At least, I don't think. I wouldn't know because I'm not a lesbian and hate getting called one since my childhood reasonings. @Suicune's Fire is this how lesbians work? Do you just ignore other females all together and the only girl you hang out with is your lesbian girlfriend? Because I could be very wrong but I'm pretty sure this is not how this works!
    Um, I don't know. xD I mean, we're not a culture. We're just regular people. xD I hang out with my female friends and my male friends equally. In fact, when I'm just with my girlfriend, I think most people assume we're just friends. xD I mean, girls can get away with a whole lot more than guys can. We can giggle and hug and stand within a close vicinity and people think it's a normal friendship. But if guys do that, then there's no question, ya know? xD I just do whatever. I mean, people make assumptions that my brother and I are together (ew) if we are with one another so it goes both ways.

So where do people get the idea that something like that makes it so? Since when does it go from "two guys hanging out and doing fun stuff" to "a gay date?"

    Man, and some people wonder why no one wants to leave the house anymore.
    I get what you mean, but this happens waaaaaaaaaay more if there's a girl hanging out with a guy. Considering heterosexual relationships are much more common, I think that it's far more common for someone to assume that two friends of the opposite gender are romantically involved than two friends of the same gender. I mean, heck, I have a close male friend who I've known for six/seven years, and his FAMILY thought we were dating... xD Simply because I was a female friend. It wasn't until about a year ago that that was cleared up, haha.

    No-one wants to leave the house? xD Come on. That's taking it a bit far. Even if there were assumptions that you were romantically involved with the person you go out with (female or male), that's not a reason to stay at home. I don't care who thinks I'm with who! xD It's their problem, not mine.

    There is one thing on this earth that I hate more than anything else.

    Mothers with wide pushchairs. Even worse, mothers with wide pushchairs that also have children clinging onto the side.

    When I was at school, I used to walk along a main road to get there. The pathway along this road was made of half pedestrian walk way, and half cycle path, and together they were pretty wide. But every morning I encountered a woman with a metre wide twin pram, who also had two more children walking in parallel with her. Together they took up the ENTIRE two metre wide pathway. Cyclists would have to swerve into the road to avoid them, and I watched them refuse to move for a man in a wheelchair once so he was also forced into the traffic.

    I don't understand why someone would think their oversized family are more important than someone's safety?? Most paths in England are pretty small, a large pushchair is just such a bad idea.

    OH MY GOSH THAT IS HILARIOUS BUT ALSO RIDUCLOUS AND GOBSMACKING. Oh my gosh. xD I have never encountered this! And they refused to move for an impaired man? Holy crap. That's just ridiculous. xD I don't get why they can't just go "hi child, can you please walk behind me when we encounter another pedestrian? kthxbai" Like it's not hard. xD The world shouldn't bow to mothers and their kids. Just wow.

    Oh, I just meant that to be funny in a comical "losing faith in humanity" kind of way. Personally, I wouldn't ever hole myself up at home in fear of what a few pissy strangers might think. I find stupid people could be there no matter where you go, and the good news is the first time you run into them is usually the last time you run into them.

    Holy cow. This world is far more doomed than I thought it was.

    Honestly, the only thing that bugs me, and Jan can vouch for this because we've had a few arguments over it, is when I try to have a conversation about something, and someone wants to turn it into an argument, usually religion.

    You see, Jan is Catholic and I lean Baptist, though I don't actually attend church anymore because most of them in the area are having issues. I get mine straight from the King James Bible, while she gets hers from whatever Bible she uses with more books than mine, so there are places where the extra books or missing books (depending on where you want to side with that one) in our Bibles actually cause differences. The thing is, I personally enjoy learning about religion, Christianity of all kinds, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. and when I learn something about her views, I try to have a conversation to reason it out, not to try to change her mind or change mine, neither thing is going to happen, but just for the sake of studying the two different views. But there are some things where I have unknowingly hit a wrong button, and because it's all in text I couldn't tell it was as bad as it was, and it just kinda annoyed me how she took it so hard and at the same time didn't let me know just how bad it was until... I think it was the next day. Since then, we've ironed out that issue, but it could, and likely will, happen again, and be just as annoying for the two of us.

    Customers that take things from one area and then throw them in the freezer aisle because they decided they didn't want them. Like, I'm proud you put it in a refrigerated area, but c'mon man, why did you put that gallon of milk, or that carton of eggs in the freezer? That ruins the product guys, please don't do this. I've once found four rolls of biscuits in the freezer that had already exploded because some customer thought it was a great idea to just throw them in there.

    People who shove their religion down everyone else's throats like god having been in a Christian educational institute for like twelve years, I've met all these kind of ilk that put their faith to shame. Do you have to quote whatever verse in every conversation you have? Do you have to link every goddamn topic to some thingamajig about spirituality? Must you caption your shallow-*** Instagram picture with some "poetry" about your relationship with your God and whatnot? Like whatever, I'm so done with these people.

    Grammar Jews. As a Grammar Nazi, I want to nuke every dimwit out there who can't differentiate you're and your, affect and effect, and what have you not. DID YOU NOT GO TO SCHOOL? And speaking of languages, I hate it when people are talking in a different language all of a sudden in front of me like I don't exist. Hella rude. Would you like it if I spoke three languages within one sentence?

    People who are so over-sensitive. NOBODY IS OFFENDING YOU. YOU AIN'T WORTH OFFENDING (BECAUSE NOBODY CARES ENOUGH ABOUT YOU TO DO THAT). STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM CARD. It's fake and it's disgusting and I think you are nothing but a degenerate craving attention. Stop tying your panties all the time and just relax. Also if you think someone is coming for you, maybe the problem lies within your own insecurities and inferiority complex.

    People who can't stand it when they hear someone criticize something or someone they like. Everyone has different tastes. I don't care if mine disagrees with yours. (Mine's probably better anyways.) To each his own, and I really can't give two ****s if you want to hate on what I like to 'get back at me'.

    I was just reminded of this while watching YouTube videos.

    I am going to punch the next idiot who posts "Darude - Sandstorm" on a video. It's never been funny. And it's annoying when I'm actually trying to find the name of a song.

    Being told I'm small, being told I'm small and, oh, being told I'm small. It's like damn people, I know already YOU DON'T HAVE TO POINT IT OUT. XD

    Also glaringly bad typos (makes my eyes twitch ;n;), people who walk terribly slow and then proceed to make use of the entire isle/footpath, stupid drivers that cut in front of others or just stop randomly. Or the ones that brake every two seconds for no reason! Being caught in rain outside when it's cold and, to an extent, being asked what grade I'm in. xD Although that's more funny than anything...

    I don't know if this is unique to London/the UK, but recently this has really annoyed me: People who hand out their mixtapes

    Congratulations on making music, you should be really proud. But please don't stop people in the street trying to get them to buy it!!!! This happens to me and my boyfriend all of the time because he always wears a Drake hoodie, so they zone in on him like flies to poop. We either have to straight up ignore them, or have to spend five minutes explaining that we "don't have any money". They also go up and down gig queues, which is even worse because you're trapped so you can't just ignore one!!

    I don't like being stopped in the street for anything though. I keep being stopped by ladies asking if I want to become an Avon representative which is really weird.
