I'm not sure if I am being overly sensitive getting annoyed about this one. I have a friend who, in my opinion, is bordering on treating me and a mutual friend badly. I am always the one to text/ call them to arrange things to do together. I would say 1 out of 5 suggestions/ attempts to meet is successful. The rest of the time she has other stuff on.

And not even bigger, adulty sort of responsible stuff that you can't get out of but just "oh I am going shopping with so and so" or "I'll be training for a marathon" or "I'll be running a marathon" etc. I mean, we are all busy. The other third of our trio works 60-70 hours a week. I work full time, study part time, have a small menagerie of animals to care for and OH and I are expecting our first child, so dealing with nausea, constant tiredness etc. - I still make time for my friends.

Also, lately instead of not being available, she is sort of reluctantly available, like "well I can meet you guys that day but just to warn you I will be out the night before so expect me to be very tired and hungover" - what's the point meeting up then? It's like making yourself available but only barely being there in body! Needless to say, we never get to see her on the "premium" weekend nights, it is always shoe horned into a Sunday evening or something

Perhaps my standard is too high, but I find myself getting annoyed

Its not you its them.I was always the one making plans,running around after them.Only for them to pull out last minute.Si i said to myself,i will wait till they ask me.2 years later,im still waiting.But at least i know where i stand.

I'm not being smart but why bother if it's always one way? Just stop texting altogether and leave the ball in her court.

Be right back

Queue skippers. Just because you seem to be a tourist, doesn't mean it's ok.

I wonder the same thing! Since the "I can do it extremely hungover" message, I am just sitting back and waiting to see if any plans materialise without my input. Life is definitely to short to be running after people who couldn't be ársed

You're spot on. Leave them to it.
It's a T/A of mine too.

I used to have a friend like that. If I didn't message her, nothing happened, no meet up, no effort even just to keep in touch.
When I would message her, the response would be 'I haven't heard from you in aaaaaages'. I finally pointed out to her that she could just as easily contact me - it wasn't a one way street. It seemed to be quite a revelation to her :rolleyes:

We both commuted on public transport at the time, so no excuse for not firing off the odd message or whatever during the journey, regardless of how busy work etc might be for both of us.

Your friend sounds like she thinks she is doing you a favour, almost, 'warning' you she will be hungover. Leave her to it.

Regularly see kids younger than that with full makeup on. I really hate it.

Don't bother contacting them anymore, once they hear you and that other pal are out doing stuff without them they'll be on the Hornblower shouting down the phone at ya and then all you do then is say "ohhh I thought you might be busy".

It sucks but this friendship has run it's course. Life is too short to spend it running around after people who treat you as an after thought and make you feel rejected. There was no major falling out so just stop texting and suggesting plans. If they ever do text you or bump into you and get on the offensive saying "I haven't heard from you in ages", instead of explaining yourself or asking for an explanation just say something generic like "I haven't heard from you either. What are you up to" blah blah.

When make and agreement with somebody and they go back on it without telling you!

There's a style of men's trousers out there now.
There feel like a tracksuit and have draw strings, etc.
However they look like a similar suit pants when your not to close to them.
I'm a tad unsure what they are for.
They look stupid with shoes and runners.

Rubberlegs

When what I assume is speckles of dried starch show up on the counter and tiles where I have been peeling spuds.

The fookin rain and traffic the last week or so. I've been on my bus for over an hour so far and have yet to make it from Firhouse to Rathmines. I actually can't hack it.

On my father's phone new contacts wouldn't show up unless I clicked "refresh" (can't remember where that is, now...).

Trivial to me but not for some women who don't withstand pressure from middle aged predators. Being put down for not supplying someone with highly sensitive personal pictures or agreeing to very risky stuff.I can't stand thus rat and wouldnt tryst him as far as I could throw him. Kinds torn between rolling my eyes and reporting him tbh. I get annoyed but I let stuff go.
It's trivially annoying as **** for me but for some women especially less experienced ones it's possibly more serious.

It's nobody on Boards!

When Christmas decorations on buildings are not removed in January or so but are simply switched off and left there all year long. It looks tacky...
This wasn't always the case
