#obliviouspeopleproblems

We all know those people who just don't get it. In other words, oblivious people. You know, those people who you never want to talk to. Ever. The way I see it, oblivious people can be categorized into two main groups: the awkward people, and of course, the annoying people.

Awkward people are extremely oblivious. They either don't realize how awkward they make things, or they realize it but don't do anything about it. Either way, it makes for a very uncomfortable situation. Awkward people make you feel like you're the one who's being awkward...when in fact, it's the exact opposite.

Some people might ask, well, what's an awkward situation? Let's just say that if someone runs out of things to say, so they awkwardly ask you about the weather...when they're in the SAME CITY AS YOU...well, that could be characterized as an awkward situation. Awkward situations are not limited to just words. For example, when there is a brief pause or an awkward silence, awkward people also tend to stare deeply into your eyes...and sometimes even into your soul...which is just creepy. Seriously.

*Awkward Silence*
"So...is it raining?"
"Well...you could just look out your window.
I mean, we're in the same city..."

The worst part of it is that these types of people view an awkward situation as completely normal. It's almost as if these types of people have become so awkward that they eventually just get used to awkward situations, therefore, considering them normal. So, for the rest of us, we presume that these people are oblivious. In other words...they just don't get the hint.

The second group of people who are usually oblivious are annoying people. Generally, annoying people are not awkward, because they never run out of things to say...which is exactly the problem. We all know those people who won't stop talking, even after you give them a look that says, "Okay...I think we get the point. You can shut up now." These types of people basically never know when enough is enough, and are entirely oblivious to the irritated glances everyone else gives each other.     

The annoying people are Spongebob and Patrick...
...and I usually end up being Squidward...

Since I gave an example of an awkward situation, I might as well give an example of an annoying situation. One situation that I seem to encounter a lot is when I'm really busy, so I tell someone that I can't talk anymore, but then they keep talking. For what seems like eternity. Another example is when you "forget" to text someone back or whatever, and they kindly remind you that you "forgot" my blowing up your phone with several messages. Not cool.

Despite this hastily made blog, I hope that my efforts have allowed you to be educated about oblivious people. However, although the majority of us can't stand them, you have to ask yourself...where would our world be without oblivious people?
