Hmm, I dont know how I can make this clear. Let me give you an example. Lets say you are homeless, sitting in the streets, asking for spare change. Someone walks by, and they pull out a dollar or two. Not sure if they are actually going to give it to you, you ask them for change, and then they say: "Well I was going to give you this here, but now that you asked, I'm not".
Its someone trying to cheat you for absolutely no reason. Someone sticking around and trying to be mean when they could have just been nice and everything would have been fine. He made a choice, a choice to create meaningless negative energy. Let me give you another example:
You are walking to your down the hallway of your building to your boss, about to ask him for a raise. You bump into him in the hall. He says hello, and you decide to ask him for a raise right away before he says anything. After asking him, he says: "Well I was just heading over to your office to tell you of your promotion, but now that you asked, I'm not going to give you it".
I honestly dont give a crap about the stupid achievement, I got it later in the day anyway, and obviously something silly like that in a game is nowhere as serious as something in real life, but it was the fact that he decided to stick around for the SOLE reason of being a jerk. Thats what got to me. Allow me to also make it clear that he basically had his mouse arrow on the quit button and decided not to leave just because I said happily that if someone did leave I would get the achievement. I wasnt suggesting anything, and I sure as hell am not mad because he didnt do what I said, because I didnt even tell him to do anything when he was about to leave anyway, but because he was about to quit but decided to stick around AFTER I said something just to spite me. I didnt tell him to leave. I did not. I did not tell him to leave. I am not pissed because of that. He told me he was about to leave BEFORE I said anything and then he didnt leave after I said something just to get a revenge kill. He took time out of HIS day just to be mean to me. I didnt care either way, how many times do I have to say it? I did not freaking care about the damn achievement. I care about him MAKING SURE I didnt get anything AFTER learning I would have gotten an achievement. He learned that I would have gotten something nice if he left, but decided to stay to make sure this didnt happen. I'm not mad because I didnt get the achievement, I'm mad because of what he did. THERE, I have said it enough I think, I just hope it was enough to get it through all of your thick skulls.
I'm complaining about human nature I suppose. Its in our nature to be mean, negative and all of that crap. And I hate it. I hope I cleared this up.
