Pet Peeves

So Lyn and I talked about this the other day and since she doesn't have a blog, I'm claiming it =P

Something that really bugs me (when i say "me" i mean "us" but for the purposes of this blog being mine, its gonna be "me") is when you're with a group of people and you laugh at something you think is funny, and someone makes fun of your laugh. I can think of 2 specific times this has happened, One being this girl I barely met at a friend's birthday dinner and my roomate. What bugs me the most about this is something so small can really take me from a high to low in second and it's so immature on their end to do that in the first place.

Why do they do it? Attention is probably the biggest candidate and after thinking about those 2 times, it makes sense: the girl was trying to get attention the whole night since there were "prettier" girls at the table and she probably felt threatened and of course my roomate always craves attention (esp during those days).

How to deal with it? I honestly hate when someone does this and I always just stay quiet because I'd be afraid of what my come out of my mouth. We came down to a few solutions that would probably be better than yelling: open up a question (What? I thought it was funny, didn't you?), or look confused, or both. I prefer inappropriately laughing louder like what Peter would do in Family Guy. In fact, if it does happen again I think I will do that (see, told you I hated it)
