Rant on something you can't do, #201

I may be outnumbered here, but I will share with you something that you can't do. You can't tell someone "Ooooooo, I know a secret but I'm not telling you." You can't do that. If you're the type of person who does this often, you should be shot.

Okay, you can, but you can't. You know what I'm saying here? I can forgive once or twice, but it's three strikes are you're out. Sorry, but them's the rules, kiddo.

I'll shoot you myself, so help me God.

Since you're on her friends list, you can read it here.

Wow, this is a pretty hateful entry... I didn't realize you of all people would care so much about the destination of a honeymoon.

I apologize for the hateful tone. But it's not I care about where you're going for your honeymoon as much as, well, getting annoyed by the "I know a secret that you don't" thing. I wish you and Josh a great time and a wonderful marriage.

Again, apologies on this hatefulness of mine.

I am so with you on this one. It is so damn power-proving, and annoys the piss out of me.

It's definitely high on my list of annoyances, maybe just under painfully perky people.

I think that type of statement is deplorable. I'd take the stand in your defense.

Indeed, the type of statement is deporable rather than the statement itself.

We ought to get the laws changed to allow the justifiable homicide of those who tell you they have a secret, but not the secret itself.

Hell, if they're talking about amending the Constitution to let Arnold become President, this should be a piece of cake.

But if we did that, we would no longer have a government. Cause you know, all the politicians would be die.

I don't know if you're outnumbered or not, but I find that annoying too.

We're in agreement, then.

I think the people who troll their secrets in that manner don't really want to keep the secret. If you were trying to keep something private, the first thing to do is to avoid mentioning it altogether.

Nah, these kinds of individuals just want to rub your nose in the fact that they are more informed than you are, and they will soon spill the beans. The info will just burst out of them, like the creature in 'Alien'. Without the lethal consequences, which is a pity.

You've hit the nail on the head.

Amen.

And hilariously said, if I may say so....
