People Who Cannot Be Bothered

“These are troubled times we live in. I, myself, am always looking for new friends (especially friends who backpack). One can never have enough friends IMHO

What do you say to someone who says 'I cannot be bothered.'”

“Nothing. Why waste your energy? There are so many others who can and will.”

“If they say that, they aren't the person you want to hang with.”

“Depends what they can't be bothered with.”

“Oh nevermind

It's just that somebody from TT recently told me they 'can't be bothered'”

“Oh well, their loss not yours.”

“chin up biz!”

“Is this really Ice Tea in disguise, bitching about ICQ people on "invisible" again???

We LOVE YOU, Ice Tea!!!”

“OR, I'd say, "Were you attempting to talk to Bacpac?"”

“No, a real actual live person lizs

that's why it's so disheartening”

“Bummer. They could have put it more politely by explaining they don't feel like backpacking this weekend, or had a rough week and just wanna sit home and hit the bottle, or whatever. But "I can't be bothered" sounds like they don't like you.”

“Well, that's a given Steve hiker

not everyone is gonna like everyone

But 'I cannot be bothered'

That's pretty harsh

I am just gonna keep bringing it up for a couple days...don't mind me”

“Sorry Biz, I didn't know that it was directed to you. Their loss.”

“Can't be bothered with what??”

“Who can't be bothered to backpack? Forget 'em! They stay home.”

“What's the big deal? If someone doesn't want to be your friend, get over it.”

“Biz,
Don't let it get you down. This has been a hell of a week for everyone. I'm sure that most of us have gotten under the skin of someone with our posts. Just give them some time, they'll get over it.

BTW, in the past my rule has been not to post to non backpacking related threads. This week I have broken my own rules. I am too quick tempered to discuss topics such as some of the ones that have come up this week. I do cool back down quickly as well.”

“Thanks Leather”

“Kinda hard to understand why anyone wouldn't like you Biz. I think your pretty hip myself. Course I tend to get along with most everybody. Hang in there. You got plenty of friends here on TT. Don't let one person get ya down.”

“Hip is cool

Colorado?
I'd love to backpack in Colorado!

(sigh)......Its a long way from Baltimore”

“To someone who says they can't be bothered to go bp'ing I say... Fine! Sit on your duff in front of the computer lost in your own little cyberworld. I'm going hiking!!!
Chin up m'dear... there's lots of us who'd love to hike with you! :o)”

“Biz: You will never hear ME say that, girl.

Let's go sometime.”

“Is it to late for me to say I`m sorry? Please forgive me? I don`t know what came over me and made me say such a thing to you.

I guess I just have a way with women, I got Lizs mad enought to beat me too and all I did to get that started up was to tell her I`d much rather have a good tongue lashing! That got her to talking dirty to me, wow,...priceless!LOL

Alright,... none of that is true and I hope I`m not the one that didn`t have the time to bother you,...er,.. bother with you!LOL”

“Damn BigFoot, You had me goin for a min.! LOL!!!”

“most people love it when i 'bother' them

all hot & bothered

don't bother me none

Usually when someone's bothering you it means they like you Ü”

“the other side of the fence is that if someone's bothering you it usually means you can't stand them. All depends what side of the fence your sitting on.”

“null”

“Don't bother me None

Anybody catch that double negative?

= I want you BADDDD!!!!

ha, ha just messing around”

“i can't be bothered with threads like this.”

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!”

“lizs wants me BAAAAD!!!”

“If they can't be bothered, I Sure don't bother with them. It's kindof like what you said about trust, Biz. I give people the benefit of the doubt, sometimes twice, but those repeat offenders... *GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*”

“Ok, here's the exact wording..

"dont be such an ass on TT yes were all getting a little sick and tired of people like you that want to come on here and talk trash on TT. Dont bother me again!"

Well. *huff* OK, YOU. I came to TT for the same reasons (probably) you did. To meet people to backpack with. For stimulating conversation and to LAUGH. Enuff said.”

“whoa!”

“hey!

quit quoting me!”

“Probably the best way to win over people like that is to start an underwear thread or something.”

“Under where?”

“Biz, you sound like a really nice person, but you really have a problem if you expect everyone to want to be your friend, especially online.

"don't worry, be happy"”

“Hey Biz, aren't you really newgirl?LOL”

“good grief.

There's no use worrying about those people -- just let 'em slide on by...”

“Devil: be a part of the problem, not the solution Biz..

Angel: no! you don't want to end up like Gear Slut, Biz..

(if I knew HTML this would all be in italics)”

“Do this Ms.Biz...

< I > Whatever you want to say in italics < / I > ..but don't space the characters.”

“I have no online buddies and that really hurts my frail sensibilities..."waaaa, waaaa!"”

“Stop being a wiener Gear Slut!”
