No really, why should I care? You tell me over and over and OVER about how this person sucks and how you can’t stand being around them and all their faults and mistakes and bad habits and blah blah blah. SHUT UP!!! Just shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! I get the point the first 5649 times you mentioned it, but now it’s just getting obsessive! ---

I don’t know… you’re pretty thick, I think I have to tell you at least 5672 times for you to get it. That’s it though. ---

People who are happy all the time are frequently annoying to others. If your friend is bitching about her SO while you are single she may think she’s helping. You might be able to get her to shut up by earnestly offering her your help in moving to a domestic violence shelter, or setting him up with your cousin. ---

You should care because I am a person of such wisdom and refined discernment that, if I say that someone or something sucks, it sucks for sure. Such attitude! You should be thankful that I even talk to you at all. ---

I always assume that anyone who spends all thier time bitching to me about how much they hate X probably spends all thier time with X bitching about me. What else would they have to talk about? It’s like people that divulge sexual quirks of thier previous lovers to any and all comers. Do these people not realize that potential lovers are hearing this and realizing that they would get the same treatment? ---

And I bet she wishes she had someone _just like_ you, Louie. Only NOT you, since you’re suck good friends and all… ---
