I'm all about tolerance, fairness, consideration, and respect.
I'm more than willing to make concessions in the name of consideration. Hell, I make concessions on a regular basis to people who don't deserve them at all. I'm pretty much a doormat.
But when people consciously choose to make me miserable for negligible benefit to themselves -- oh, say, by keeping me up past three in the morning just to have a conversation? -- that's going a bit too far.
"Noise doesn't stop just because you want it to." "It's college. People have lives." Yes, and so do I, by the way, and it's crumbling at the seams because I spend half my time at work or in class falling asleep! What am I supposed to tell them? My roommates won't let me sleep? That's hardly a valid medical excuse.
Once again, I find myself skillfully maneuvered into a position of misery from which there is no escape. Add onto that my friends, who have completely disappeared and, well, I'm not too thrilled with life right now.
