Anyone else here hate when people drop vague hints around you instead of just being honest and direct? Anyone else deliberately ignore said hints the second someone emits them, and either act dumb or that what they're saying at face value is their actual intent (until they come out with what they actually mean)?

For me, I LITERALLY cannot think of more insincere, dishonest, untrustworthy, condescending, cruel, and insulting way to communicate to a person. I'd honestly prefer having death threats sent to me and my family (and maybe those threats genuinely being followed up on) than to have those who think that dropping *subtle* hints is a valid, respectful means of communication.

It just makes it difficult to trust not only them, but future people you meet. It makes it impractical to not be suspicious of any individual soul you see. Always leaving you at the height of your scepticism and dubiety whenever someone new introduces themselves to the room. And sometimes ruins whatever relationship you have with a person who turns out to be loose, flaccid, and indirect with their words.

ANYWAY, ENOUGH VENTING!!!

What's a good way to screw with people who constantly drop hints they believe others can read? Aside from willfully disregarding them and pretending otherwise? There should be some good ways to IRL troll some dishonest folk, no?

Hate to be /r9k/ here, but I find the "constantly drop hints until they get it" moda to be the normalfag version of social ineptitude.

You call it cruel, but surely they have your best interests in mind and are trying not to embarrass you? I've always seen it as people trying to let you save face. I can see why you might think it's passive-aggressive bullshit though.

100% guaranteed autist who translates discomfort with social habits into a criticism of what s/he can't understand.

Less anger, more practice.

People always do bad things with the best interests of others in mind.

Yup. I hate this with a passion. My parents are like this and it makes me feel like they think I'm a moron who can be easily manipulated. We're also extremely distant and all socially retarded, so I tend to agree with >>16783043 that it's a sign of social ineptitude.

It's just flat out lying to someone, and a person attack onto who they are.

My roommate has a list above her bed of all the things I do that she dislikes. Of course she's never confronted me about a single one, and many of them are small or odd things that wouldn't be a big deal to the average person. It's insanely immature and childish
