Pet peeves. Things where your inner instinct takes hold and grabs the situation by it's neck and snaps it.

Can you feel my seething disdain? Hah. It just occurred just over an hour ago. I'm not a jealous person by most standards in romantic affairs; I know the hold I am able to hold on a mate and find little to no reason for any worries. However.. at the current period of time I am sitting in my room and my anger is slowly boiling with more intensity by each passing moment.

My spouse and I were at the store picking up some food for my dreadfully handsome feline and a couple cosmetics that I wanted, and we were searching for a checkout aisle with a short line. All of the sudden as I'm walking one way I hear him say a name and turn the other way to say hi to somebody in a line. He didn't even give me a hint what to do, where to go, and what the he'll he was doing. He said the name quite happily and I see him hug this very pretty girl. At this point I was not annoyed.. But then he keeps talking, and I give a small wave from afar to the person that I HAVE NOT BEEN INTRODUCED TO NOR EVEN FREAKING ACKNOWLEDGED IN FRONT OF. I was deciding in my head whether to go into a new line instead of awkwardly *standing by one* and the store was packed. After a minute he happily trots away still freaking making conversation as he walks away.

He later told me the girl's name and assumed I remembered that she was an old coworker. Her name was Katelyn .. seriously am I supposed to remember a 'unique' name like that? May as well call her John Doe.

He went to work within 15 minutes of that whole BS. I'm not happy. Putting me in an awkward position and not introducing me to somebody in public (especially one that you make physical contact with) is embarrassing and demeaning.

Pet peeve.

What are yours?

he's still walking—— omg, i would have made a huge song and dance about that one but then i'm scorp and we are so into our drama luvvie, lol.

my pet peeve is drunk english people...men and women. when expat british drink in spain, which is every hour they aren't sleeping or working, they go for it hell for leather. i called a colleague yesterday as i was toying with the idea of joining a bunch of guys that evening...when they picked up the call, all i could hear was screaming and shouting (male and female) and then they launched into a raucous version of 'roxanne' (cos that's my name) and wondered why the fuck i hung up!! they were passing the phone around from pisshead to pisshead and i had no clue who i was speaking to or what they were saying.

i find it repulsive. hate english expats. the women are worse than the men for getting drunk and have no sense of dignity at all.

btw...i am not talking about young people here either!!! ewww...very vulgar.

the other thing that pisses me off with these people is that they say to me that they don't drink much so i ask how many drinks on average...the guys usually say that they 'don't drink much' during the working week...maybe just 5 or 6 bottles of beer and i am like OMG!!! that's not much??

to me...drinking like that during the week and bingedrinking at the weekend is exactly the same thing as being alcohol dependant. they must spend a fortune and more often than not, they end up losing phones and credit cards cos they're so drunk. some even have their KIDS present at the bars while they are getting shitfaced and teenagers get sucked in like it's some kind of club they have to be initiated into by their parents.

thanks for the rant thread sheathed. i feel soooooooooooooooo much better.

He didn't introduce his queen, left her standing like she was one of the minions - I'm surprised he is still standing let alone breathing 🙂 Spouse? did you get married sheathed?



Heheh, not yet. We've been engaged for a calendar and then some (17 months).

I say spouse because I don't like to use too many gender specific relationship terms (boyfriend, husband, etc) and fianc? sounds too 'bridezilla' sometimes. I was going to say 'mate' but that can also be read as 'friend', which he is... so I guess I could also say mate and have it apply!

I later sent him a very specific message telling him that the situation would not be repeated if he valued his safety. I know where it came from in honesty (sometimes he gets overwhelmed in public with too many people and unexpected happenings). He dislikes hates being caught off guard. If I had an ounce of insecurities though, we'd be having a different.. more legally toned discussion 🙂

Hi Sheathed that is so funny. It would not have bothered me in the least. Make no mistake I am not some super secure woman. I just don't care to be introduced and I usually don't introduce. I mean if we are standing right next to each other that is one thing. I would not however say "hey come meet my ...." to anyone ever. I would cut him some slack especially if you do suspect anything funny going on.

