Ever run across someone whose tone ascends at the end of their sentENCES? It makes their statements sound like questIONS.

I think to myself, "People talk how they talk. Why does that annoy you, you judgmental APPLE!?!?

Although, Sure, It should have been you...The folks that won the Lottery are not necessarily apples. They took no cuts in line that lost your place.

Be honest with yourself. What winds you up, that you might want to let go?

Note The Grade School memory of holding the tip of your tongue while attempting to pronounce the word "apple" shouldn't bother you.

Guys who have a high pitched voice (might not sound high pitched to some), but... Yeah, I shouldn't let it bother me:expressionless: And normally it doesn't, unless they want to date me. Then that's the only thing I can concentrate on. Let it go, you say. Nope. I cannot.laugh

Dare I say that I kind of agree on the understandable-ness (is that even a word?) of your post?
But unlike the one who said that I somehow find it intriguing.
I remember when I first got here your posts were mind-boggling to me and I began to serious doubt my understanding of English, haha.
But I came to see that it's just your own unique style and I appreciate it but am honest enough to say I don't always get them either.
I do, however, have the perfectly good excuse that I'm not a native speaker tongue2

As for the tone ascending... I believe people in my birth village tend to do that. I've moved away when 10 yrs old, so I don't but it stood out when I revisited as an adult.

Guys with a high pitched voice is also a big no-go for me. My worst date ever had such a voice. I found out when he phoned me as he couldn't find the parking where I was waiting.
I knew right away it wasn't going to work out. The thought of hearing that every day for the rest of my life, can't do it.
If only I hadn't been so polite... I should've gone home without meeting me and save me the experience of meeting the rudest man ever.

Lmao hey hey Beach how ya been??

Just a quick hint when Beachfarmer post make sure you read it then re-read it for Beach makes ya actually use your brain in order to decipher the question...

In life we all seem to judge too quick at times..

I have a friend that when I look at him I think sweet thang, but when he starts talking it makes me shake my head.. Love the guy as a friend, but just can't take that step to date him lmao... That voice is just a downer... yes high pitched~~

Yea I should not be that way, but well just can't get past that...whoa slaphead

I know within the last five years with seeing more dressing different, piercings etc... it is hard not to judge first... And to be honest after getting a trike and riding with groups, I have met some really neat people by putting judging aside and getting to know them first... They are who they are~~:thumbsup:

Maybe Beach and I have the same weird sense of humor, cause I totally get it.

Seriously? People, who talk like that? Drives me CRaZY? I always want to ask them if what they just said was a question or a statement. But I find I'm too annoyed to say anything in case they keep speaking to me in their ever questioning tone.laugh

I do shrug and say, don't let it bother you, but dang!! It is super annoying.

To explain my particular ADD...The best way I can think of is from those Logic and Philosophy Forums -prosleptic syllogism

example: God is love. Love is blind. Ray Charles is Blind. Ray Chales is God.

It's like the synapses is happening so fast. If someone were to to say The 80s....while most are thinking big hair and yuppies, I am already at, "Doc, you built a time machine out of a Delorean?"

It's not right or wrong...It is just references an sub-references "skipping" at an accelerated pace.

So thanks to friends who have taken the time and patience to try to understand the jibberish.

........and...........BABIES AT THE BEACH. Never worked a day in their lives and have the audacity to go on vacation??? SO ANNOYING

rofl rofl rofl rofl

My mind skips and things sometimes read like jibberish....so others stop reading to say they don't understand

ADD interlude: I got her numba, How do you like DEM apples? "Goodwill Hunting" Movie 1996

At the end of the post I reference grade School an and holding the tip of one's tongue and trying to say tthe word "apple".

I have nothing against apples...at least no more than Adam or Eve

Jen Psaki, the White House Press secretary talks like that. It is really annoying.

If she did the whole "This one time at Band Camp" monologue in that manner of speaking....which was the actor Allison Hannigan's choice and made it so funny... and she did it perfectly.


Would it bother you that a Democrat was reading the script to the movie "American Pie"?

Ironic that sarcastic statements like that will generally make them gravitate towards you.

What winds you up

Nothing...my clock-spring is broken.

Be honest with yourself.

Why would I be otherwise?

Ever run across someone whose tone ascends at the end of their sentENCES?

Yes, usually when someone is explaining something which has moral ambiguity.

Excessively mean and excessively greedy people tend to piss me off.
Since its against the law to just shoot them in the head, I tend to stay away or ignore them.
If that law ever changes, I will need bullets, lots of bullets.

Texas Techfairy SparklingCrystal

I just wanted to say that because it sounds like a Hippy or Hobbit went down to Lubbock and I can address 3 friends with 1 post.

Crystal you first- "Texas Tech" is a University in the town of Lubbock Texas. Also, when Techfairy's name is next to yours, the string of words form something I associate with hippies or characters in The JRR Tolkien - Hobbit books. English not being your first language, it must be SO difficult to read things with too many metaphors and references from a pop culture that may be unfamiliar.....I equate it to mumbling to the hard of hearing. The truth is, your English is better than over half the people I went to school with.

TG3333 - Thanks for the rescue and you dish way too much credit. Any brain teasers are completely accidental. It's hilarious when folks who look like ZZ Top, talk like Minnie Mouse. I know several biker types who look as rough as they come. Then they will say things like, "Toodles" when they are leaving. What's that about?

Techfairy - I don't know you as well but you seem very well educated. Maybe on top of your education your brain has room for senseless trivia, meaningless facts, and pop culture fodder.......the stuff that purges my education for space. Thanks for "Getting it!"

haha, then can it be a hippy that went to Lubbock?
I loved The Hobbit, but their feet not so much, hihi.
And I am fine with English, it's been part of my life all my adult years. It's part of me. I even write & publish my books in English via a UK publisher, when I coach it's in English etc.
The only thing is that I'm more wired to use/think/speak BrE.
As for English my girlie is the same as she was married to an American for 5 years and lived in the US, and she grew up with a British stepfather.
But unlike me, she's all AmE wired.


In any case, as for what I really don't like, and can't let go of as it's just how I function:
I don't like people that cannot be inspired or motivated.
The type that needs to sit on a therapist's chair for decades and is then still whinging about the same thing.
I'm wired to inspire, to coach, to guide, teach etc. so such people exhaust the crap out of me.
And I don't understand it either.

You could call that a flaw, I don't care, hihi. It's how I function, and I cannot change it.
