"Would you feel flattered or annoyed if..."

your mate bought a pair of the same trousers as you? You know how some people copy you in certain things and you just think "Oh for the love of god get your own life you wierdo!" and they whine and complain? Well are you like that OR do you take it as a form of flattery and just let it pass?

I recently bought a pair of a trousers that I didn't realise was the same as my mates until after I got out of the shop. I still like them obviously but think he's going to be a whiner. The annoying thing though is if he isn't a whiner then I'll feel out of place when I whine at him for wanting to do something that's currently unique to me (in my group of friends) and something I feel passionate about so don't want to be distracted even if it is by a mate. Buh, I think the latter is more serious though. Buying the same pair of trousers is one thing. Assimilating one of your traits is another.

id have no problems copying that sort of thing but i wouldn't do it because i like the person, i never do anything i don't want to do.
i've got no problem with anyone copying me if they are being themselves, the way to impress me is to change my opinion on something, i'm pretty set in my ways and beliefs now.

I think that "through" is used when you are going THROUGH a rough patch of time or whatever. The one you're looking for is "threw" as in you have thrown something. I think...:S I only got a C in English though so I'm probs very wrong.

You went through the panties?

Yup although I try not to step on other peoples individuality in certain things. Like if you were the only one in your group of mates who could do...Archery for example. I wouldn't suddenly take up Archery and dog them when it's clearly their "thing" which they are quite happy to do on their own. I know it gets on my t!t$ so I don't like it when people do it to me although it's happened twice recently. Buh.

I. THROUGH!

That'd be "threw" wouldn't it?

*Sound effect from Family Fortunes when someone answers incorrectly*

we all take traits from each other whether it's a pair of trouser's, or an idea, or whatever.
i know that i tend to take aspect's of other people's personality, usually an idea that i would take and evolve, or a philosophy.
we all do it, but can you admit it?

There are plenty more trousers out there
