My Latest Frustration

Most of us are familiar with the exercise in giving/following directions in which you are paired up and then asked to write down directions to do something very ordinary like make a PB&J sandwich. You then trade directions and you have to do exactly what it says, you are not allowed to do anything that it does not say, and you have to do everything listed in the exact order it's listed. Many people forget such simple steps as remove the lid from the jelly before spreading it on the bread. Thus, you have to put the entire jar of jelly on the slice of bread and have to attempt to spread the jar around with the knife.

I bring this up merely as an example of the consequences of poor communication. My latest frustration is particularly regarding girls trying to communicate with boys. Girls tend to try to hint at what they want from us. This does not work! If you want to be miserable while waiting for said guy to figure whatever it is out, that's your business. However, I am a guy, and from my experience, most of us would much prefer you telling us straight.

I was just informed by a third party that a certain girl has been hinting something at me for about 4 months. Much grief and annoyance on the part of both parties involved would have been saved if she had just told me. Girls, hints don't work. "Give it up, you can't win!"-Andrew from StarFox64.
