exaggeration and tall tales galore

When it's just not funny anymore


It's become a joke, hasn't it?

Unreliability.

Unreliability is when you buy food from a stall at the foodcourt run by a couple of Malay guys, who say it will be done in 7 minutes, but take 20 instead, and the food that's finally given is a pathetic representation of what it's supposed to be.

Unreliability is people saying they'll meet you at 12 o'clock, but come at 12.45 without letting you know beforehand that they'll be late. Or letting you know 5 minutes before you're due to meet. It is friends saying that they'll meet you at KL sentral at 11, but are still on a train at 11.30. It is program organizers who say that the event will start at 9 but still haven't gotten it off the ground at 10.30. It is an "important guest" who's supposed to show up to officiate the ceremony at 7.30, but have their chauffeurs drop them off at 8.30.

Unreliability is landlords who give you the electric bill past the due date, make you move unexpectedly and say you'll have the property for a particular period but then back up on their word.

Unreliability is people in a position of power who can't handle things efficiently, who are disorganized and cannot get the task done satisfactorily. Who are happy with mediocre results.

Unreliability is people saying that they'll be there when they won't. Don't say you'll be there for the sake of pretending to be nice, you retard. If you won't be there, just bloody say it.

Unreliability is people who don't reply your emails even though it's urgent, who don't keep up their end of the bargain, and don't credit you as they are supposed to.

To the alarmingly large amount of unreliable people I've met in such a short space of time, to you I say FUCK YOU. I say FUCK YOU for your unreliability, FUCK YOU for having positions of power and advantages when you don't deserve it, FUCK YOU for not being aware of the impact of you actions, or more precisely, lack of; on other people. For being aware but not doing anything about it. For thinking that the fucking wreck of a job you're doing currently is acceptable.FUCK YOU.

I have a little bit of sadness and whole lot of anger bottled up, I must get this out somehow. With things like these, unreliability and bitterness, they should be dealt with a pinch of humor, I think. Laugh it off, baby. laugh it off. In the grand scheme of things, they're nothing. Laughable nothings.

But sometimes, it's just not that funny.

oh dear.. i can't say i remembered your birthday - i don't know when it is haha. but anyway. remember that there are still a great deal of reliable people in the world, probably many of your friends as well. :) it's just that the unreliable people stand out more because they piss you off haha. celebrate awesome people who can be relied upon!

aiya come, let me cheer you up with my trivial intelligence. if you can't crack your knuckles, it's ok! the sound you hear when you do that is the sound of nitrogen bubbles bursting. wtf. ): there you go, a random fact to make you sound smart in conversations :P

post-pmr life is busy! no actually it depends on your definition of busy la. i got a part time job at some home deco shop in the curve, so that's eating what little remains of my social life. resigning on the tenth though, so after that i'll have even less of a social life haha

im numbering your points.

i think i have a huge share in number 2. most of it because - bangun lambat, or incapability of properly agak masa travel. but i still hate people who are late for appointments. like today when the admin sppose to check the apartment, the freaking housemate went freaking out to suburb just to have lunch for 4 hours and missed the inspection time. just for a freaking lunch.

haha. sorry termembebel di sini. ko x tau kan hsemate ak sape? kalau tau pun buat2 lupe la. ^^V

i concur with everything especially, especially point 5. i call it half-hearted concern whcih freaking annoying and disgusting. such people are a lot. so i tend to ignore if people say things like that to me unless i really know the person who say it will mean it. and the number of people is really countable.

wah.. so long. so many freaking word used.

although we know that it wont change these people just writing it down here and waste our time even thinking or be angry about it,

but sometimes you just want to say it and let someone know. maybe.

^^V

this is probably not what oprah would want you to hear, but with people, just expect the worst.

and then instead of getting disappointed by their substandard behavior, you'll get pleasantly surprised by their minimal effort to be decent. :P

actually come to think of it. it takes a lot of effort to act halfway decent nowadays.
