6 Reasons Not To Tick Off Writers

Writers are a little crazy at times, but we have our own reasons. We are constantly in our heads thinking up stories and ways to express ourselves. Here are a few reasons that ticking off people that are quiet and constantly contemplating (aka writers) is not the best idea.

1. It creates inspiration.

That is good for us but never for you. Every single moment that angers us, or impacts our lives in a crucial way we put towards our writing. I personally use every emotion that I have to inspire me, every moment to make my articles, stories, poems, etc. I use my emotions to make them better and make a connection with others. When our hands fly over a keyboard it means we’re driven and determined to talk about the topic, I hope that I am never the reason that someone is typing at least not maliciously.

2. Maybe you shouldn’t risk your name being EVERYWHERE.

Technology is everywhere we turn. At any moment something goes viral, and the next thing could be a story about you because you ticked off the wrong person. One story can be shared on hundreds of platforms, hurt a girl, we have fire, hurt a writer we’ll make your name and actions known. Want to be blackballed, and possibly have multiple people hate you because you managed to give one person enough anger or sadness to write about you, well there you are.

3. We are passionate.

Just like number two, we will make you known. But, our passion drives us and puts an extra momentum behind our choice to write about you or that friend that you stood by and watched bully someone for example. Maybe you view writers as hateful people that love to ruin lives or see us as annoying pests like paparazzi are to celebrities but in the end, we know where to hit send and that is one thing that you don’t want to be on the receiving end of backlash.


4. We don't back down.

Writers are used to the constant backlash and hate based on our openly blunt comments and what we do. You may think, “they’ll crack and the story will go away”, but it’s more often than not untrue. We have thousands of ways to say what we want, or express our emotions because of our chosen hobby or career path.


5. We are detectives.

Writers have to find information, and if you think you can hide something from us, you’re wrong. We are trained to find every possible piece of information for our articles. The drive we have to find reputable sources is unimaginable and that in and of itself helps us to track down the research we hope to find and maybe when angered even find your darkest secrets.


6. On the more imaginative side, we can always kill you off repeatedly.

Remember The Vampire Diaries, every character comes back to life and if you make us, we will do it to you given enough incentive and we can use the story as our means of outing your hateful ways to the world. There are endless ways of making one person disappear while continuing the story.

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
