When you have to choose between the above two, which one would you choose? The social retard that I am, I chose the latter. And see what happened!
Case 1: A few days back
Tring Tring
I pick my phone. The screen displays the name Ms. X. I pick the call.
X: Hi! (Excited)
Me: Hi
X: Uh? Hmmm. I called you to tell about my marriage!!! (More excitement)
Me: Okieeee (Read: longer than the usual)
X: It's on this 20th. It is at ABC. It's a Sunday. You should come. P knows the place. You could come with him........
Me: I won't be coming. It has been three weeks since I went home. Plus, have a theatre festival going on in my hometown. I want to be there too.
X: What?? You could have at least said that you would come and then, not have come.
Me: Is that what you wanted?
Click.
Case 2: A few hours back, over SMS
Y: :-) i hope u hv a better Sunday
Me: I doubt it.
Y: How cynical of u to crush my hopes for u to hv a better Sunday! Some ppl i tel u!
Still, I prefer to go by the latter. I rest my case.

Hi Manish,
Your post put a smile on my face :) :)
I know exactly what you are talking about.. I have a friend who is just like this and currently I am in the process of learning to cope with it..
Brutal honesty, now that's one thing that is not everyone's cup of tea
Regards,

Maybe people will realise it in the longer run. The sugar coating on words shall fade away, but the truth shall stick around forever.
