Popular Post sharkyvilla Posted May 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2019 I'm not great at winning, for example at quiz nights I never really want to win, almost like it's showing off too much. It's the same with playing pool against my mate, he's got a wonky eye and a curved spine so I play against him left handed because I don't want to win every time. The problem is another mate has started coming along as well, so I have to play him left handed as well or else my original mate cottons on to the fact that I've not been trying that hard against him, as he hates pity for his disability. So long story short, my left shoulder aches from overuse and I keep losing games of pool. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes mid sentence. This really pisses me off and it happened to me the other week actually. Since moving back here, I visited an old friend who I'd not seen for about 9 years. Sitting in his flat yapping away in deep convo and suddenly his phone rings... Not, can I call you back as I have company or any other polite intention! No. He pisses off into his kitchen with the phone and continues with the call.. After about a minute I get up and just walk out. See you in another 9 years.

No? Maybe it wasn't, but I have more important things to do and get on with than sitting, waiting for someone to finish on a long phone call.

I politely replied at the time saying I had to get on and had things to do and didn't want to sit twiddling my thumbs while he took his call. It's not that, it was his sister who only lives 2 streets away! But not anything like, oh sorry about that etc. It was the ignorance that pee'd me off at the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think leaving, quickly followed by a text - “didn’t know how much longer you’d be busy, so we can continue when you’re free another time. Message me if you want to meet again” would be perfectly acceptable. However, from the words in the post, it appears Rigo doesn’t think the big gap in seeing each other and the subsequent ignorant treatment, isn’t worth continuing the friendship for so I can understand why he just walked out. Depending on how much I wanted to re-start the friendship after a 9 year gap, I think I’d have tried to have listened on how important the call. Was he just talking crap with a mate or had his mother just died? If the call was trivial, I’d only have waited a couple of minutes before quickly interrupting the call with “I'll leave you to it” and then walking out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I hate it when my missus rings me up, then decides she wants a conversation with whoever she sees whilst on the phone to me. Makes my blood boil, and I usually end up putting the phone down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Not that I have this problem anymore, but drug dealers used to really piss me off. I’ll me you at so and so in 10 minutes. Half hour later still waiting. They must think that they are doing you a favour by meeting you. No mate I’m doing you the favour by giving you my hard earned money so you don’t have to work. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because in that time frame they are waiting for other punters to request drugs so they can meet as many people in area for convenience. Or so I hear.

They are, without question, reliably guaranteed to f*** you around for time, and in doing so, generously sell you the two-for-one deal of a dose of drugs and a whopper dose of their bullshit. They think that they are telling you what you want to hear, even despite any explanation that an accurate time-frame allows for occupying time with something better than twiddling your thumbs and stewing on what an inconsiderate c^nt this dealer is.
