Today I invited some friends into my room, which is a rare event for me, but then he commented about the untidy state of the room just after asking for a favor and so I said "no" to his request and threw him out. And then I went straight to sleep.

My question is "why"? Why did he feel the need to criticize my room even though he knew my likely reaction? Why couldn't he stifle himself at least until he got what he wanted from me first? And why did I react with as much anger as I did, despite the fact that I'm not supposed to care at all?

When someone accuses me of being an "atheist" as if it's a crime, I just smile and explain to the person that I am right and he is wrong and that is all there is to it. When someone calls me a loner, I'm amused and I make the person understand that I'm just trying to avoid people like him.

But when someone calls me a dropout, or accuses me of being untidy, my blood boils. Why is this? I mean, if I don't care about having a degree enough to go back to school to get one, why am I upset when someone reminds me that i don't have one. And if I don't care about tidiness enough to keep my living environment tidy, why am I upset when someone criticizes me about it?

Also, I stopped talking to someone recently for saying I'm yet to produce my first movie at a bad time. When I told him the same applies to him, he just laughed and called me "oversensitive". So I've stopped talking to him. Why? Why do people call me oversensitive and why does it make me even more angry? Also, Razorr woke up one day to tell me that Nairaland is "a junkyard" or something. Why was she surprised when I decided to ban her? Did she not expect this? If not, am I just calibrated differently? If so, why did she feel compelled to say such a thing?

And why am I not upset about other things I get criticized for just as regularly? I really want to know.

How did you guys get the Starcomms data card? Did you have to go to their head office?

South Africa is the worst. What a pity.

Nigerian programmers are as good as NEPA allows them to be.

Those suicidal youths need anti-depressants, I guess.

as a web master you should be a able to work anywhere, abi no be computa you dey use?

If I'm working, then it's not a vacation. I may as well stay at home and eat ice cream and chicken on Xmas day.

Hmmm. What a story. Guess you need to sweet talk her into realizing that you are not worth the trouble.

Men, I'm ready to pack all my possessions and move to Lagos just in order to enjoy this broadband o.

It is not alright. Every living thing strives to live as long as possible, even in the face of tremendous hardship. only when you are suffering from depression does suicide begin to seem like an attractive option.

The poor baby is going to be messed up. That's the problem. Even grown parents have their shortcomings.

Tell me which primary school or secondary school in Nigeria distributes condoms to students?

If Jamie lee Spears' boyfriend had used a condom, she would not have gotten pregnant.
This is a result of her failure to take the precautions that sensible girls are expected to take.

If 'RAM emulators' could work in place of memory,
they would be bundled with every new computer.

The fact about Bree that we should not forget is that she's a bad mother. Please don't imitate her.

A banker is someone who is employed by a bank, especially but not necessarily an executive or officer.

98% of the class of girls you move with?

Hello Finecat: Really? Wow. What bank was that? I wish I could do the same sometimes!

I think you're missing the whole point of instant noodles by giving yourself all this stress!!

It's your choice. The funny thing is that
you can get a better job elsewhere or start your own business,
but you can't get married or find a new husband that easily.
Also, your boss can sack you at any time, for any reason.
A career you don't control is not worth any personal sacrifices.

Using a 'FAKE name' to register a company is criminal.

Can you quite the relevant section of the constitution to back up that claim?

It doesn't cost you anything to post the source, so please make sure you do this next time.

This is surprising because girls don't like beards, as a rule.

I woo some sweet chics but because of my profession, they are afraid to lay with me.

Anyone who woos more than one girl at the same time and tries to sleep with them all is a flirt, and more.

Have you been tested for malaria and typhoid fever?

Something as sensitive as this and no source?

I'm just trying to share what I think would go through the mind of a webmaster who comes across your service.

folahann!

For corruption to be history, we have to be prepared to die.

How so?

Be careful - the rate may still be the same as what they were charging for GPRS!
