    Proactive. The most annoying word I can think of at the moment. Every time I hear it, my ears start to bleed. Why do people have to use it when they can say "I'm too lazy to come to you, so you should come to me"

                            Proactive. The most annoying word I can think of at the moment. Every time I hear it, my ears start to bleed. Why do people have to use it when they can say "I'm too lazy to come to you, so you should come to me"
