Not Fun Anymore

So today, I’m gonna teach you people what you might or might not have already known.

Objective:

To actually make you understand how to handle difficult people, which are basically categorized into 1) Bitchy

2) Acceptably Bitchy

3) Not that Bitchy but somehow annoying

4) Safe people (people you’ve known and trust to not be bitchy, though few, they are very much appreciated and will not be discussed here)

Damn tulan today, u know. That’s why I decided to kutuk kau-kau.

Bitchy People:

These kind of people are basically born with supercharged emo mode. Like a nuclear reactor, they don’t wear out their nuclear power that easily. Like what the cantonese say, ‘lei sei khui dou mei sei ah’–which translates to, you die she also notchet die ah. Everyday, emo-emo. Little problem come up, sure emo and put on sour face to show people that they’re actually emo-ing. You try to be nice and ask what actually happened….then they turn their emo-ness on you and make you feel as though you are the one who had actually went to hell and absorbed all the evil to purge it on them. Normally, if this is what I feel after talking to these people for a while, I’ll try to change the subject to a safer one. Or, better, find an excuse to dart. Like, ‘hei, I’m VERY hungry, I’ll go grab something at the foodcourt first, then I’ll come back to you ok?’. Everybody who’s sane enough will not go back to them. Or, if you’ve got the guts or when you’re in an especially mean mood, shoot them a killer look and say ‘hei, I didn’t put you into this shit ok? Don’t talk like I was the one who made everything bad in this world happen to you ok? And save your monkey-emo-face for yourself ok? I’m not your mother to cry to, ok? Your fault la if you’re a dumbass.’ And dart. Make sure you look pretty pissed when you dart. And make sure to cross them out of your birthday party list. However if you’re really stuck with them, god bless your soul la, I cannot do anything and I’ll understand if you ever do anything like cutting your wrists.

Acceptably Bitchy People:

These people are ok to talk to, once in a while. Because they’re not as bad as those in no.1. They are quite commonly found. Only when trouble comes that you will see their bitchy side. You would wish them to shut up, but hei, it’s all alright. Because they don’t actually make the situation any worse, compared to the Bitchy people. Treat these people with mild caution. Never ever forget that they can turn their back on you to suddenly be bitchy.

Not that Bitchy but somehow annoying people:

The usual kind are those who are clingy, dependent on you, always asking you repetitive questions that don’t matter, just to strike up a conversation even though you’re not in the mood. These people will not sit down quietly unless you’ve hurt them enough to be pissed with you. So, to avoid them to be pissed with yourself, just space out whenever they are near you. If they ask anything, answer with limited words or just a grunt. They accept anything that acknowledges their presence. You can even choose to answer alternately or until they actually smack your head to give them an answer. Some are pretty hard to piss-off, so take note of whatever they are easily offended of, and use it wisely.

Conclusion:

After all’s said and done, after every encounter with any of the above people, you would probably need someone to talk to, to throw out all the suppressed disgusts and turn them into the topic to kutuk with your friends, preferably from group 4. If not, just about anybody will do, as long as it’s not the perpetrator herself.

But, in this life, you must know that, without these little annoyances, there will be no kick. Say, like a bowl of tom yam, if it’s not sour or spicy enough, it’s not tom yam at all. Just take it as a game, don’t succumb to all these unnecessary pressures.What I’d like to think is that, if I can’t take these petty stuff, I’m just a useless weakling with no future ahead.
