57 Notes

indefensible:

timestolen:

“It’s complicated” is a statement I hate more than any other one.

It either precedes or follows complete and utter bullshit excuses and, more often than not, lies.

Ideas can be complicated.

IKEA instructions can be complicated.

The truth is rarely complicated.

True.

I’ve found that when people say ‘It’s complicated’, they mean that telling the truth will complicate things for them.

 Total disagreement.

That may be how some people use it, but I use “it’s complicated” at the beginning of an answer to mean “I am about to bore you senseless with either SCIENCE or GEEKERY or a combination of the two.” My friends have learned to fear when they ask me a question and my response is to pause for a second, take a deep breath, and begin my answer with “well…”
