I went to the pool today. I was sitting on the stairs and on the edge of the 3 ft. because I can't get my hair wet. I've got twists which is basically dreadlocks except they use hair gel and if you get the gel wet it comes off and messes up the twist. A few people accidentally splashed me once and it wasn't that big of a deal and they apologized. But there was this one a-hole that didn't get I was trying to be nice and ask him politely not to splash me. He just kept doing it on purpose. Not like full on splash but he would come close and do something to make a splash. So I cursed at him 2x and he left me alone. Why couldn't he do that when I was being nice?
Some people spend a bit too much time looking for subtext when there really isn't any. You said, "Don't splash me." You meant, "Don't splash me." He thought, "Oh, he actually WANTS me to splash him." He thought it was a fun or flirty thing, so he kept it up until you finally got pissed at him. At which point he realized he was wrong the entire time. Lex
No lex... You said "dont splash me" You meant "dont splash me" He heard "I WANT TO GIVE YOU ATTENTION!!!" aha
Idk what that kids deal was. I don't think he was doing it because he wanted to give me attention though. I have a feeling he was just trying to push my buttons.
Oh! It took me a second to figure out what you meant. He could have just said my name or splashed someone ELSE (lol) if he wanted my attention. Unless he only wanted negative attention; which would be weird.
Some people are so desperate for attention, that they don't care what they have to do to get it. Some people just respond better to aggression and anger. Some people are just dumbasses.
