outlier crotchety weirdo but not sure why this is. thoughts?
-
Just your typical elitist cop attitude. Sad really.
-
These types of people drive me nuts:
1. Act like they are awesome
2. Act like they know everything
3. Talk about other people when they aren't around (especially if I don't consider the person talking to me to be a very close friend)
Otherwise, I love people. Rick, I think I would like you, but maybe you wouldn't even give me a chance at this point in your old crotchety life.
-
What I've noticed the older I've gotten is I have absolutely no desire to meet anyone new. I don't like getting old, it's stupid :don'tcare:
-
i have some feelings and some are similar and some are very different
-
mostly very different
maybe its time for you guys to retake your MBTI's?
-
i really think it's an age thing. Come back to this thread in ten years, puni.
-
Pffft like this site will exist in another 5 years.
-
i think i feel exactly like daris but even angrier and more stressed when I am in dillon's
-
I like and get along with most people. :dunno:
-

I get along with most people, but internally I'm kinda "meh" about it all.

Ricky d, I dislike people for very minor reasons and I'm very fine with that.
-
ive noticed that i hate more people than i should. i blame this board
-
I think its more related to having children than age.
-
Time. It takes more effort when you have less time. When you have less time, who wants to put in that much effort? Ugh.

Actually some really great points ITT.

What? Are you saying people with children hate more or fewer people than people without children? Or just that people hate people who have children?
-
i mean seriously though. If i met me i wouldn't even want to hang out with me and I'm a pretty decent person. It'd be like uh no kinda weird.

Oh def. I already bug the hell out of myself, I have no idea how other people put up with me. Would not friend
-
I don't especially like most people, but I hate very very few people. 90% fall within a gray area.
-
two peopley things that are kind of connected-
-i wish people were more self-aware
-i wish people would not walk around looking down at their phones all of the time
-
one time this kid that was a year older than me that I really didn't know very well despite us being from the same small town died in a car accident and I wasn't really sad. I empathized with his family and stuff but didn't cry or anything despite literally everyone else at school crying about it openly. felt bad about not being sad. thought maybe I was a sociopath for awhile but realized that I get really sad about other people having bad things happen and I probably just didn't like him that much.
-
-i wish people were more self-aware
this is without question the #1 defining midwestern trait (lack of self-awareness)
-
I like most people. Some people like me back, but most grow tired of me quickly. I am not good at being friends with others, but it doesn't mean I don't like them.
-
-i wish people were more self-aware
this is without question the #1 defining midwestern trait (lack of self-awareness)
not politeness? Actually, the two are somewhat opposite
-
My boss told me that I was very self aware. I told him that I was not aware of that.
We laughed.
Actual thing that happened.
Gonna win 'em all!

it's an age thing and a male thing. males become markedly less social as they age.

I don't hate anyone (well maybe I could think if a couple people if I really tried) but a lot of people really annoy me.

midwestern politeness is a myth
-
I like most people. I also don't hold grudges and stuff IRL. I am not one to initialize a convo with a rando, but I am way more likely now than when I was younger.
-
a lot of people really annoy me.
that's typical of females. you're annoyed because of how socially engaged you are. an old male wouldn't have even noticed the things you are annoyed by.
-
I like people unless they get in the way of me trying to do something, whether they mean to or not. However, once that "trying to get something done" is achieved or you remove yourself from my objective all is forgiven and life continues on. Rest of the time I usually don't care for or against. Do whatever you want as long as you aren't harming others, it's not going to offend me or annoy me. Also I have a fairly short memory when it comes to people who have wronged me unless it's either consistent or truly serious.
-
I thought this was going to be about the app peeple, which should result in hilariously sad hijinks.
-
was it spelled like that app?
-
Figured he might have heard about it on AM talk radio and was unaware of the non-standard spelling.
-
Oh ok
-
maybe i don't really dislike them but I'm definitely apathetic towards them. Like i don't feel like i have any reason to talk to most people or whatever. also, sometimes at work after I've had to talk a lot during the day, I'll tell the other work people that I'm talked out and have already used all of my words and not to bug me. Is that weird? i mean it's seems like a normal/reasonable request.
-
Let's say that you are walking out of a store and a person tells you to "Have a nice day". What would your reaction be?
a. Say "You too" back to them
b. Smile
c. Ignore them and keep walking
d. Complain that they talked to you because that was unnecessary.