Pet peeve-Unsolicited advice of any kind. " Well if I were you" or " U know what you should do" Hate it !

am i the only one that wouldn't be bothered by the nonintroduction?

running into people at the store you haven't seen in awhile, is nice but kind of sucks sometimes. it's totally impromptu and i'm such a socially inept creature at times (I totally embrace this as a positive, don't pity me!!!! 😄), i've gone out of my way to avoid people i know (run down the other aisle...LMAO) because it's awkward. especially if i don't talk to them on a regular basis.

or i'll circle the store trying to remember their name and ONLY THEN will i approach them if they don't approach me first.

i'm horrible with names. i've not introduced the person i'm with at times, because it was horribly awkward that i didn't remember this persons name...and then how do you get out of that? "um, so and so, this is so and so....and you are?" LOL

plus....if it's a quick "hi, hug, bye", what's the point? you aren't going to see them again until a few years later when you happen to run into them again. *shrugs*



OMG elle!! at first i was thinking how much i disagreed and then i read about forgetting names and realised i do EXACTLY the same in that situation. sometimes, i'm not even thinking about what they're saying for trying to recall their name. so rude...you can't exactly say...'meet err.....what's your name again?'. what's worse is that everyone remembers mine cos i'm the only one with my name around these here parts.

but from sheathed's point of view, i would still be pissed off....just cos my man was talking to a pretty girl...introduction or not...but i prolly wouldn't show it.

oh yeah...guys get very pissed off if you talk to another man without introducing them...very, very much.

and if she's ugly? that's WORSE elle cos she probably has something more dangerous...like INNER beauty.

i'm not that great at faces either. when my son came back to spain to visit after just 3 months of being in england, i went to meet him at the airport and didn't recognise him!! in the end i recognised his SUITCASE first and then bells started ringing, lol.

i didn't mention it to him...the shame was too great.

I find that I originally was very very enraged (trust me, I felt that it was all in my Lioness 'pride' HHAHAHAHA GET IT? but really, it was a Lion anger). However, after cooling down for a little bit, I did take into part that he is NOT socially 'impromptu', by any means. He probably was avoiding her anyway, but she called out his name first.

I also have an extremely extremely unique name as well. Usually only my shortened name is remembered however, which is Shay (I don't know what it is but it seems people in the USA are horrific with pronouncing any foreign sounding names). Personally, I rarely remember the names of anything - even if it is something that I really like. I forget names of food, stores, people, places, songs, artists, concepts, etc etc etc... but I will NEVER forget every single detail of what the noun contains, with all 5 senses.. and then some.

I have a memory in which I will try to remember a thread of information from my past. Within a couple minutes, I am able to recite where I was sitting, what was going on, the senseless little thoughts I had in my head at the time, my mood, the weather, and every variable of the situation. Very tactile and 'sense oriented'.

Pretty is subjective, but we tend to have the same taste concerning attraction. On a side note, we made love the other night and I've never been told that I'm beautiful and sexy that many times in one moment. It was very intense, and quite honestly the biggest ego boost for me. I've been dealing with some things in my personal life which has translated into negative image of self for various reasons. And despite feeling so dumpy and frumpy - he looked right into my eyes and got real serious. He said, 'You are the definition of gorgeous and the sexiest woman in the world. With or without makeup, no matter how long you've gone without dying and cutting your hair, even when you're covered with blood sweat and tears, you always seem to leave me speechless with how raw your sensual appeal is'.

-sigh- He's an awesome man.

If the situation was reversed... he would probably follow the guy once I was distracted and rip his throat out, regardless of how I knew the person. For some reason he only becomes jealous of males, despite my nonconforming sexuality and views on gender. But that's his prerogative. 🙂

me too 🙂

my memory can be equated to snapshots and then the senses revolve around that.

names are just irrelevant "fluff" 😛

Exactly! Names don't tell one anything anymore. Sure, if you trace names to country of origin and last names to their literal translation.. sometimes they tell a story. But in these days where witness protection, legal name changes, and mixed families of multiple children and marriages - there's nothing but a mildly unique reference to call somebody by.

I'm the only person in the world with my exact full name, but that's not the usual case.

Names explain nothing and only contain trivial nonsense. My first name means 'fairy forest' or 'fairy place'. It's a very Gaelic name in origin. But then again I have multiple names within my name and all of different origin. It's not a class symbol unless one is a multimillionaire and of old money. Stupid names.

no elle...i was joking really to be honest. i have never felt threatened by a woman in my life. i have probably too much confidence sometimes and i understand my strengths and weaknesses and so it's not a case of thinking i'm great, more a case of understanding where i'm not so great, lol.

but nevertheless, i think there is a certain protocol to be followed when you're in a relationship and you should treat eachother with the same respect you accord others. that includes introducing someone that you are chatting with...doesn't matter if it's male or female either...it's the principal. it shows big disrespect (imo) to engage in something with someone while your other half is kind of dangling on the periphary.

the reason i feel that way is because the aries i was with for years always treated me differently to how he would his friends and to me, exemplified his complete lack of respect for me. i would make a suggestion to him which he would dismiss....one of his friends (including women) would make the same suggestion and he would report it back to me like they had made a fucking revelation.

it's not sexual jealousy as such.....do you know what i mean? 🙂

sheathed: shay is such a cool name!!! reminds me of moby dick but...LOL. and btw, can you refrain from giving so much lovely romantic information on this board? keep in mind the singletons...eh??

