bicycle, my a**

     You want to know one of my pet peeves? One of the most infuriating things in this world? One of the acts that i just can't get over because i find it so rude and common that it just shouldn't be legal, ever?!

     I. Absolutely. Hate. It. When. People. Don't. Say. What. They. Mean.

     Simple as that. Why can't people just tell others how they're feeling straight up? I'm not going to get mad at you that you don't want to go the movies with me, but you don't have to tell me you're spending the day with your family. That makes me finding out you really spent it with your other friend much more maddening. Girls do this allllllll the time. 

     Another example: when a friend is mad at you, but they pretend nothing is wrong so they don't cause drama or anything. Okay stop! That never works! Just spit it out and tell me what i did wrong. Because otherwise we will both go on for weeks knowing something is getting under our skin. That itself will put another grudge in between us. 

     Another example: those pushover, people-pleasers that always say "i don't care" whenever you ask them what they want to do. You're not on autopilot, and you have a brain which means you have your own opinions. Share them. Or don't pretend like you're enjoying yourself when really you hate what we're doing. That's your fault!

    Oh, but you know what my favorite example of people not saying what they mean is? When someone promises they will hang out with you, and then last minute cancels and tell you they have to go to the U to pick up they're bicycle they left because they're worried it is going to be stolen. Really? You're scared your bike was stolen? You couldn't think of any better excuse? Can you imagine how infuriating that is? Why can't you just tell me the truth?! Is it really that hard for you? Are you really going to be that immature about things? Are we FIVE YEARS OLD?! No we are not, we are eighteen!

     I mean, that never happened to me. I'm just saying if it did, it would really get under my skin.