What about overly attentive waitresses? Like geeze don't bus the table i'm still eating, why-don't-yea!!!
Is that old-male'ness or does everyone have these feels?

This has literally never happened to me
You're not self aware enough to know you're taking too long to eat

OMG, I hate really dislike overly attentive waitresses. I also hate when they phrase things like they are part of your dining party. "What will we be having tonight? How was our meal? Did we save room for dessert?"
There is a fine line of just the right amount of attentiveness to make me really happy. Like, take my order in a timely fashion but if I need more time to decide then you better give me more time and not come back after only 30 seconds. And make sure that my drink never gets empty but don't come ask me how I am doing a million times.
-
Other than screwing up orders and stuff, there are only two things that waitresses do that piss me off. Otherwise, DGAF:
1. Call me "sweetie".
2. Let glasses get empty and stay empty an unreasonable amt of time.

Guys, I love small talk with strangers. Am I just a weirdo? But sometimes I get super irritated by it too so who knows

I hate small talk with anyone. And by "small talk" I am not talking about pleasantries like just saying Hi or Have a nice day.

Small talk might be more scary than mayo covered pickles. I hate that random idiots think they have some sort of permission to talk to me like I'm a friend. It's basically rape and should be prosecuted as such
-

Small talk is kinda nice in very small doses but when I've had my fill I have to stop myself from just walking away in the middle of that person's sentence.

if you walk away from an unwanted smalltalk convo, KSUW is going to call you a murderer

there is never a reason for a waitperson to ask how a diner is doing. never. also, there is never any reason to ask if they are enjoying the food.

I hate small talk, but I really enjoy getting to know people. Everyone's story is fascinating. I've probably become more social and outgoing as I've aged. But I'm also fine not getting to know people.
I'm just really content, ya know?
-
small talk is the rough ridin' worst and I hate it
-
Maybe I am moody, or at best inconsistent, but sometimes I really like it and sometimes I keep my earbuds in everywhere I go.

i don't mind small talk, as long as it stays small and is time and place appropriate. i also don't mind listening to people (unless i'm doing something, obvs). what i hate is when i'm expected to talk.
i'm pretty content too, i think.

Like, elevator talk is just awful. I'm terrible at it.
I also have difficulty starting conversations at a party or something. Which sucks, because like I said I enjoy hearing peoples' stories.
-
felt bad about not being sad. thought maybe I was a sociopath for awhile.
i feel like this in the mass murder pit threads. except i usually just assume i'm more honest than other posters.

we talked about soccer you goof. :lol:

everyone always makes fun about talking about the weather as an example of small talk being stupid. i love talking about the weather. if i could trust people to stick to weather related topics, i'd be much more enthusiastic about talking to strangers and casual acquaintances.

-
I think I hate small talk because I don't think these people really care about anything I am going to say. They are just thinking "I don't care at all about what she is saying." That's probably because I don't care what they are saying either.
-

I think that if I was talking to someone about their life story or something significant that happened in their life, that would be ok but how do you get into a conversation like that with someone you just met? It seems too personal for someone you don't know.
-
question for psych cats: if you're worried you may be a sociopath would it even be possible to be a sociopath?

yeah, I usually try to ask them where in the neighborhood they live (most parties I go to are in my neighborhood), how they like it, how long they've been there, etc., which can lead into how they got there and what they did before. I try to enjoy the convo even if it's someone I don't like.
-

I'm pretty sure that most sociopaths know that they are sociopaths. The thing is that they don't worry about and aren't bothered by it so by definition, if you think you might be one and it worries you, then you aren't.

One thing is for certain, the older I get the less I care what other people think about me. This makes my life much more enjoyable. Except for the people I care about, I care what they think about me most of the time.
Also, if I don't know you don't talk to me if your standing next to me in the urinal. :curse:

what if you're just curious about whether you are or aren't, but it doesn't really worry you?

you know how i know that you're a bad person? When you can't stop smiling and are like super happy at me and laugh a bunch and it's like the first time we've ever talked/met. i know you aren't a good person so stop it.

