    Ok, so shes pissed off with me, perhaps its pressure of the wedding preparations, perhaps its that week.. but shes angry with me :o

    While in the course of my work i receive a very abrupt text, one which i must admit was groundless and rather narcissistic.."you.... this" "you.... that" ya da ya da - granted its my opinion and shes probably right but i was getting tired of the bitching and was about to send a reply as follows..

    "01 5555555 thats SIAC builders, get a price on a bridge around you so you can get over yourself"

    I never sent the txt... but tbh.. i lol'd. Couldnt do it - it would be that red button..

    A very BIG red button, wise choice.

    Makes no sense

    Aye, granted i would also be an absolute cnut to send it... but it was tempting. If she wasnt so pissed off, i know she'd laugh. But the risks are too high

    I sent a text to the person i was slagging off by accident - we're no longer family

    You've never heard the expression "build a bridge and get over it"?

    No you wouldn't, that's an incredibly tame text message


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    Ah you should have sent it. Who doesnt like sleeping on a couch? :p

    Anyways, i got fraped badly by a friend once and the following night in the pub i got his phone, sent 'Got the all clear from the clinic today' then 30 secs later i sent 'Sorry mam, that wasnt meant for you'.




    ...ok, it wasnt very good :/

    Why did she need a bridge "around" her, were you implying she's fat as well?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley

    Hmmm... perhaps you are correct.

    That's a bit wordy for a smart-arse response. I'd have just left it at "get over yourself" or "fuck off". Having said that, if I thought she was right, I'd probably just say sorry for whatever I did.

    You could have sent, "call 999, i.e people who give a ****!"

    Missed dinner one night as i went to the pub on the way home from work. Got a text saying "Your dinner is in the dog" so i sent one back saying "Don't worry we can get a new dog". It was not appreciated at all.

    Snyper, when people tell you to build a bridge and get over it..... they are telling you to build a (metaphorical) bridge and use this (metaphorical) bridge to get over whatever it is you are bothered by.

    It doesn't mean build a bridge and get over it (it meaning the bridge itself). That makes no sense, and as a result your message above does not make sense, so it's just as well you didn't send it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭greenybaby


    I would have sent it, because if she had a sense of humour she would have laughed :D

    Best txts being sent at the minute are from iphones and autocorrect is playing havock with the people sending txts, there are literally hundreds of examples on www.damnlol.com :D

    I know this.. try and not complicate it. :p I could try and test your theory and send the message. If i wake up tonight to a sharp pain in my groin, i may assume that she understands what i was saying. If she comes home, kisses me on the lips and tells me politely that my use of metaphors is poor you are correct :pac:

    im going with sharp stabbing pain in the groin tbh

    Being talked about behind your back is never funny - Maybe in time you'll laugh about it or maybe you'll realize how much of a d!ck he is and never be friends again

    be very careful sending texts if you have a Siobhan and Sinead next to each other on your contacts list esp when drunk -

    I've done a couple of sending texts to the wrong person but I don't really slag or insult people behind their backs (I like people), especially not in texts, so no harm was done.

    I've already made my decision. Him (and in fact that entire group) are out of my life.

    The only thing is, and this is really weird, we always have a lot of drama, usually about their backstabbing, and the truth is that a lot of the time they lie to me about nights out and stuff, yet every time I say "fair enough then I'll just wak away" they suddenly start barraging me with pleas to give them another chance and hang out with them.

    I really don't get it. The whole drama centers around the fact that they tend to lie to me about stuff (not just theirs, for instance they once told me I was the only one of us who wasn't invited to a good friend's 19th and then that same friend thought I was burning her by not turning up to it, apparently she told one of the guys to "tell all the lads" and she assumed they told me and therefore I had some reason for not going), which basically gives me the impression that they don't want me around. This kind of thing happens on a weekly basis. Ok, fair enough, if they don't want me around I'll just walk away of my own free will and everyone's happy, right? No. Cue endless attempts to apologize to me and get me to give it another try. "It was a misunderstanding", "no one's trying to single you out", "it won't happen again man, c'mon we're sorry", "Paddy just come out with us, everyone's upset that you're gone" :confused:

    Is it possibly for an entire group of people to have a sort of collective bipolar issue? O_o

    No idea what kind of weird game they're playing but they can find someone else to play it with! :D

    What did he say about you? And what did you say back?

    Mate, do yourself a favour and tell them to take a hike. Find and start hanging around with people who aren't like something out of the OC.

    Was in this kind of situation years ago with some girls I was friends with, I got sick of it after a while. You're better off without them in my experience!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,797 ✭✭✭✭hatrickpatrick


    Oh I am, there's absolutely no question of me ever repeating this.

    Anyway sorry TC I didn't mean to hijack your topic, just thought you'd be amused, once the dust had settled I couldn't help but laugh at the sheer incompetence :D

    As for what he said, it would make no sense without the context of a whole sh*tload of previous texts. He was basically making fun of me for being annoyed after one of these incidents. I remember just looking up at the lord and saying "Ah come on, surely no one out there could possibly be this mind numbingly foolish?"

    It was predictably followed by half baked explanations and justifications. I turned my phone off, went out, ended up in the same nightclub as these lads (wtf are the chances?!) and said not a word to any of them. As far as I'm concerned that text message is the last contact we'll ever have.
