I am rarely snappy. I am always afraid of offending people, and fear the consequences if I do, so I rarely snap at people even when it is justified. Also my dad was very snappy as a child and it used to upset me a lot, and I don't want to make people feel the same way as that made me feel.

There are some occasions where I can be a bit snappy though. If I am tired, or feel emotionally exhausted in a social situation, I might appear rude and abruptly leave with a very stern goodbye. In another scenario, I might be really interested in something and explaining something I feel passionate about, and someone might interrupt me, or say something incorrect on the subject, and I might rudely shoot them down. But this sort of thing happens very infrequently.

'Bomb' is the correct word. As for the year - best forgotten.

I re-watched one of the first RiffTraxes not long ago and they made a Schnappi reference...I like to think this is back when memes were something special that had some lasting power, you know, like the Hamster Dance or Rickrolling. Now there's new memes every day and even someone as young as me is completely lost in this generation.

^ You're lost? I had to Google what a RiffTrax was.

To be fair, it's a continuation of a 26 year-old television show, so I don't think that makes me any wiser to this generation's culture.

People have referred to me as having sass (and similar words), but I don't know if they are joking or not. I try to be nice as possible in every situation, so I don't really know if it's sarcasm or genuine.

I think the answer is:

No, nobody else is really a snappy person. Not compared to me.

^ As long as you're certain. It sounds like you're happy to be snappy. I'm sure there's some kind of psychology behind all this but I'm f****d if I can understand how people think.

Hardly snappy at all these days. Once in a while when I'm in a crowd, some "fellow traveller" will try to rebuke me for getting in their way, and I nearly always snap back. That's about all. I've not got much to snap about.

I'm not a snappy person, and it's because of the snappy upbringing that I've had. I was snapped at by both of my parents from the time I could talk until I've moved out on my own, 9 years ago. My snappy parents were poor examples of role models. I chose a gentle soul to be my role model over the past 6 years, so I wouldn't scare people by being snappy.

I don't think so. Excluding people who go around giving unsolicited advice like they're God's gift to humanity, I rarely argue.