It's possible they're trying overly hard to be friendly. Or perhaps they just don't have great people skills. This does not qualify someone as a bad person, but yeah it's annoying.

Here is something that annoys me:
When a person makes sure to use your name a lot. It is like they have been taught that people like to hear their own name so they are doing it just because they were taught to do that, not because they sincerely want to say your name.
Also, there are some things that are like "good manners" or "nice things" but sometimes they come off as the person is doing it because they were taught that a good person does those things and so they should do them, not because they are sincerely a good person and really WANT to do them and they are just a natural result of being a good person.
Is that weird that it annoys me?

Very brief amounts of urinal small talk are acceptable but it has to be at the stadium.
"You see that catch Cain made?"
"Yeah, total stud"
"Yeah"
And that's it!! Any more than that and it's weird. Zip up and walk away.

i instantly flush from my mind the name of any new person i meet the first 10-20 times i hear it. only after i have repeatedly encountered someone for a month or so does my brain consider the possibility that it should learn that person's name.

Also, don't say "hi". Say kon'nichiwa. That word is much more fun and they will admire you for respecting their language and ancestry.

anyway, i approach all people as if there is something interesting to be learned from them. which is almost always true one way or another.
but i am totally comfortable doing this by silent observation with no direct interaction. BUT i also enjoy talking to people. BUT i do not really enjoy or succeed at small talk.
basically exactly what you would expect from my MBTI

I've probably blogged about this before, but I hate when people ask me, "So how has your day been?" while in the middle or near the end of some type of commercial transaction. Maybe it's a weird Texas Hospitality thing, but it makes no sense to ask me that as you're swiping my CSP and then giving me my card back and waiting for the receipt while I'm ready to grab my Mountain Dew Kick Start and Kickstart the day. Plus, you already asked me at the beginning how I was and I said, "good, and you?" and I didn't mind because that is the appropriate time to ask that type of question. When you ask me again, I want to say, "...still good," but I'm too fake polite (@Mrs. Gooch), so I have to say, "Not bad! Not bad... You?" "Oh it's been pretty good, you know, just working (this shitty job...)"
It doesn't bother me a ton, but it does feel really forced, and I wish they knew that they really don't need to put themselves through it for my sake.

I avoid ever leaving home w/o them. They're the only thing street people respect.

The worst is when ppl you dont know ask you that and you respond with the "fine, and yours? " and they start telling you how their day/job/life sucks, etc. Really awkward.

I'm a very sociable person. My go to for meeting strangers is asking about where they went to college and getting super enthusiastic about it. "Ahh Pitt, huh? That Cathedral of learning building is a trip, huh?"
People generally liked their college experience and love talking about it.
Also, I've made a concerted effort to laugh at people's jokes more. I don't know what you guys are talking about how you're annoyed by people laughing at your jokes. I think it's a very endearing quality. I've remarked numerous times to numerous people that Stevesie60 is number 1 at it.

I don't think anybody complained about a person they know laughing at their jokes. Now if it's somebody that you meet for the very first time and they are over the top laughy and super smiley and excited and stuff then yeah, that person is more than likely a bad person.

And apparently a pretty privleged one at that. i mean, when the first question you ask someone new is what college they attended then i don't even

"oh hi nice to meet you. Say there, what part of the hamptons is your summer home in?"-dlew

yeah you can't just go around asking people what college they went to

"so what did you think about what munger had to say at last years convention"-dlew to his brand new next door neighbor in reference to the 2014 Berkshire Hathaway shareholders convention

It's probably ok if most of the people you meet are through law school

"yeah if someone isn't a lawyer, I'm not willing to meet them"-apparently dlew

Just recently, I was in a meeting at work with a woman who is like 60 and a 24 year-old woman who graduated from Harvard a couple of years ago. The older woman was talking about her nephew and how he's in his senior year of high school. The younger woman, innocently trying to make conversation, totally just blurted out, "Where is he going to college?" (He's not.)

