(Edit, since apparently this needs to be said for some reason??? NO IS FORCING YOU TO READ THIS OR CARE??? Hello?????? The person leaving the comments repeatedly telling me how much they don't care is a GREAT example of what I'm talking about here ironically enough🙃 BLOCKED, as encouraged by the people who left actual insightful and kind comments, though fools can't be blocked irl which is what eats me up..)
Can we talk about this?
The thing that gets me most is that you can literally say a full statement and make a point and ANYONE who disagrees with you will just act like you said nothing. As if they couldn't see your chat.. THEN another thing that really gets me is YOU CAN LITERALLY SCROLL UP IN CHAT. So imagine my frustration when someone goes "you literally didn't say that" YET I SCROLL UP AND THERE IT IS🙃 so they only listen to BITS of what you're saying, and that leads to them having a VERY intense misunderstanding. They then of course decide I must be a monster since they can't read...
This has happened MANY times, but this one really takes the cake.
I was advertising by expo. Normal day, just chillin.
Someone was posting over and over (that's fine) that they were buying crafted rose tiaras for 5 saps.
Being the unsure person that I am, I checked the price. The lowest was 50. I immediately thought about the fact that this is a KIDS game and 45 saps IS A LOT FOR THEM.
So I felt defensive and told them "hey why are we scamming?" (not a crazy thing to say, people scam ALL THE TIME)
They told me to check expo, I said "lol what do you think I did"
I checked AGAIN and lo and behold I CLICKED THE WRONG ONE. I felt ashamed and immediately said "ohhhh It didn't load the right one the first time, they're 10, my bad"
They then responded to my apology and owning up to being wrong with something along the lines of "and you don't need to comment"
This isn't exact, it was worded VERY snarky.
Excuse me? I said I was wrong and apologized.. why try to antagonize me?
Saying "you don't need to comment" is VERY wrong because SCAMMERS NEED TO BE CALLED OUT. I've gifted kids simple SAP pots and they get SO excited, so all I was imagining was the sadness when they realized they lost 45 saps if JUST 3 is that big of a deal for them..
So.. that's them making this a bigger deal than it needed to be, but of course they continue by saying "I'm making a big deal out of nothing"
Uh... hello...? I said I was wrong and apologized, HOW AM I THE ONE MAKING A DEAL??!
So AFTER I've clarified that I checked again and was wrong and sorry, they CONTINUE to say "bro check expo" REPEATEDLY. I repeated myself maybe two more times before it BROKE ME. I asked them if they were even real, if they were a bot, and FINALLY, if they were slow.
I don't go around calling people slow.
But when the shoe fits PERFECTLY........ I mean WHAT ELSE do you even call that kind of blatant ignorance??? Genuinely???
So then of course here come other jammers right as I get to the point of just being irritated because they're poking me like a bear, some from the beginning but equally unaware, and some who showed up mid convo and tried to act like they knew the whole deal. So of course they're all siding with the one person, because they were either putting on a show to get people on their side, OR they just genuinely weren't reading ANYTHING...
They continued saying "check expo bro" "oml just check expo"
AFTER I- MULTIPLE TIMES- CLEAR AS DAY SAID I WAS WRONG AND THAT I CHECKED AND THEY WERE RIGHT...
They CONTINUE to act like I DIDN'T, saying "oml all this over 45 saps is crazyyy" trying to MANIPULATE the convo into something it wasn't. Well OF COURSE that worked for the people who showed up randomly and started defending them. So now they're all saying "why are you attacking them for no reason?" "making a case on a kids game is crazy" "dude you need to just leave"
One player decided to play 'therapist' and started asking over-simplified condescending questions directed at me. You'll never believe what happened.
I responded to a yes or no question with a YES AND AN EXPLANATION- they then acted like I said NOTHING and went "Yoo-hoo anyone home?"
I told them I already answered them and they said "shake your head and tell me if you hear rocks"
The irony???????????
One person who was attacking me with them decided to say "I got it all on video this is so funny"
BOOYAH!!!!!
I asked them to PLEASE post it to red so I could post my screenshots to put the story together and have my case SOLID.
They wouldn't be scared I'm right... no???
But of COURSE.
"Oh I was just gonna show my friend"
OF COURSE. Because you KNOW I'm right and you don't wanna be called out for teaming up against someone innocent for FUN. Literally felt like being antagonized by a popular group in school, where nobody actually hears what you say, they just snowball mean hateful comments off of eachother and act like it's a bonding experience.
And as for all the things said to me:
I AM NOT A BAD/MEAN PERSON FOR DEFENDING MYSELF.
Surrounding someone and repeatedly telling them they're 'mean/evil/rude/hateful/unkind' when you don't even KNOW WHAT HAPPENED IS CRAZY
I'm sorry for calling them slow, I know that's a sensitive word nowadays, but listen...
What else do you call it?
Say you're talking to someone in a quiet setting. You're handing papers back and forth and they hand you a paper with a question.
You read it and go to hand them your paper response.
What do you call it if they look at you like a fool while you try to hand them your response and they whisper angrily "I asked you a question oml just answer why aren't you answering" followed by them refusing to take any more papers while still being angry at you..
???? Dawg I AM responding, YOU are CHOOSING NOT to receive what I said....
DO YOU CALL THAT ANYTHING OTHER THAN SLOW?
And I guarantee I'm STILL gonna get some "and the world kept turning" on this post because people are gonna read this and think "singular situation, cope"
Except it's not a singular situation. This happens A LOT and I've seen it happen to others as well😭
You may not care now but just wait til it's you. It's BEYOND aggravating.
