have you stayed angry / annoyed at friends for long?
just curious.. thought it might be an interesting topic
today, I was at work.. so couldn't be ebaying and someone finished their auction way too early... so I told / got a mate to bid for me, and the maximum.. the item went for far less and he put the bid in too late... this is someone who uses ebay a lot.
it's water under the bridge, but hopefully a collector got it.
I have supposed "friends" do far worse, to the fact of they aren't friends after.. e.g. their wife said I'd slept with them, they had offered.. I declined...
it's tricky to stay mad at friends I guess, but I guess their are limits.. have your friends tested your friendships too far?

She's ended up with egg on her face, everyone at work has taken my side and had a go at her, I've come out with my head held high and we're still mates.
So no, I'm not good at staying angry with people or long.
Having said that, I can and do hold a grudge for a long, long time ;-)
Couple of others with similar stories...you bend over backwards to help them out and they throw in back in your face etc....I wash my hands of those for good.
(btw I found out later.....the guy that went to Columbia went to marry an internet chick......she then divorced him and wanted half his stuff....year later he goes back to Columbia to get married again.....to the first ones best friend....)
"im not ready for a relationship just yet"
Im going to be alone for a while :(
The bast**d still didn't turn up and to this day I have no idea why. We didn't fall out or have a single cross word as far as I can remember. He completely deafed out every single one of his mates, no-one has seen him in ten years although we do know he is living locally as he was spotted by a mate of a mate.
He'd better hope I don't see him as I'll either give him a good piece of my mind or more likely flatten him.
Well don't be alone because of waiting for her to be "ready". That's the generic "i'm not interested in you but i want to say it in a nice way" excuse!
I would've thought the fact that Robin used the word "excuse" would suggest that he knew that already...
theres still people in sheffield (ex friends) that ill punch everytime i see em, and thats from the late 80s
Finding a best man could be a bugger though :-P
Thats what I got too! She said that she had no idea how it happend and that she found out about her starting a relationship with him when she saw it plastered on facebook. Don't get me wrong, but doesn'tit take both partys to change a relationship status? Frpm what I understand, they agreed to see each other for sex, but she isn't ready for a relationship yet. She's told a few people that she likes him though. I really don't know what to think anymore? They were seen in town hand in hand too, but 'shes not ready'?
That's bollcks if you ask me. Put me down for being a lonely bastard for quite a while longer to :-(
Quel suprise! ;)
You got the badge though.
Being in situations like that before,i just walked,it takes two to tango,and if they not doing it,f'ck them,always someone better out there.
I was young and was after this girl, and a friend of my best friend's brother was also after her... and one night that guy told I had kicked his car because I was jealous the girl wanted to be with him... (actually If i had to kick something it would have been his teeth).
So after that I went out with my friend, and he waited that I was pissed drunk to ask me if I had done it. I understand that he was standing up for his brother, but the kind of relation we had, I would have always been honest with him if he asked me. and I really felt betrayed by him that day. (still think it was a really low thing to do).
of course I was pissed at him and stopped talking, he went to live in france for a year, and he tried to get in touch.
after five years he showed up at my house, he was getting married and wanted me to be the best man.
we had this huge talk and he sair he was sorry, and we started talking again, but it was never quite the same, I remember I felt I could tell him everything and nowadays he's just a guy I see a couple a times a year to go for some beers.
Might do actually
Dont get down by that one knock back. Theres millions of other girls out there, dont get withdrawn because of that one.
As for holding grudges a few of us from our hometown have held a grudge against an old mate for about 8 years now. He tried it on with my best mates girlfriend at a club, basically asked her to runaway with him (He was living with a girl as well). All hell broke out when my mate found out, he confronted him and said he wants nothing more to do with him. The bloke who tried to nick my mates gf was gutted, he then did a 'Rooney' and managed to sweettalk his girlfriend that it was the 'beer talking'. Theyre actually now married and have a kid, i cant believe she stayed with him, mainly because hes so loaded.
As for my mate he moved on but doesnt bother with the other 'friend'. I mean out of all the girls in the world he gets drunk and then tries it on with his best mates girlfriend, poor.
I mean when youre 18/19 it doesnt really count so much if one of your mates pulls your missus (back then any girlfriend wasnt really serious) , but a bit different when you're in your 30's and living together.
Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.
Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
Well, if you go getting involved with girls, how are you ever going to finish your homebrew CPU?
hahaha....i just want company, all my friends bitch about each other, its getting anoying!
The perfect girl for me would be someone doing academic subjects
You are fussy ! Female and alive is about as fussy as most of us can get !
I have next to no friends either (except for those on WOS).
I did ask my best friend to be my best man when I first got married but he shunned me. I was hurt and angry with him for a while until I found out that he had not long found out he was dying (he died in March 99 and he was only 19).
When the wife and I renewed our vows, I didn't ask anyone to be a best man.
I feel for you there, as I explained in my post it's not nice being shunned, but at least your friends health put it into at least some perspective. I have no idea why my friend did what he did, and it still bloody hurts to this day, especially as I've never had any explanation for his behaviour. I'd known him since I was 7 years old and we were close.
Go out and get p?ssed,enjoy your freedom,i know its hard go out nowadays since not many have the money,on other subjects i often wondered how people can be "friends" with their ex's :confused:
A friend with weed is better (to quote Placebo)
