I Officially Just Don't Care

[Guest]

Ever feel bombarded by people trying to persuade you that this or that is The Next Big Thing and you should really WANT it, LIKE it, or SEE it, or BUY it, or somehow get involved in its sticky, warm, golden wonderfulness?

Ever want to tell the whole world you JUST DON'T CARE?

Here 'tis. The Semi Official place to announce that you Do Not Give A Flying Fuck At A Rolling Donut about...whatever. People, places, movies, songs, events, fashions -- the things not to care about are endless.


Oh -- caring about this thread is not required for participation.

Hi Malachite, I know what you mean. It's sometimes Bible thumpers or vacuum cleaner salesmen, or lately it's detox program agents...

I care about my spiritual, physical and mental health, yes, but would prefer to find my own ways to attain this, not have something pushed in my face so hard I can't think.

What triggered you to start this thread? (Or you don't care enough to say?)

Hey Mercy!

Nothing serious -- the new Star Wars DVD re-re-release (so much don't care) and the beginning of the Summer Blockbuster Movie season (can't work up energy to say I don't care), Anna Nicole Smith (feh) and weeds in my front yard (LawnNazis Begone!)

You forgot the option for the truly uncaring: whatever.

Although I would like to get involved in some sticky, warm, golden wonderfulness.

I hate "whatever". It's a virulent hatred that will cause me to throw heavy, preferably pointy things. with the velocity and accuracy only true mindless hatred can give. Therefore it doesn't qualify in my little world as a "don't care" item. It qualifies as a signal someone wants me to abuse them.

You get one warning

I could care less about caring one way or the other.....

My current pet hate is mobile phone one-upmanship.

I have a pay-as-you-go phone that is large enough for my clumsy fingers, large enough not to misplace, and old enough to be unattractive to muggers/thieves.

I use it to call the emergency services and my car club when I break down. I make less than 10 calls a year and this year, after 5 years, bought some more credit to top up the credit that came when I bought it. I have sent one text, instructed by my youngest daughter, to my eldest daughter sat in the same room.

Why do I need a 3G phone that takes video?

Am I concerned that people will laugh at my phone. No. Because I can laugh back at their bills.

Is my ringtone sexy and the latest thing? No. My phone rings. That's it. It rings. I answer if it is turned on. I had a unread message I didn't even know I had on it for three months. It was from the phone company offering me a 3G phone. I deleted it.

My phone does what I want it to do when I need it. Otherwise it costs me nothing.

Do I care that the phone company spent too much money on 3G networks. No.

Feh!

I care so little that I actually wouldn't even respond to this thread but so far this morning it's the only one worth responding too!

It's just like all the people who keep telling me I have to read The Da Vinci Code. Dude, I don't have to do anything, I'm TOO BUSY WRITING THE PORN!

You knew I was going to do it. You knew I HAD to do it.

You are weak and easily led..which is why you need a LEASH!


(but you know I still adore you)

Oh! Yeah, that's the worst. People tell me "I sent you like 30 text messages and you never text me back!"

My reply? "Uh, what's a text message?"

I want to care but my apathy gets in the way.

I tried Angels and Demons. It's in the "go away book" pile at the halfway mark because I just don't care about interestingly murdered cardinels and weird clues in the architecture of Rome, especially when writtin in a self consious thriller genre style that grates my good cheese grater on dry Parmesan.

Da Vinci Code? Could so NOT CARE.

Write the porn, MissS, write the porn.

Your apathy and your long robe.

(are you going to write a story to go with that title? I know I can't. Someone should! Someone with the right attitude and evil mind).

Same here. It took me 5 weeks to figure out how to retrieve my voice mails on my new phone (which my BF bought me, I didn't even want it.)

OK, American Idol Contestants being voted off is not news. Granted, Katherine McPhee is pretty, but people being voted off of a karaoke contest is not news. The 28 seconds you used to tell me that some one who is not cute, I don;t care about, and will not change the world one way or another could have been much better spent focused on Robin Meade's legs.

BUT AMERICAN IDOL IS NOT NEWS!

I don't want to care about the cell phone (it is, after all, a fucking PHONE) but the Husband cares about the cell phone, and I care about HIM, so....

and I'm addicted to the camera. Now I have to have a better camera phone. It's an insidious plot, I tell you!

I will endeavor to write it in a notebook.....maybe.

See? stupid electronic button thingies. I really don't care about them.

I don't care about celebrity pregnancies either.

or celebrity births on cameras, or celebrity adoptions, or.....

or what Britney Spears is doing next.

No, I don't feel sorry for Nick and Jessica either.
