Everybody has their pet peeves, I'm telling you mine. It's not cos I'm angry or still angry with you for it, I just want to inform you so that you would understand and hopefully not allow such things to happen again.
Pet Peeve #1: Not reply my sms (of course those that requires a response from you).
If I ever send an sms or share my prob with you or tell you that I'm sad or something relatively important and you don't reply? Oh my gosh, I will be even more sad I tell you. It doesn't matter if you are too busy to reply (which is really a stupid excuse, c'mon lah, how long does it take for you to send u an sms? 3 mins the most!) or that you have to reply late as long as you DO reply. NOT REPLYING IS EQUIVALENT TO IGNORING ME AND WHAT KIND OF REAL FRIENDS DO THAT? And if you dun reply becos u want to save 5 cents? I say keep your money and dun ever sms me again. Is not our friendship worth more than 5 cents? Am I not worth your 5 cents?
Pet Peeve #2: SAY I'll CALL YOU BACK AND THEN NOT CALL BACK!!!!
Zah............ At least 3 persons have done this to me. When you said, "I'll call you back", you meant it right!!??? If you didn't, can you not say it!? Pls for goodness sake becos I will take you for your word when you say that. I know some people say it out of habit... very subconsciously... but I hope you will change this habit becos when you say "I'll call you back", I'm taking it that you WILL call me back. If you dun actually have any intention of calling me back, just dun say it!!! I quote from Phil Pringle, " Our credibility rests on our words coming to pass. Those we lead trust us in large measure on the basis of what we said will happen actually happening."
Pet Peeve # 3: Hurl vulgarities at me. [This shouldn't even be classified as a pet peeve to begin with becos it is not just a minor annoyance, it is blatant inconsideration, an outright weapon.]
Pls dun ever "f**k" or "what the hell!!" me even when you are angry with me. IT IS GOING TO HURT. Being angry doesn't give you the right to hurl vulgarities at me. If some random acquaintance hurls those words at me, it wouldn't really matter becos they dun mean anything to me but if I treasure you and you use those words at me?? Man, it is really going to hurt.
"Right words heal, but cutting words wound people deeply . . . Even though we may think that "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, " this is not so. Hurtful words leave deep wounds in the soul . . . Successful people understand the power of the tongue and use it to heal and build, not to wound and destroy. (Phil Pringle) " Enufff said already!
It's the little things in life that makes a big difference. How you treat me tells me a lot about how much I actually matter to you. I hope you know that.
And if I ever do the above pet peeves to you when you are my friend???
And if you are reading this and you have committed the above "crimes" , I forgive you and I still love you ok? Just dun do it again pls. *Hugs*
