I do not like it when people don't play their roles properly.

people do not fit one role each for eternity.....their opinions and behaviors change. you can't predict what someone is going to do based on how they were in the past. (granted, sometimes those predictions are right, but not something you can depend on.) our "roles" are constantly shifting, day to day, so there's no reason to be vexed by the fact that people don't fit perfectly with your expectations.

plus, people are not robots. humans are so complex that the concept of a "role" is kind of ridiculous. there are too many factors that play into our actions.

Stop that.

I never said...

1. People fit only one role.

2. People fit one role for an eternity.

3. I was vexed.

4. Prediction has a 100% success rate (which I obviously don't think it does or I wouldn't post this... though it has a much higher rate than you're implying, and I know that from experience)

5. People should fit "perfectly" with my expectations

Though, good job proving yourself wrong?

And uhh... you know, I'm pretty sure you expect people to act certain ways. All the time. Otherwise you wouldn't have any idea what's appropriate to say to whom.

i could see how you were going to tear that apart as i wrote it, almost exactly, but i still posted it for fun. we have already discussed that. it's amusing that in trying to argue the idea of roles, i caused the both of us to adopt what one might call our usual "roles". i think the second paragraph still holds, though.
