My own meme, what I created.

[dalekboy]

I figured it was time to create a meme that challenged people a bit.

The "I Annoy You" meme

If you regularly put memes up on your blog, then you are obliged to do this one. In reaction to the many inconsequential or feel-good memes out there, what is it you hate about me? What is it about me that really ticks you off and makes you want to strangle me? Makes you roll your eyes and wish I'd just go away? Please feel free to post anonymously if you wish, so long as you are honest. The only catch is, if you can dish it out you have to be able to take it. Once you've replied, you must put this meme in your journal.

And please, don't post if all you're going to say is "But there's nothing I hate about you."

All comments will be screened, naturally.

Cheers,
Danny

Fair comment. As has been pointed out to me, I can come across as loud and forceful even when I'm actually (to me) being open and ready to listen. And in those cases it doesn't matter how I'm wanting things to be, what matters are what people perceive is happening - that I'm asking for ideas but only out of politeness, my mind's already made up and I'm not going to listen.

Of course my question is, if I've asked for suggestions and no one says anything, how long am I supposed to sit on my own thoughts, waiting? I find other people's inertia infectious and if I'm not careful, I end up doing nothing as well. I have watched months go by with nothing happening because no one was responding to any of a number of 'what should we do about this?' questions.

I do want other people's ideas and opinions, despite how I may come across. If I thought I knew it all, I wouldn't bother asking in the first place.

Thanks for the comment. It is actually nice to have someone really make use of this meme.
