With 2006 almost over, what high profile individual/s (be it from entertainment, politics, religion, etc.) most irritated and annoyed you this year (compared to others) and please give a valid (serious or humorous) reason why, for each person/s named.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
What high profile people most irritated you in 2006 and why?
- Thread starter BDuncan
- Start date
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Every politician who used attack ads when running for office. Instead of talking about why you should vote for them they just tell you why you shouldn't vote for their opponent. Madness... :crazy:

yo k-fed is doin good in WWE bro
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Me, for being such a great guy, a superior human being, and an extraordinary example of humanity at its best.
My greatness sometimes irritates me!

Talking of WWE, I am going to say Vince McMahon for fvcking up ECW and making wrestling a big joke and using it to promote racism and political propoganda! TNA is where it's at now!
(I'm a secret wrestling fan btw, but don't tell anyone)
Of course, the US government must go on this list, but that's politics and has no place on here.

That's the way to do it though. Anyone can say I'm a good canidate for office because I'll wh0re out the country's money to (insert a bunch of special happy thoughts here), but really in secert, I plan to multiply the nuke collection in Alaska.
So, why do something that's been tried? So, that's why you say 'Don't vote for him because he hates little boys'. It's more effective.
