Irritation dedication....first installment

I'm starting this new piece of my blog called 'irritation dedication'. As it says, I'm putting aside a few minutes of my day to identify and shed some light on the things and peoples that irritate me.Lol.

The first irritation is: People who don't know how to take a hint.

Scenario: A few weeks ago, I started a course at school. Day of first class and i'm waiting on the lecturer to arrive. A random guy comes up to me, taps me on my shoulder and says 'Excuse me can i borrow your book please?'. Ok. So i lend him it and turn back around to the front of the class. He hands it back to me and then says he downloaded it onto his pc but wanted to check to see if it was the same version. WHATEVER pal you've already shared a sentence more than I cared to know. So i smiled and then turned back around (again).
THEN he proceeds to stretch out his hand to me (handshake attempt) and introduces himself 'Hi my name is ______'. Astounded as to why this information was being given to me, I said i would be polite so i said it was nice to meet him and said my name. (ugh! Being polite can be a real bitch sometimes).
He goes back to his seat. After a while i talk to another classmate of mine (who i actually want to talk to) and then proceed to go outside and have a snack before class. *cue music* Random guy comes outside and stands a few feet away from where I am currently having my brownie and orange juice to continue the conversation that he thought was okay to start in the first place. Mentally the phrase 'wtf' is bouncing around in my head, but facial expressions are normal. He then proceeds to ask me, what i'm studying, where i live, how i get to and from school and a mess load of other totally inappropriate questions for someone who is a stranger! I oblige to answer at least the first two and then by the third i am so irriated that i want to launch the brownie i'm now chewing at him. I rush down my snack (which i hate to do btw because all of you that really know me know i am the world's slowest eater) and go back into class.
A while later weirdo guy pokes me and asks me if i have a pen that he can borrow and he will give it back to me after. By now i've already realised that this madman is attempting to form some sort of bond with me so that he has an excuse to talk to me further. I lend him a pen, and say that he can keep it. (Real meaning-please do not ever ask me anything or talk to me again ever). He says its ok he will give me it back, I am thinking 'get the picture son!'. He gets nothing.
My point here is that a common sense endowed person would already realize by the hesitancy to answer questions asked, the outward distancing of one's self from the other person AND the weird laughing at jokes i don't care to hear all mean 'DON'T EVEY TRY IT. I AM NOT INTERESTED'. Apparently he's from the nation where people don't know how to take a hint. Future events would show you that's he's practically the president of the 'i can't take a clue' nation.
The other week of class I am rushing into a tutorial for said class when weirdo is standing up outside. Mind you, we already know where and when our tutorial is, so asking that to someone in the class is really retarded behaviour. LOW AND BEHOLD as I am bolting toward the door (where we all know where we're to go!) he asks 'um we have tutorial in here today?'. *irritated face goes along with mental 'wtf' bouncing around like mad*. I'm already rushing to class, it was a hot day so i was not in the mood for anyone's stupidity, i looked at him and said 'UHM it's in that room where it always is' and walk into the door. When someone starts to come across to you as being a bit rude (and to put it plainly bitchy) in talking to you- the hint is being launched at you to leave them alone. Home fry won't get it yet.
Today for class, there are three people in the room and about ten chairs empty. I am already sitting down, comfortable and waiting to learn, or to be distracted by something. In walks mr oblivious (and stupid) and takes the seat RIGHT NEXT TO ME. There are ten other seats empty, at various parts of the room. but NO. He choses the seat that is right next to the girl that has been anti social (a bit mean) and does not start conversation with him EVER. BRILLIANT Einstein! Nobel Peace Prize in utter stupidity here! If the bitch in me had prevailed I would have gotten up and moved to another of the many emtpy seats, but I thought 'No. I am not moving.' I'm bbm-ing my friend to tell him that i cannot believe this weirdo guy continues to try to talk to me when he doesn't have a chance in deep neverending hell. Weirdo man pulls out his phone and is just sitting ther with it while watching in my direction (peripheral vision is a good thing). By this time i am dumb founded as to what is going on in his mind (if anything at all).
There's nothing more confusing to me than people who don't know how to take a hint. Worse than that are people who down right refuse to take said hints. It's sad, it's pathetic at times really. Do you need a book to help you? 'Hints for weird dumbies?'. It's not that hard, the signs are everywhere. Do yourselves a favor- take a hint.

Irritation dedication finished!
