Top 5 lines you shouldn't say.

5. “Just be yourself”
How to score at a job interview? How to chat up someone of the opposite sex? How to get the professor to notice you in class? Chances if you had asked your friends this question, they might have told you to “just be yourself”. Of course common sense and logic tells you that people will like you for what you are, so no point faking it. The girl will like you for being you. Your boss will think that you are quick witted and creative and promote you. Or your professors might love you for being yourself, when other students are attempting to score brownie points.

Looks like logic just flew out of the window.

When people tell you this, you know who never to ask for advice when you have other issues in the future. “Oh dear, I seem to have cancer.” Cool, just be yourself. Being yourself isn't going to solve problems. In fact, if people hated you, it's most likely because you were “being yourself” in the first place.

4. “LOL”
LOL means laughing out loud in internet terms. It was supposed be mean that you are laughing in reply to what people are saying. But, nowadays people punctuate their instant messaging sentences with LOL, just to assure you how funny you are to make them laugh out loud in front of their laptops. (Even if it's in the middle of class) That's all right actually. I use it all the time too.

What irk me are people actually physically, in front-of-my-face, actually using their mouth to say the letters L, O and L. Yes, when by right, they should be busy laughing. IT DOESN”T MAKE SENSE! Once I overheard a guy saying that, and almost punched him, but was afraid that the society of retards and morons might sue, so I stopped myself in time. Luckily for me, or else I might be sentenced to jail for animal abuse. Or worse, fined.

3. “Let's just be friends.”
Do I really need to explain this?

2. “I hate techno”
Because one day, a crazy guy might just decide kidnap you and then tie you up and proceed...... to force you to listen to 3 hours straight of non-stop mega mix. But of course, that's just hypothetically speaking.

1. “Hu le.”
For those who don't understand hanyu pinyin, it means to win the mahjong game. Especially if I am the one throwing out the winning tile. No one except for me should even be allowed to say that. No one except for Angus that is, coz there is a 70% chance that he is anyhow pushing his tiles down either to make us laugh at him or just to give us money. My gut feeling tells me it's both of them.

Don't you hate it when you get freaking good tiles, and somehow lady luck just wants to play you out at the last minute? I am sure everyone has that kind of day, with the possible exception of Neo who has amazingly incredible devilish luck. Bet he wears 3 layers of red underwear, that bastard. Disclaimer, I am not a sore loser. But don't point fingers at me when the table gets flipped in your face.






I should really be mugging instead.
