pet peeve # 813522: people who vote-whore...

warning: ranting post ahead!

one thing that gets on my nerves is the fact that some people are so relentless in trying to get our votes, just so that they can win something. "click to vote for me!" "vote for my baby!" "vote for my pet!" "vote for my neighbour's colleague's brother-in-law's best friend's postman's spotted lizard!"

i mean, do you think i really care? if your baby is super cute, ok, maybe i'll vote for u. it's just a click of a button anyway. or if you're my personal friends and i really love your pets (that i've actually seen and played with when i hangout at your house), fine. but sometimes, there are those whom i barely know, barely speak to... but just because i'm in their friends list, they assume i'd vote for them? ok, some people will vote just to shut you up, coz they're generous that way, but i'm just not one of those people.

and some of these vote-whores are just so relentless! it's ok if you want to vote-whore on your fb wall. it's your fb anyway, so you can do whatever you like, but sending out chat/private messages to everyone in your list? ok, i may forgive you if you send them once. i may even overlook it the second time. but every freaking day for the whole week??? seriously?? how thick skin can you get?

so if you've been vote-whoring and suddenly find me not in your list of friends anymore, now you know why.

p.s: no, i won't vote for spotted lizards (or any lizard at all, for that matter) even if you're my bestest friend in the word. there are limitations in all human relationships and lizards are just not within any of those boundaries :D
