Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 " Why do some NT's seem to think socializing involves pubs and nightclubs? Didn't it occur to her co-workers that it might be sensory overload? I suppose they thought they were including . Seriously there are some things I would prefer not to be included in - nightclubs is definitely one of those things and I don't feel I am missing out. " I have never understood the whole pubs and nightclubs thing. For me, nothing that goes on there is fun. I don;t like crowds. I don't like noise. I don't like music that is turned up to high. I don't like drunk people. I don't like mind-blotting quantities of over-priced alcohol. I don't like drugs, nor do I like integrating and socializing with people who use them. I don't like easy sex or easy offers of sex. To me, clubbing seems to be where the people with the least interesting minds and the most depraved morality come together in a sort of socially contrived heathen-hell. I prefer quiet one-on-one conversations to that sort of thing any day. Administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 As a professional musician, I can tell you that a couple decades ago when I had a band that performed for the take at the door as well as a percentage of the bar, it was this very behaviour that provided me with the financial wherewithall to puchase everything the band needed from a cub van to an awesome lighting and sound system to an electronic drum kit and quite a bit more. Ergo the only use I have for nightclubs, pubs, taverns, et al is that it will yield decent coin if the band is able to appeal to the most base of NT desires without muddying one's personal morals. In other words, what did I care if they drank themselves stupid and threw up all over the parking lot as long as they weren't expecting me to join in?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I have never understood it either. All the noise and obnoxious drunk people. I've never understood why drinking until you don't know what you are doing and then spending the next day throwing up and feeling miserable is considered a good time. I do find it interesting, however, when I see alcohol referred to as a "social lubricant." Maybe that means NTs can't stand each other either and so they have to get blotto to make each other "fun" enough to be around? It seems odd to me that they who claim to be so social would need to do that. By the same token, why do they drink to deliberately lower their inhibitions and they complain when they do stupid and embarrassing things? In a message dated 3/23/2008 3:16:59 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Domino's Pizza has a system where you can order pizza online. That is what I have been doing for about the last year rather than calling it in. They have a new thing now where you can watch a bar on the screen showing you what stage the pizza is in, such as being prepared, put in the oven and out for delivery. That means only dealing with the person at the door. Mmmmmmmm I've had this problem before many times, but given a preference if I have to do one or the other I can just about manage the phone ordering and much prefer someone else to go to the door - I really dislike answering the door, not too keen on answering the telephone either; but when things get too bad, I let the answering machine screen my calls :-)Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.

I can't tell you how many times the seemingly simple act of ordering pizza and my lack of wanting to do it has caused discontent between my husband and I.

He doesn't understand and I have aways found it hard to explain. In the end, I always ended up feeling disfunctional and stupid. " There was once a time when as a child when I was too afraid to order anythin at Mcs or at other fast food restaurants. It was the smile the cashiers had. The smiles made the people look like wolves that were going to eat me up. In this day and age, I get annoyed with people behind the counter and have the urge to blow up at them for their stupidity. Cashiers who have been doing the same job all summer annoy me because they cannot take a simple order. " Give me a number one with a coke for here. " " You want that super-sized? " " No, if I did I would ask for it. " " What kind of drink? " " I said a coke. Are you deaf? " " Anything else? " " I said all I wanted was a number one with a coke for ehere. " " Is that for here or to go? " ArggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHH! These restaurants could usher people through the lines faster if they wouldn't ask so many stupid questions. And they would get more sales too, because people waiting in line wouldn't leave due to the long wait. But of course, most of the other people have becoming Pavlovian dogs thanks to years of this treatment, and so they look at me like I am the nutty one for being so impatient. The world just drives me insane, and the more idiotic someone is on the other side of the counter, or the other end of the phone line, the more frustrated I get. There is also a sense of trepidation, because people have a tendency to get things wrong even when you are perfectly clear. In some Mc's retaurants, they don't have numbered menus, and so I have often ordered -say- a Big Mac Value meal and told it was $1.50. I said, how can you tell me it's a $1.50 when I ordered a meal that costs $4.55 (without tax)? Then she redoes the order and I pay for the whole meal and she gives me a single Big Mac and tries to send me on my way. Then I have to point out that the receipt says I am owed a meal. I don't notice these things happening with other customers. Just me. I speak clearly, loudly, and intelligibly precisely because my sister workled at a Mcs and told me how it is to make things run faster when ordering. So following her and Mc's rules, I am the perfect fast food customer, but guess what, being the perfect customer slows down service.

I did well on all my classes a 3.5 gpa 92 percentile on the Analogies Test. praise by professors and I did not get accepted into the grad school program.

What irks me is that students that i have watched cheat during exams, heard state that they would simply lie to parents when faced with a challenging child, and those with sour dispositions were accepted, and worse grades. So the cycle of frustration of adhereing to all the rules learning all the cues and patterns, avoiding all obstacles, and making academic achievement did not prepare me for the pub goings on of Grad school, which is about who likes you not if you would be a good addition to the program or profession.

I really think it was a aspie unwritten rule behavior fiasco, and i have made improvements in that department.

A 3.0 and a of 50% is just not for someone that is as intellectually challanging as me (or intimidating) You know all 5'1 " of me. (also for some reason the woman in the department keep referring to me as thin (I am not really thin) small perhaps but (all this tells me is that I didn't make the looks expectation, the schmoozing expectation, and I did not bow and scrape the right way) also i made it clear I had an child on the spectrum and I was told that I should avoid specializing. i said this because i felt I had a valid parent perspective (this for some reason makes me contaversial) As this field should be dominated by people with no personal experience?? I am a bit at a loss, seeing the school psycologist, but it is all but over at this school. It is not that I wouldn't be able to accept responsibility for academic trials. I am taking anatomy and Physiology over. I was overwhelmed the first time and made a mess got a c+ I didn't deserve.

My husband ALWAYS calls and speaks to the manager whenever an order is incorrect, which by the way seems to be ever time he goes to get fast food, like that does any good. At least he seems to get some satisfaction from the call. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
