Dear people of today;

I would like to ask a simple question.

Does the word "bye" not exist in today's vocabulary anymore? Do those three little letters carry a taboo that I don't know about? Will your head explode if you say it? Because as far as I know, that's pretty impossible. So tell me.. is it a lost form of common courtesy? Because that's more believable considering that we're all pretty much digressing back to neanderthal behavior anyway, I just wish someone had notified me.

So because of the.. extinction of the word "bye", I would like to know when exactly is it that conversations end so that I could be in on it when you just drop off the planet while I am talking. So as to not be possibly saying something important while you decide to wander off and do some other piddly little thing you want to do. Like, oh I dunno.. take a nap in the middle of the day. Play a game. Look at facebook. Laughing like a derp at things you see on Tumblr.. Whatever it is, I would be so appreciative if someone would tell me when it is that we know a conversation has been closed, because the world knows you can't be bothered to take five seconds of your time to type three iiiiitsy bitsy little letters in order to let me know.

Some of you, I have your phone numbers. And if this happens to be a fad nowadays, I feel it necessary that I may call you, have a conversation, and then hang up whenever I feel bored or annoyed. Because lol, I'm sorry, you must have thought you were the sun that gives light to the earth and everyone hangs on every word you say, right? Cute.


Here's another pet peeve of mine. A big one. One that turns me into a raging ball of flaming sarcasm that can really be taken as just plain assery if you're easily offended and/or don't know me very well.

When I say something... do you need to respond with "really"? For example..

"I saw a bird."
"Really?"
"Yeah."

... Now, if it had been me:

"I saw a bird."
"Really?"
"NNnnaaaaaw, it was a flying car with a beak driven by a zombie smoking a pipe."

What is the point with those "really"s? Can you not contribute to the conversation like... here would be an appropriate response:

"I saw a bird."
"What kind was it?"
"It was a cardinal."
"Oh, I like cardinals. They're red."

And then the conversation would continue on about how freaking derpy cardinals are when they fly repeatedly into the windows of your house at full speed. See? Interesting conversation. Instead of a reenactment of some King of the Hill show where we're all just standing there going "Oh this happened today." "Really?" "Yep." "Yup." "Mhm." <<< DOES THAT SOUND LIKE A LEGITIMATE CONVERSATION? NO. STOP RUINING IT WITH YOUR IDIOT 'REALLY'S, DAMMIT. D<

"Really" should be used like "very". D< IN FRONT OF AN ADJECTIVE. Like "that's really blue" or "this is really annoying" or "this is really fun". It should be banned to use it by itself in a question. It's a conversation murderer and only prolongs the torture of having to deal with people. AARRGGGHHH.

TL;DR = SAY BYE TO PEOPLE WHEN YOU LEAVE, AND STOP USING THE WORD "REALLY" IN USELESS WAYS!

Sincerely, me. e___e