That young woman just got schooled. I hope the old lady rubbed her nose in it. the nerve of some people i swear.

OMG. I just remembered that the older woman (unintentionally) got her back on another day. We learned that some guy got engaged, fussed over that for a while, and then the older woman turns to the younger woman and says, "What about you? Any upcoming plans between you and your boyfriend?" It sort of put her on the spot and was a bit awkward and extremely WTF.
My takeaway is that people can be very entertaining even when they're not very interesting.

maybe you guys hate interacting with people because you frequently hangout with high school dropouts?

Well obviously I don't just barge in, "Dlew12, nice to meet you. So what university did you graduate from? But it's pretty easy to tell in most situations if somebody attended college. (E.g. They're a professional. They talk about how they met their significant other in college. "How do we know eachother? Oh, we were frat brothers/dormmates in school," etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.) When people hear I'm from Kansas, a lot of time they ask if I went to KU. It always seems pretty natural - I don't think it's pretentious at all.
I'm not sure if the police academy requires some kind of degree. I could see how that could get touchy when Daris is meeting new coworkers. But come on, there are social cues that could direct you about whether and where the person you're interacting with went to school.
My point is, that if I can find the opportunity to talk to someone about their school, I love to do it, and generally, they do to. I know a lot about a lot of different universities and where they're at, so there's instantly some common ground. Any time anyone talks to me about K-State, I go bananas, even if their only knowledge is that we have an old coach or that Aggieville is a thing.

"easy to tell", "social cues", "they're a professional"

Is there something confusing or offensive about this that I'm missing?

we now know that dlew and the jose peppers staff is a one-way love affair

Meh. You
guys people have fun talking about the weather. Meanwhile I'm gonna talk to this Badger over here about whether he ever personally chanted "Eat crap, eff you" (of course he did, btw).

Good grief dlew, get over yourself and your college degrees. You could have the exact same conversation with thousands of badger fans that didn't actually go to school there.

But they went to school somewhere, right? If they didn't, it's just not the same as talking to someone who did.

Do you really not understand what I'm talking about? There aren't people that you've encountered who, after having some conversation with them for a few minutes, you could feel comfortable assuming that they attended a university?
I'm not saying I ask every person I encounter about their school, I'm saying that if I find an opportunity to ask someone about their school, I jump at it.

relax, I'm just busting your balls out of boredom because i had a couple of traffic court no shows this afternoon.
Just curious though-What percentage of you really wants to know about their school though and what percentage is just waiting for them to ask you back so you can tell them all about what law school you went to and how you're a lawyer and everything?
-
i think dlew just likes showing off his school knowledge.

I mean, the main reason I ask the question is so I can brag about law school. Other than that, it's probably this:
i think dlew just likes showing off his school knowledge.
I take great pride in knowing 1 or 2 things about basically every P5 school. It really is a dynamite way to find common ground with someone you don't know very well.

new people question-what do you guys think about people who pound energy drinks in the morning? poors right? also I'm excluding red bulls because those seem like the uppity energy drink.

I assume anyone that drinks large quantities of energy drinks and/or mountain dew are meth addicts. I'm usually right.
-

i dont think they are poor because generally energy drinks cost more than a cup of jo. but i do think its stupid and gross because coffee does the same thing and doesnt have gross labeling all over it.

Construction workers love double pounding monsters so make your own conclusions

I am really enjoying all this chatter. Cracking me up.
-
you know who i really like, is this puniraptor guy. he has this certain likeableness about him.
Remember that time at the Royals game when the guy in front of us kept talking and talking to me, but not you and Cf3? And it all started because I said something about Rios and that guy didn't like him either and turned around. Odd.

yeah that was amazing. i mean his neck was craned around about 179 degrees, and he was interrupted by the national anthem, and then picked right up where he left off. amazing

he established common ground with you, and jumped on it. mocat and c43 weren't putting out compatible social cues.

Did you find out where he went to college?

That's fair. He just wouldn't stop. He was a nice enough guy I guess.
No on the college.

Dlew always struck me as a man of the people.

after i figure out what crappy college they went to, i ask them which frat they were in.