Hey Sheathed,

So we are both Leo Suns with Scorpio Moons and Venus in Virgo and get this ...my name is Shay ! I promise. How funny or strange.



SO WEIRD! Is your first name just Shay or is it also from a longer Gaelic derived name?

Just for the massive awesome of our coincidental matching variables, I'm adding you to my favorite people..

THIS BLEW MY MIND hah!

Rude. That is all I can say about that. I would have been furious. The fact that he was touching her too and didn't introduce me. O M G. You have every right to be upset. The first thing a man should do is "Hello (insert name). Nice seeing you again. This is my fiance (insert name)." Blah blah. You think some guys would know better.



Hah, I know right? If it was anybody else that I was dating I'd be still pissed off and hunting down some prey!!

However, I've known him long enough and deeply enough to know his actions weren't anything but his default reaction to the unexpected. It's actually very reflective within his chart. He only holds 1 Fire sign (Sagittarius in Mercury) and 1 Air sign (Libra Rising). The rest of his planetary placements are Water and Earth. He's easy going and a positive charge in his first appearances and he truly enjoys going out in public on dates, group dates, and with friends. But when he 'reacts' to the unexpected he goes into that default 'communication' mode that Air and Fire thrive within. Once it's over and social courtesies are given, he's needing to recharge. He's magnetic to others but he's easily over-stimulated when a situation goes down that involves other people and is unplanned and unsuspected. Actually - he's so neurotic at times... he's definitely that 'I've made a plan but just in case that fails, there's also a Plan B, B2, C, D, D2, etc..' type of guy.

But yeah initially I almost tore out his trachea with my bare hands.. but I think that's my Leo Rising and Scorpio Moon talking 😉

Him and I both share Virgo Moons and had a healthy conversation about it later on that night. And at the time - I didn't know her boyfriend was also there next to her (and he wasn't introduced either - went very quickly).

Xin, I forget your Moon.. is it Scorpio or was it just another reason I'm always seeing you in the Scorpio forum? (mmorpg guy?)

I'm the same way in that setting. I have no earth in my chart, so I have no "plan b". LOL 😛

A few weeks ago I was grocery shopping and ran into a friend I hadn't seen in ages. Really nice guy. I approached him first, after I made sure it was him and I remembered his name (lol) and we chatted for a minute. He was shifting from one foot to the next (I notice everything..sometimes I hate that) and then he asked for my number. I happily gave it to him, it would be nice to catch up.......and then he asked me out......for THAT evening. I flippin froze.

WAY TOO MUCH GOING ON RIGHT THERE.

I fumbled with words in my head until I heard myself say..."No thanks, I have plans. Maybe some other time" (I totally had zero plans 😕).

smh.

impromptu sucks for me. sucks boulders. especially in a social setting.
click to expand




THAT'S EXACTLY HIM. Hah! So you lose the 'grounding' while he loses the 'unpredictable flow of air and fire' with impromptu social experiences. Very interesting how the slight tilt of balance with different missing variables share a similar presentation within specific situations 🙂

Hmm hmmm.

I'm without any planetary Air placements but my Fire helps with engaging socially (especially the Rising Leo) and my abundance of Virgo brings me more 'here and now'. I'm not great with the unexpected socially, but I'm able to handle it most times (unless a particularly Fire-y or Watery day 😉 )

Thank you for that input - got me thinking 🙂

Actually my moon and rising are both Libra. Yes I do like to stalk the Scorpio forum and yeah it was because of MMORPG guy, but he is gone. Had to slam the door on that with a swiftness. His Cap moon wasn't helping him very much. But I do like to spend a little time with people I don't seem to understand (which is Scorpio's). So I'm still trying to figure it out. Much confusion on my side. Im sure they say the same about us air signs. I also like to creep around the Leo forum. I love Leos

Well as a Gem.. I wouldn't expect any less than an unceasing thirst for knowledge & understanding through incessant curiosity from you! 😉

I'm 1000x times relieved to hear you've walked far away from him. Good for you 🙂

.... Am I seriously being asked to filter my words just because there are those without a mate around? How does that even make sense? Do I ask anybody to refrain from giving details about the dates they're having and their flings - and rather to 'keep in mind' those 'chained' within long term relationships?



no i am not seriously asking anything of the sort sheathed.....i was joking?

so don't get your knickers in a twist luv ok? 🙂

It didn't read as such through text. Sometimes I read words without any personal inflection from the second party source. So if there is ever a lighter or less serious tone in response to me, try to make it obnoxiously obvious (seriously, lol). Otherwise our messages will get crossed and neither one of us will be on the same page. 🙂 😛

It's one of my unchangeable quirks; trust me - I've tried!!
