Diaries of an Angry Fangirl

☞ stupid things people say

There's a lot of people in the world who say some... questionable things. Here's a few of them.

1. "You're not replying because you know I'm right!"

Actually, I stopped replying because you're a fucking idiot and arguing with you is pointless. Everything I say goes through one ear and out the other, and you just keep repeating yourself like you're a broken record. 

People like this literally make me loathe myself because I want to stop arguing because I know they aren't listening/comprehending, but I don't want them to have the satisfaction in thinking I gave up??? Like, that's why I keep my mouth shut half the time lmao.

2. "You're not even gay." or "You're not even black." or "But you're Christian."

Sorry, I didn't think I had to be a specific sexuality, color or religion to support a group of people and stand up for justice, but okay. 

3. "I hate him/her because they believe in ____."

I didn't realize there was a law that said we all have to believe in the same thing to get along. Kind of messes up the idea of individuality.

For real, what made me think of this one was my stepdad (go figure) because when the Bill Nye commercial came on during the Superbowl he was like, "Oh, that guy is such a scumbag. I can't stand him." And me and my mom were like "Bruh, he's doing a commercial for detergent." Then this dumbass goes, "He's a global warming fanatic. I hate him."

Okay, you simple-minded coward. God forbid somebody believes in something you don't. The thing is, Bill Nye is a scientist??? Like dedicated his life to science??? Who are you??? I don't give a fuck. You're still gonna hear me singing.

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY... BILL, BILL, BILL, BILL!

4. "You like One Direction? I bet that's all you listen to." 

I mean, I have a broader music taste than the span of your thoughts, apparently. Who knew if you liked a boy band you sold your soul to listening to them and only them? 

I'm not gonna lie. I love me some One Direction and I have throwback days dedicated to their old songs all the time. But my actual Spotify playlist that I listen to daily doesn't have a single one of their songs. Even if it did, who the fuck cares? My music taste ain't none of your damn business, home skittles. 

Next time someone says this to me, I'm gonna play History on full volume in their ear. Might even tie them to a chair and let all five albums shuffle on repeat. That'll show 'em.

5. "You're such a nerd."

I'm a nerd with pride, thank you very much. While my vocabulary continues to expand with each passing work of literature I consume, you keep on using your abbreviations for short phrases like "on my way" or "right now." You might even get to high school reading level one day. Dream big!

No, but legit. People like this are the perfect example of why I'd rather read than have personal interactions with others. Let me be a nerd in peace, please. Go bother someone who actually gives a damn about your weak "insults."

And for the record, I'm not gonna act like I don't use abbreviations. I'll use "bc" instead of "because" in a heartbeat, but you gotta admit some people take texting slang too far. There's so many abbreviations, I don't even think anyone knows what they're really saying half the time. Like I legit had my cousin text me like this the other day:

me: stop stealing my cheetos

her: awgthtgota

me: um did your fingers twitch or something

her: no, that means 'are we to have to go over this again'

me: and you couldn't type that because???

her: it's too long

SORRY I'M NOT A DAMN MIND READER, BUT I WRITE THINGS LIKE "AWGTHTGOTA" WHEN I'M FANGIRLING, YOU GOTTA BE MORE SPECIFIC.

If you have time to text, you have time to text me proper English, or at least abbreviations that make fucking sense.
