8. (When asked for a choice between two options) I’m happy with either, you choose: I know what I want to do but don’t want to be responsible for you being bored.

Suzie Speaks 
I could relate myself to number 8
Thank you!
Oh dear, we’ve been rumbled!!!! I’ve used rather too many of these. Note to self : be more honest in future!!
Haha! I think that it’s necessary to use some of these to avoid hurting someone’s feelings, but wouldn’t it be nice to be able to say what we think without upsetting anyone!
These are spot on! hahaha! P.S. loving the new blog layout 🙂
Thank you! Really pleased you like it!
These are totally true!! Love this post!
Thank you!!
You’ve just about covered them all. There is also the woman’s reply of “Fine,” that means, “You’re absolutely wrong and selfish and being impossible, but I”m too pissed to talk.”
Haha – totally agree. I’m fine = I’m not fine, but you should know why and I’m going to keep you guessing until you figure it out and apologise…
I say exactly what I mean. This is probably why I have so few friends. Lol, kidding. I’ve found that my friend Chelsea and I say exactly what we mean and don’t hold back. I am not intentionally rude, but I’m not about to bullshit anybody!
I think I’ve learned how to do that better as I’ve got older – I’ve been taken advantage of on so many occasions, and now I stand up for myself…
I’m afraid to say anything because you might try to say I mean something else entirely! :p
Haha! What do you mean? 😉
I do 25. Sometimes necessary haha!
Absolutely!
Hilarious and truthy. I find the solution to this problem (for me) is to not interact with other people. If called out for my misanthropic tendencies, I politely explain “it’s not you, it’s me.”
(It’s you, totally.)
Haha! I totally agree with the non-interaction, it’s nice to be left alone isn’t it!
That was super awesome Suzie. When I began reading, I was thinking are you writing about Indians? 😛 Then I realized, we are all the same 😀
Thank you!
I think I am guilty of quite a few of those, especially the ones where I am fed up but don’t want to say anything! 🙂
It’s difficult to remain calm and keep quiet when really you want to rant isn’t it!
Yes, oh it certainly is!
These are so true. They made me chuckle in a guilty sort of a wa☺
Thank you!
Amusing, and highly relatable lol
P.S…I didn’t actually lol, there were smiles though, and some sniggering 😉
I can certainly take that – a smile is all i need haha!
