    I can't stand people not reading things in its entirety, or cutting me off in mid sentence or something. It's my pet peeve lol. If you cut people off in mid sentence or if you don't read something in its entirety, you could miss something important.

    For instance, let's say a friend is coming to visit.... he writes you a letter and in the end it says I am allergic to apples........ But you didn't bother flipping the page over. So instead you make a desert with peaches and... you KILL YOUR FRIEND. If only you flipped over the page you would have seen that the FULL sentence is.... "I am allergic to apples and peaches".

    Or how about this, there is a really hot girl you want to meet from online. Everything is PERFECT, her looks her personality...she is your SOUL MATE.... but then you see her profile says "I really HATE dogs". And well, you have a dog that's your best friend, so you put her on ignore and never speak to her. This results in you never finding ms right, you always feel like something is "missing" in your relationships, and you never find your soulmate. If only you scrolled down and read her profile in it's ENTIRETY you would have seen her say... "I really HATE dogs that bite".

    Or let's say you're talking to someone and you say, I really hate dogs... They cut you off and get really mad at you and say that you are a horrible person for hating animals, etc etc etc. But they didn't let you finish your sentence. If only they let you finish your sentence then they would see the meaning is totally different than what they thought. You were trying to say, you really hate dogs that bite, not that you hate all dogs. See how the meaning could be totally different??

    lol ok... i guess i vented a lil. it's seriously a pet peeve tho and sad how so many people miss the meaning of something so often and how so many people get in so many fights all because they didn't listen totally..... ::sigh:: USER ERROR lol
