So the word couple refers to two- so this works out just great, cause right now- I hate two things:
1. Myspace profiles. Or more specifically, those myspace profiles that find a way to kill my computer.
Everybody knows what I'm talking about here. You're browsing myspace, and you're like, "O look! thers's Amy! I hvn't sene hur in lke a millin yeers! I hope she has sum hott pixxx!!!" (Yeah, that's how you talk. Deal with it). So you make a click that you will never be able take back as 300 animated gifs, 8 flash slide shows, 4 videos, 7000 pictures, 5 instances of glittery text, and a moving and distracting background loads- and everything is transparent about 50%-60%. Which brings even the best computers to a slow and painful halt. People should very plainly not be allowed to reproduce. Ever. Let humanity just die now. Seriously, folks, Myspace is the new geocities/angelfire. There is no defeating the internet animated gif curse. AAAARGG!!!
My solution: Use opera, and utilize this great button "Show/Hide Images." It'll help you get through the tough times.
2. People who make plans with absolutely no intention on following through.
Some people think it makes them seem more popular, or maybe they just plain forgot, but I think we can all name a few people like this. You mention that there's a party, or that you're going to the movies, and your friend is all about it. So you make sure to keep them in the loop, and they know what time it is, and they're totally coming. And then the event comes and passes, and where were they? Oh, they had something else to do. No phone calls, no nothing. It's just understood that all plans are tentative - even if you're meeting them somewhere, and don't take it the wrong way, they're just busy, "but we def need to hang out some time!!" You know what they get? Never called back by me.
It's cool if something comes up. Give me a call, let us know what's going down. But it's not cool that you already had plans to go to a party, and you just kinda hadn't made up your mind completely (although inside you knew you were going to that party), but you went ahead and agreed on meeting up somewhere else with someone else that you're totally going to blow off.
Well I've got some news for you - it doesn't make you look more popular. It doesn't make you seem important. In fact, all it does is make you seem really damn stupid, and it makes the person you blew off feel unimportant to you. Not unimportant in general, just to you. And you know what that means - it means you're not worth keeping around. I'm not going to go above and beyond for your slightly less than average personality that does little more than keep me entertained for a couple hours, but even then it's not so much entertainment as it is just keeping me from hanging out by myself, which in this case might be more stimulating anyhow since you're boring as crap. I'm not going to push to keep a line of communication between us, I'm not going to work to be your friend.
When you blow someone off, you clearly communicate that either you're not interested in that person's friendship, or two, you're a crappy friend. Either way, that's not somebody I care to keep around.
Scoring number two on people I hate are the people who "might make appearances." And literally do that. You know the types: The kind that overbook themselves, but still maintain their commitments, but in a very half-assed way. You two get together, it's a rushed lunch or what not, they spend the entire time making plans with other people on the phone or texting, and then they gotta jet - no time for extra conversation.
If you've got more than one (short) stop today/tonight- and my company isn't your final destination (or at least a major one), don't bother. That's almost as insulting. "Oh hey how's it going? oh what? you're leaving already? You just got here! Oh- you have other places to be. You must be itching to get out of here. Sorry to hold you up."
Screw you.
