Court case: XX vs XY

It sparked excitement the moment she wrote our task of the day upon the whiteboard.

"List down 10 annoyances that you find in the opposite gender."


So there we were, in four groups, armed with a piece of mahjong paper, whiteboard marker, and a mind with full of allegations we intended to use as attacks. I could vaguely imagine us as attorneys of opposing firms, tracing our tactical manoeuvres on an empty slate, and within minutes, it came out full of stereotypical ideas we agreed on.

And so the court case begun.

It was as if a courthouse had appeared right before our eyes. In an instant, the classroom burst into life with our acrimonious 'guy-girl debate'. I'm pretty sure some other classes would have heard our cheers and cries and roars of laughter as we presented the 10 annoyances, each fighting to be proven right.
You know which side I'm on. XD.

To generalise, most girls disliked boys who...are arrogant, egoistic, vain, insensitive...
While the boys had their own list, not liking girls who...are self-centered, secretive, gossip, have mood swings...

In the end, as our stomachs begun to hurt from our continuous doses of laughing gas, our teacher concluded the debate by mentioning that both lists actually the same, that you can't place categorise guys and girls(that logically, guys can get mood swings and girls can be vain) Then right before she left, she left us a little advice.

"So, all of you, now you know what the opposite gender wants, ya."
