please ignore this

[hexcalibrate]

why is it that people do the opposite to what they are asked?

discuss why you shouldn't do what others ask. (except moderators)

Its because of curiosity, you want to find out what happens when you do something you aren't supposed to

[Catman25]

I get it, by your philosophy, ignoring this would mean we would not ignore this. I guess I fell into your trap then?

[hexcalibrate]

i've noticed that when a topics name is changed to something like lock, they have quite a few more fews than normal, so i wanted to try this out and as i thought no one listens to me.

Reverse psychology works sometimes.

Because rules are meant to be broken?

[~Hado~]

Because asking someone to leave them alone tempts them to bother him/her more than a desperate cry of attention.

Do you also get tempted to not start a sentence with capitals and not use punctuation?

ON TOPIC: Reverse psychology is pretty unstable. For instance, you tell someone to do something they shouldn't in an act of RP, they think it's not something they shouldn't do and go about doing it.

This is the smartest thread ever. +1.

We do what we are told not to for many reasons, some already said.


1. Curiosity. Whether Confucius say or not, "Curiosity killed the cat". We always want to know what is going on. Besides, we don't like secrets.

2. Rebellious. We like doing what we are told not to. Either to make us seem cool, for one reason or another, or to say, "I'm not following your orders."

3. Humor. People will comment in things just to make it seem funny. And half the time, it is. But sometimes, not to the person who asked the ignore.

4. Trolling purposes. People will go against someones will just to piss them off. Simple as that.
