Afternoon Cage Dwellers.
I've noticed an upsurge in some naughty traits some folks have [and not the fun kind either.]
Shall we discuss? And no, this is not aimed at any one person, this is quite a few people I've observed over time be it on this site, or on others.
Passive aggressiveness is a big one.
I have 0 tolerance for it. Passive aggressive actions/words only really serve to cause more trouble and stir the pot, but it tells me you don't have the spine to talk to me like an adult and tell me flatly you either have an issue, or you just don't like me. Trying to make snide little comments, or actions will only serve in meeting my silver tongue in a lashing, or just getting outright ignored.
It's quite alright if you don't like me. I didn't come to this site expecting everyone to be buddies with me.
I speak my mind, I'll call things as I see it, I'm confrontational, and I know I can be abrasive.
Not everyone likes nor handles that well.
But there's no need to act like an invertebrate around me. [Spineless. I'm calling you Spineless. Grow a goddamn backbone.]
I also have a low to no tolerance for willfully stupid people either. When I say this, I don't mean someone who is ignorant. There's a difference between ignorance and stupidity in my opinion. Ignorance, there's the chance to learn and grow. You can't know what you've never learned about.
Willful stupidity is more along the lines of shutting off the will to learn or grow, the incessant need to talk out of your assend just to hear [or read] yourself speaking. There's a refusal to stop, observe, or consider what's around, what's said, or what's happening.
Like I said. Willful stupidity. It's obnoxious and only shows how uneducated/uninformed you are...
One of the other traits I've noticed is compulsive lying.
I pride myself on actively listening to others. I observe and watch a lot. I've caught a few people mid-lie about different things. Not even big lies either: like saying they're single to a potential submissive they're interested in [when they told me they were married 2 weeks prior], but stupid little frivolous things. Like owning 3 cars one day when I had saw that person bemoaning their car was dead and they own no other vehicles to use a few days later...
Why lie? Just doesn't make sense. It doesn't make you look better, it doesn't benefit you, it doesn't provide any benefit to you or the other person. (Granted using lies for those things is still equally wrong.) and commonly if someone will lie about small things, they'll lie about important things.
And a final one is childish behavior.
"Chimera, you're immature yourself..."
Notice I didn't say "Immaturity" in general. I more mean childish behavior such as leaving snide comments in historical blogposts you had to burrow into my history to comment on, deliberately trying to start issues with others, trying to spread rumors about others, or playground antics of base name-calling.
Sorry, I'm not here to babysit, or re-enact "Mean Girls" with anyone.
If you have a habit of these traits, chances are we're not going to get along and you're not going to like me much.
Usually, (even if I dislike someone) I'll generally try to be polite, civil, and leave that other person be. It's when you bring those traits directly to me or push me do I really go off.
What are some naughty traits you all have found in your ventures? I'm curious to see what others have encountered.
