Vexed when writing my AA201 part, but i get more agitated when...
Ok this is one thing that really agitates me...
That is when people talk to me on msn, n enquire with me something, which means it is a request, they use 2 or more question marks.
Over the past few hours, about 4 people enquired me with some things and they ask...
1. "What are the room numbers??"
2. "U there??"
3. "When can I check points??"
4. "Can borrow???"
I hate it when people ask me things, and they use more than 1 question marks! It's ok to use more than 1 question mark in situations like "Oh really??" (Surprised/Shocked), or "Wat i stupid??" (Joking/suaning), but when its a request, shoudn't one be more polite?
I admit it may not be a big issue to some people, in fact, some people I know use "???" so often, they use it to replace a single question mark. Using more than one question mark always give me the feeling that the other party is so impatient, and so rude. Like u r asking me for something, yet u also want the answer fast, and u dun wan to wait, so u use 2 question marks so that the other party will take notice. And it tink its a stupid excuse if someone says its an accident to type in 2 qn marks or more... Typing a qn mark in the 1st place requires holding down the "Shift" button, would it really be so convenient to accidentally hold down the "Shift" button for so long? Using more than 1 question mark sure made me took notice, but in a negative manner.
When people ask me for a request using "??" or more, i reply back short answers. And i hope to end the conversation with the other party, coz i dun want to see more questions with more than one question mark. It annoys me a lot. Now the answers to the 4 questions...
1. Room numbers?? U tink the hon gen so free, everyday open back the powerpoint and check the room numbers for u??
2. Not even a greeting first??
3. Dun u have eyes to see the notices outside toilet doors n pantries and everywhere??
4. Must i lend u???
But of coz i dint reply in such manner, else i would be as rude...
So next time whether u r asking me or other people for a request, please be polite no matter what.
