    I friendzoned a girl and now she wont talk to me because she thought I wanted the V and I didn't, I thought we were just friends :(

    Yell "take THAT, societal conception of gender roles!" and kick someone down the stairs.

    I regularly do this and it's pretty great.

    i am actually pretty irritated at myself for not liking a girl who likes me

    it's not like i'm swamped with offers

    but if you're not attracted to someone you're not attracted to them

    Sympathy D?

    And when you feel guilty later you get the Sympathy V
    In which you'll eventually have to return with Sympathy D

    Will the cycle of sympathy pleasures never end?!

    Bless your heart.

    I regularly do this and it's pretty great.

    the worst part is she was literally my only good friend in the area, this was about a year and a half ago

    Now Im getting chummy with this girl and she wanted lunch yesterday and im getting the same vibes but absolutely do not feel that way about her (like im p sure she thought it was a date)

    maybe there's something wrong with me, I've been single for a long time why am I not interested by default

    You don't have to be interested by default. That sounds like a 'desperate cat-lady no-one-wants-to-die-alone' attitude.

    Well... I'm sorry, and that sucks. But it she's not going to talk to you over that it seems like she might be lacking some... maturity? I mean that shit is really, really disappointing but it's not a thing to drop a friendship over for more than a week so you get over it.

    Also nothing wrong with you, you're just being a person.

    with the first one, I know her feelings were probably hurt too, because I asked her if she wanted to see a movie and I show up and she's wearing her best clothes and wearing perfume and her roomate isn't joining us and I'm thinking "oh dear", because I'm just wearing what the fuck ever because I thought it was just friend's going out

    now I have nobody to go see movies with or check out new restaurants and shit, siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

    I once went to buy a soda at the mall at one of those news stands. I only had like $2 on me, the soda was $2.50... alright, I go to pay with my card, "Sorry it's a $5 minimum."

    "Got anything behind there to make it $5, can I just go grab another soda?"
    "You're holding up my line."

    So I went to the subway right next to him and stared him right in the eyes as I got a 85 cent soda and paid with a card.

    Basically, fuck people who sell stuff.
    So... you didn't check to make sure you had enough money to buy what you wanted, and you didn't grab some extra stuff before you got in line to hit the $5 minimum, but that's his fault?
    To be fair, that clerk sounded like a dick.
    If I were in line behind Bowen, I would have been pissed.

    And not at the clerk.
    ? Really?

    Why? Are you pissed at people in front of you when they mistype their PIN and apologize while having to do it a second time?
    Likely one of those people who assumes cash is faster. Up here you're lucky if the cashier can figure out how to count change quicker than I can hit "credit" on the keypad.
    Thanks for putting words in my mouth, but no. What I think is faster is telling you to go away rather than waiting around for you to figure out what you need to buy because you weren't paying attention to what you were doing.
    Why is it important to your quality of life that everyone around you is maximally efficient and doesn't inconvenience you whatsoever.
    People are often annoyed when activities that are uninteresting but necessary are made more time consuming than they need to be.
    But the extra time involved is so tiny.
    I meant just in general.

    When extra time crosses the threshold into inconvenience is kind of subjective.

    Plus the whole thing of many people causing small delays adding up overall.
    I think this is what frustrates me about the buses, too. People riding like assholes causes all of the buses to get backed up, and become late. In addition, they do it every fucking day, which does add up quite a bit over time.

    I've only got one life, and I'd rather keep the amount of it wasted by waiting on fuckfaces to figure out that they need to have their fare ready before they get on the bus kept to a minimum.

    Yeah but if someone shares awesome stuff repeatedly it can get annoying and boring.

    Ehhhhh. OK. It is absolutely immature to drop all contact and be a jerk about it; however, some feelings are too strong and remaining friends with someone could be bad for your mental health, so sometimes even being friends just isn't an option. Being honest about that is where maturity comes into play.

    Oh. Yeah, I mean, you shouldn't feel guilty because you couldn't really have known, but that sucks. And for sure that must have hurt. But not like, never talk ever again hurt.

    Of course I say this as a lonely person with issues relating to meeting people in person so..

    Ok, that is certainly true. I guess I just find that.. really weird if you haven't actually dated. But just because I can't relate to it doesn't mean it doesn't happen, so yeah.

    But how do you intend to do that. Getting pissed doesn't do anything. Now you're wasting more time on the bus and you're in a bad mood. How is that good?

I personally love it, but again it's more about the bigger picture and gigantic tactical battles in a platoon. On a small scale it's not going to be as smooth as other FPSs, but I'm not much of a competitive FPS player so it doesn't bother me.

    They claim that they do but it has never worked for me. It doesn't even give me a good reason, it's just that when I try it's like "Sorry but we cannot process your renewal online, go wait in line."

    I could understand if there was some change like a new vehicle or even new insurance policy or something, but nope. Same shit every year and it never works online.
