Exasperation


Addendum: This has nothing much to do with anything I normally write about, but I feel it is just too good a piece of news not to help spread.

AGGGH! Crush him with the power of your mind! The only thing that could have made things worse would be if he used emotocons!

Highly irregular, sir!

Man I wish it had been a translation issue, but it wasn't. The guys was just one of many people I've met, not just in film with surprising numbers in that niche anyways, who are addicted to text message shorthand which is itself a kind of bastard child of internet shorthand and it's cousin, l33t speak.

Generally you can count on these people not to be very good listeners and to exhibit ADD symptoms.

Voila.

I nearly send back a snarky message BUT I HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO.

HHHHHH

I thought it was an accurate representation of that particular emotion! I thought this.
