Some People I Cannot Endure

This is going to be like another “rule-breaking” moment where I’m going to blog a post WITHOUT pictures. Yeah, you are right. A post where you are not going to see my picture and my ‘angled’ face =P

So what am I blogging about, you must be thinking. What type of people I really cannot endure? Of course, I’m not classifying or discriminating, or having prejudice regarding any race, cultures or different socioeconomic status people.

Part A - A Tale About Signals

I’m talking about drivers who do not know how to signal when they wanna turn, or cut across to another road. I mean, of course you can do it when there are no cars around you, AT ALL. But, if you are approaching a cross junction, there’s a car wanting turn but because you might go straight, he stopped, just because you didn’t signal, then I believe you are low-class. I mean, come on… is it really that hard to exert SOME pressure on the stick beside the steering to show that you are turning right, turning left and going straight?

Hmm, I really wonder. Of course, I don’t mean you YOU. It’s just a pronoun. I’m not talking about a certain someone, but drivers who do not signal when they should in general. I’m not insulting, seriously. I just really think, signals are there for a reason, definitely not just an extra ORANGE ORNAMENT THAT BLINKS on your car. Just a small effort, you can not only save people’s time and patience, you can also save lives. Really, accidents happen for many reasons - not signaling is one of them.

Part B - DotA Etiquette?

Just had another DotA game earlier, I suddenly felt sorry for some of the gamers there. I mean, in a DotA match, there’ll be winners and losers, no? No matter how good you are at DotA, you definitely had lost a game before. This is the routine of life, you can be talented, but you can’t be superbly skillful at something since you were born. Well, this story is about some people I was playing with a while ago.

Generally, I admit I’m not a pro player, I just enjoy DotA-ing for the fun of it. Just a game, nothing to be too mad at each other, nothing to be so proud of by winning. You can feel happy, duh, but not arrogant. It’s a courtesy, I believe, to say “gg” (good game) when a game ends. A game, after all, is just for fun. But when my teammate (we’re losing the game) said “gg” to the other team; they responded by saying, “Of course-lah, you all think you all can win-meh?”. I mean, I didn’t feel angry at them. I sympathize them. I’m guessing that the only time they can be arrogant is probably in-game, when their identity is hidden and it is in a game world. Compared to me, where I can be proud of my achievements in a real world (not being arrogant, just a metaphor).

Really, it is, just a game. They may have beaten us, but I have played against teams far more skillful compared to them. If they are world’s number 1, and they decide to be arrogant, then such is their life =) Not really my problem anyway. But this particular team, yeah, they beat us. But they are 100 light-years away from one of the strongest team I played against before. And this strong team, is much more friendlier than this not-so-strong team. I’m pretty pissed off because they ‘arrogant-ed’ my friend. But hey, I don’t really like scolding people. I probably replied something like:

“:) what we think is really none of your business, no? :)”

When we killed Roshan (some monster which will drop a cool item), they came to kill us, and said, “Roshan for what, noobs? Roshan so what?”

And i was like, “Er, we wanna Roshan, so?”, “er…so?”

I mean, in conclusion, they really did not state any points at all. They are just saying things to make themselves feel higher-class. Sadly, that only made them lower-class. If you want others to respect you, first respect yourself. That is life, no? =) After all, it’s just a game. What we play, is what we enjoy. If the game becomes your life, then… what becomes of your life?

It is a penny for all of us to ponder ^^

That’s all for my ranting today. Sorry if I offended anyone, but if you are any of those above, as long as I don’t see you do it, I guess I won’t hate you. =P Lolx, just joking. I mean, really don’t take it seriously. I just feel like ranting XD

But really, don’t be angry. It’s just a blog post, after all. =)
