I uber duper hate it when words gets misused
No I don't mean misused in the "meaning" kind of way
What I mean is
When people use it to procrastinate.

Don't get me wrong..
I'm not against it when you really need to use it
But when you use it to escape responsibilities
I think you have a problem with life

Everybody uses it sometimes
Myself included
So no, this is not a "holier-than-thou" post
*After this, I'll kill anybody who says "You're not so perfect yourself"
I'm guilty of it as well
I use it to escape sometimes

But when one uses it to the point
It becomes annoying or hateful even
Then that's where the problem is

When someone uses "later"
It means that he/she will do it in say a span of 5 minutes or maybe 2-3 hours
Depending on what it is and its priority
Say for example

"A's mum asks A to bring the clothes back in...
The sun is still shining and its a hot day,
A says later"

By all means, I feel that the usage of the word is justified in that scenario
Of course it should be followed by the action of doing what he said he would do!

"A later went out and brought the clothes back in"

Then the usage of the word is perfectly justified!


Now take another scenario

"B's mum asks B to clean up after her OWN pet's poop
B said later or soon.
5 hours later and after 329482942 nags from her mum
B finally does it"

This is the situation where I am utterly disgusted at the way the word was used

I mean, I don't know how many of you have pets
But when pets litter or pee in the house,
For some reason the surrounding floor becomes sticky
It's uncomfortable
This is where priority comes in
If you're not saving a life,
Would 5 minutes, spared to clean up the mess,

a) Kill you?
b) Make you loose 1 whole bloody chapter of that book you're reading?
*There is such thing called a bookmark you know ._.
c) Miss an entire scene of the movie you are watching on your laptop
*There is such a thing called the "pause button" on the video player.. Use it dimwit!

Heck even if you're rushing your assignments
Would it fail you to spare 5 minutes to do it?

This is not the entire problem mind you
When done often enough,
People starts to get sick of that "soon" or "later" word
To the point where even if its justified to use it
People tend to get impatient

That asshole, B, just made life more difficult for her siblings
To me, that person knows nothing about prioritizing goals in life
Short term or long term, it doesn't frickin' matter
He/She just does NOT know how to. period.
*best example, Party/trip with friends over Driver's License classes
**Thats fuckin' Imba I tell you...

Why do I say that?
When you procrastinate with this 2 words long enough
Your "soon" and "later" no longer holds any value
Those two words denotes that you do not wish to do it
And you're procrastinating indefinitely
That's when the nagging comes
And when nagging comes, people become stressed
When people become stressed they do crazy things
*I eat people when I stressed .__.

Now when other people uses the "two-words-which-must-not-be-said"
People tend to remember the second scenario
It's easy to forgive, but hard to forget!
And that's why I said, that A-Hole, B, just made life difficult for everyone!

Speaking of responsibilities,
I also tend to hate people who does not have any sense for responsibilities
I also know it don't matter who I hate
But think of it as a general hate
I'm willing to bet my ass that this problem annoys almost everyone
Except for those with the same shitty attitude
If I'm wrong you can screw my ass with anything you like
I doubt I am though

If you want to keep a pet
You are responsible to it
You do NOT just leave it there upon buying it
You're responsible for his well being even when it is no longer cute
Or cuddly or funny

Once in a while, yes it is okay we stand in for you
When you are busy or something *genuinely of course*
Don't tell me to bathe your dog when you're watching drama or shit
Or wipe your dog's poop or pee pee when you're munching on snacks in your room

Sure that's the family dog
But don't forget, love and affection aside,
Ultimately you are the one who "adopted" him
You are ultimately responsible
Dad shouldn't have to pick his poop up!
Dad shouldn't be the one laying newspaper on the floor
Dad shouldn't be the one wiping the floor after he leaves a mess
