Who?!?!

there's one kind of people i really detest. ok...so there's lots of kinds of people i detest, but this is one of them.

have you ever gotten a call from someone who just refuse to tell you who they are. when you ask who, they go "guess..." or "teka lahhhhh..." or best yet "takkan tak ingat kot...". i think you are the one who tak ingat, cos if you ingat, you would remember that i dont have the patience for this nonsense.

another type is those who go "hi, you probably dont remember me..." and proceed to go into a lengthy grandmother's story about where they were born, when they had their first tooth, where they buy their toothpaste, leaving out the most crucial information...the name!!

and one who goes..."i was in your class", or "we went to the same dentist", or "i stopped at the red lights next to your car 20 years ago" or provides some insignificant detail of how you met in your previous lives, and expect you to just *ting-ting* hey...i remember!!

or picked up a call for someone who is not around and the caller just say "tell him, his friend called". uhuh...and that would be..."just say, its his friend" rightttttt. the most common reply i've heard is, well obviously a friend, an enemy wouldnt normally call. but my mom once said "kesian nyaaaa...sorang je kawan dia ye???" and the airhead on the other side replied "tak...dia banyak kawan" while still not getting that my mom's waiting for her name. ok, if i hit this phone to the wall, will you feel pain on the other side?

i really dont understand this kind of people. why is it so difficult for you to say your name? are you not proud of who you are? or do you think the other person wont want to remember you? if they dont, then just move on.

there is a possibility the person genuinely dont remember you from adam, so introducing yourself properly would make it less awkward for the both of you. if the person still doesnt remember, then why not start anew. its not the end of the world if a person doesnt remember. what good is there, holding on to a small thing like someone genuinely not remembering you and making up stories just to make yourself feel better. if she doesnt remember, than she doesnt remember. be an adult and move on.

maybe you'll feel embarassed initially, that someone doesnt remember you. but it will pass. and its certainly better than irritating the daylights out of someone by acting like a kid and going "ingat tak? ingat tak? ingat tak?"
