I think she has a point, if people use her stuff they should treat it with respect!

“let you use” is just another way of saying “store in the kitchen.” don’t want your utensils touched by housemates? why then, those are your closet utensils.

When I’m trying to turn my psychotic handwriting into something that commands authority, I like to use a quill pen. Its much classier and very very retro. I’m just concerned that she might use blood as ink.

Jeebus, I hate it when people use calligraphy pens to write with when they so clearly don’t have a clue how to use them! Perhaps this poor, overwrought girl thought she would come off as somehow more worthy of her roommates respect, and thus their complicity, if she used a calligraphy pen to transform her psychotic handwriting into something that commands authority…. of course, poor dear didn’t realize that the pen is not magic – one has to KNOW how to make the pretty writing….

a lot of this stuff isn’t technically passive aggressive. passive aggression involves the person implying that the listener’s stance is hostile, even though it clearly isn’t. a textbook example is starting a sentence with “i know you’re probably going to yell at me but . . .” before the listener has even had a chance to react they are put on the defensive, the onus now on them (if they accept it) to demonstrate that they’re not hostile. Even more subtle and simple is saying “relax!” to someone who is not agitated in any way. this is a button for a lot of people – try telling people to relax for no reason and see how long it takes to get someone in a righteous fury.

Penguin,

I thought #215 might have been a sarcastic reply to my question. But then it also could have been a reply to someone else – there seems to be a little overlapping here and there. I appreciate the clarification. And, just so you know, I find sarcasm fucking delicious!

I would like to say that once I had posted #215 (“Sorry, no.”) it occurred to me that it might be taken as serious commenting, so I made a follow-up post (#216 or whatever it was at the time) which consisted of merely a grinning yellow face. Somewhere along the line, this was swept up into the trash bin along with whatever the hell else disappeared (I wasn’t in here yesterday so I don’t know what happened).

So, SHARKFAN, if you are still reading and – more importantly – still care, #215 was a joke.

There, don’t you feel better? I sure do.

I wonder whether there’d be a way to have the comments not renumber themselves when previous comments are deleted. Because the couple dozen above comments weave a dizzying narrative, and I’ve seen similar instances on other threads.
