Galka Style

I have found my annoyance with stupid mistakes coming through to FFXI more and more lately. Whether it is something simple like someone being too slow to cast certain spells or a group of people screwing up and causing a wipe. To me the annoyance is quite visible when I use certain phrases or terms. My favourite is the ellipse. To me it conveys an annoyed or angry stare. There is so much to say that is inappropriate that I am speechless or it is better left unsaid.

I also always try to appear to give people the option to do whatever I tell them to do. I make requests, say please, use more text to appear friendlier, etc to try and make whatever we are doing more enjoyable for them. I don't know if this works, but I like to think it does! When people start to screw up I feel like I have to start to micro manage everything. If I could and keep up with what I am suppose to do I probably would. I drop the niceties and start issuing orders. Whether these orders are fulfilled as I expect them to be is generally a surprise.

I sometimes wonder if people know that I am annoyed or angry with them. I do my best to treat them how I want to be treated. I do not want to appear to hurt their feelings or insult them. No doubt they will overreact and only give me more headaches. Do they realize I am making an effort not trying to be a jerk and only trying to be as successful as possible?
