villaajax Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It's more the fact that facebook appears to be one of the only ways to speak to people nowadays. I'm not one to phone people, it takes ages to get a reply when texting, msn used to be full of people but now has about 6 people online worldwide. (of course I'm not on about when I'm actually out or seeing mates.. I just mean generally when I'm home and have nothing to do) Last year one of my aunties didn't bother to call my dad or send him a card on his birthday, she just put "Happy birthday to my brother" as her status. My dad doesn't use Facebook, he can barely use a computer. So she was just hoping someone else might tell him she'd done that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an idiotic/lazy aunt, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 FB helped me a lot when I split with my missus fella. I'm surprised, thought you would have needed more than FB to get you through finding out you've been dating a he/she. he/she came in useful in more ways than one. Did both the ironing and the heavy lifting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 15, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted April 15, 2011 My brother is like that when someone calls him. If my mum calls me from downstairs, I'll answer her, to aknowledge that I heard her shout me. My brother won't. He'll just walk from his room to the stairs, by which time my mum will shout him again, not knowing he's heard. Then he'll be "Yes! I heard you the first time!". Answer her then, hows she meant to know you heard! Maybe he doesn't like shouting? I know I don't. When my Mom used to do that to me, I'd be similar to your brother. I find shouting a bit uncouth TBH. Same. it used to really piss me off, my Mom shouting up the stairs. Come and speak to me you silly bint! Especially as if I did the same to her, she'd be pissed off and tell me to come speak to her rather than yelling around the house. Also, something that used to annoy me. When my mom would declare that dinner was ready, so you'd come in and sit down, and it wasn't ready at all, and you had to wait 10 minutes to eat!

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Just to add to my strict answering policy. People who lie about being late. I'd rather I just knew people were being late because I wouldn't really care as much as people going "I'll be 5 minutes" and then you waiting by the door for 15 minutes because in fact, they haven't even left their house yet, they are just jumping in the shower while you are ready and waiting thinking 'where the **** are they' Basically, I like honest answers that give you the story. If I ask how long you are going to be here, I don't want "im gnna be 5 minutes" or "dunno, won't be long" I want "probably going to be around 15ish minutes" as someone pointed out, that also goes for food...."tea's ready".......walk downstairs to find it not even being plated up, barely taking it out the oven, heck even if I had waited upstairs for 2-3 minutes for some unknown reason, I still would have been earlier. Is there some sort of problem with calling me for tea when you are actually dishing it up? is that too hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Yeah, I don't like my mum/dad shouting at to me, and when I replied with a shout of "Yes?" they wouldn't respond. "Because i'm not having a conversation through shouting" Well why bleeding start it with a shout!? If you want to speak to me, come and speak to me, if I want to speak to you, I won't shout at you til you appear, so why the same for me!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 It is annoying when parents shout up, then you shout back and they say "Come out of your room!!! I can't hear you!" If it's for dinner or something they're doing for you, then fine.. but usually for Me it's "Can you help me plug in the printer?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
