I thought you were gonna talk about asshats who just stand around while the rest of us are trying to set up the band room, for band. That also makes sense too. It really just ticks me off. People just expect that they can just sit around and do what they want, while someone else does what the other is supposed to be doing. Something else I hate is that, people keep trying to borrow my school supplies, like for a pen. EVERY DAY. It's like come on, you should have your own stuff. Or trying to copy my answers on my worksheet, or homework, it bugs me because it's mine not theirs. I don't have any problem sharing, but every single time gets annoying.

I understand how you feel, people want to talk to me, but never tell me what they want.

I know what you mean

A couple of weeks back I was doing RT 4v4 and after one of the games finished I got a random invite. Not knowing who it was from or what it was for I just cancelled it straight away.

Seconds later I get "wtf how rude" etc from this random guy who I had never even talked to because I did not accept his invite. After talking to him it turns out he was from the previous game and noticed I was decent and wanted to do 2v2.

If he had've actually introduced himself and said something like "hey man we just did 4v4 together would you like to try some 2v2" I probably wouldve obliged. I tried to explain to him that I don't even accept invites from people I know unless they talk to me first so why would I accept an invite from someone I don't even know? He didn't understand so I ended up just saying goodbye and that was that.

I much prefered the "u d/d+ fs kk? wisper plzzzzzz" on iCCup to being treated like a computer. The more I think about it a lot of the blame can be put on Battle.net 2.0 for being such an awful system. Battle.net 2.0 is pretty much as anti social as it gets. It dehumanises actual people into just being a "join game" button. People are being trained to click buttons and go, there is barely any meaningful interaction. Don't like someone? Leave and click the button again and you get someone else.

It's funny because a lot of the reasoning for the designs of battle.net 2.0 were to reduce "abuse" or "harrassment" or even "spam". I actually think it's far worse right now than it has ever been. It should be a system to build up a community of players and have people working as a group to get better at the game, instead everyone just gets turned into some letters and numbers that you have to beat to gain rank in a ladder than barely makes sense.

People often forget that there are real people behind the comments, words, and posts.
When i ask for some work or something from someone in my college i will always ask politely because I know that the next day or week I will run into him or her.
That doesnt work for people who you dont see irl.
If you know someone famous you will also get harassed for it and it certainly sucks, just try to stay calm and play it cool.

@OP: I don't know which one is stupider, people doing these things or you showing off your e-mail (no offense indeed). But you're damn right about 2 things: "Hey raelcun sup, i want to be your real id friend" is much worse than "Hey raelcun sup, I'm Metalwing from TL.net, I live in Turkey and I want to be your real id friend, ... (more info here)" and "Hey raelcun sup can you do me a favor" is just worse than "Hey raelcun sup can you do me a favor and play a practice games or 2 with me cos I want to practice my vZ/cast my blah blah tournament where these players are invited/help spreading my event of blah blah where I help the blah blah by getting donations from my blah blah paypal account and later donate to blah blah charity organization".

But when someone comes to you and say "Hey raelcun sup, how r u doin lately, how is your school goin, when do you think you stream pokemon again" or any sort of casual talk like that and you respond with "stfugtfo", this means that you're a dick (I don't know if you do this kind of dickness or not). You may want not to talk at that particular moment and it's pretty understandable but well, stfugtfo is not the best way to express that and you probably know it better than I do.

people are always amazed at how polite i am... i almost never get angry/abuse people... cept road rage... have very little patience when it comes to people doing stupid things on the road...

Yeah, road rage is just hilarious. I just love to scream "Why don't u move you son of a bitch!! Need some help on pressing gas pedal?" or "Hey, this road is not your father's property so use it the way it is you son of a bitch". My screams mostly have "son of a bitch", "faggot", "bastard" or words like that and it becomes worse if the driver is woman because I call her "bitch" all the way down the road.

I was in a TvT on Xel'Naga Caverns. The guy expanded to his 3rd (instead of his natural). I harassed him all game, and defended a push of his. A couple minutes later he comes in to my 3rd with a Thor, a couple BCs, and some other stuff. I stim and focus down his BCs then his Thor.

He says "nigger" and leaves. Guess there was technically a "gg" in there...but still....

Anyway, I've basically given up on expecting common courtesy from people on the internet. Real life in Philly/South Jersey there's plenty of great people though. It's actually rather uncommon that somebody won't hold a door open or keep the elevator waiting and stuff. Maybe you should consider moving somewhere far away when you can (whenever you're out of college or whatever).

Tip: Decline every request unless you know who it is. If it's someone that you want to talk to, they'll find some other way to contact you, and then you can add them. Should save you a ton of time and frustration.
