    From the begining


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,494 ✭✭✭Columbia


    I once had two pairs of acquaintances with exactly the same names. Let's call them Rob and Sarah.

    1) Rob, a guy I went to school with, and his friend Sarah, an unattractive girl from a nearby school.

    2) Rob, my next door neighbour, and his unbelievably hot classmate Sarah.

    One day I got a random text 'from Sarah', saying that Rob had given her my phone number.

    Immediately, and 10 years later I still don't know what was going through my head, I assumed it was the first girl. I replied "right...I didn't actually give you my number, so please don't text again".

    About two weeks later I found out it was hot Sarah who had texted me, because she liked me. The possibility hadn't even crossed my mind before then.

    I tried to explain it to her but I just came across as even more of a lunatic. I feel hard done by, because it was desperately unlucky to have two separate sets of friends by those names...

    Had a poo today that would not flush. Took about a 30mins of flushing and pouring cups of hot water in. It wasn't bigger than usual. What's up with that?

    Clearly you had a lot of fun with helium balloons :)

    An ex-friend from many years ago.. We were very close. I got pretty sick and my head wasn't in a good place. My friend dated a new girl and was treating her like ****. I got to know the girl and she and i became friends quickly.

    fast forward a couple of months. The girl had planned to use me to get close to my friend and when she was close.. she made up crazy lies about me at the worst possible time and it destroyed my friendship with my friend..
    It turns out shes does this before too.

    She blackmailed me and threatened to tell my family and friends about something I had considered shameful at the time. She was a psychotherpist and care worker.. Really had the whole manipulation thing nailed.

    I learned alot from it, but it took me years to fully resolve it.. Mostly because i was very sick at the time n it just seemed very unfair of life.

    Getting hit by a van 2 years ago. Nearly lost my left leg from the knee down, as well as 12 other broken bones and some pretty horrific internal injuries. Also someone stole my phone off me while I was lying on the road.

    Got blamed for something I didn't do. Got poisoned because of that. Have about ten years or less to live. I'm pretty pissed about it and quite dangerous (I'm an avid gun collector) so I just drink alcohol to blur the **** out of my life. I like to think I'm right wing stones but I'm really a laft wing pussy who cud not get revenge to save my life or reputation. Now the quacks have me locked up for doing nothing but getting drunk in public and venting my anger in public. Fook those nazi public order acts and everything else about the system. Ye snotty dogs will never change the drunken sexually frustrated fighting Irishman so up yours. I'll self medicate with whatever I like

    Stole your phone? No way surely not??

    A **itty work placement that fell apart. Lecturer said he'd probably be my supervisor for my dissertation and then he didn't choose me. It's an area of interest to him. Then I got a supervisor who I've never met before and she doesn't know anything about my topic. I've been feeling really let down lately. Give me a break!

    Been trying for the last 23 years to get into a certain line of work, one that's autonomous and very well remunerated, and constantly receive knockbacks, failing the tests and interviews by the skin of my teeth, passed some of the tests last year only to be told that the company's pass mark was higher but the results were an industry pass. Another company acknowledged the test results but told me after their interview I'd marginally hadn't got through. Still trying though.

    Especially galling though is that a couple of lads I knew only decided to try this line of work because I'd told them about it, they went straight in and have been on about €60K a year for the last 20 odd years, no begrudgery to them individually but this issue isn't so much a monkey on my back more like the global primate populace. :mad:

    That sounds very tough. 23 years? Since 1992? That's about 2/3 of a working life.

    Do you think that it's time to give it up (if you can)? If you could give it up, maybe you would fine happiness in some other way. I know life isn't so simple, that you can just do like that, but you get the gist of my idea, I hope.

    When my gf of two years confessed that she was a hooker. Then I started going out with a really hot Brazilian model who I really liked, and then she dumped me for no reason.

    Finally got my poop together at age 29 having been working in the slowly dying construction industry. I headed down under and was in the process of building my life when I had a road accident and nearly lost my right arm. Less than a year after finally taking charge of my life and leaving (and thus discovering a major lip for adventure) I was back living with my folks unsure of what kind of recovery I would make too injured to do anything and all just in time to see the family business go under. I'm working a minimum wage job and spending what to me is vast sums of money on a all-consuming part time course. On the upside I've never felt more positive and in lots of ways grateful :)

    After countless surgeries and physio I'm still crocked in my right leg at the age of 23. I can feel myself degrading over time especially this year in my finals with all the running around and long hours working. Sometimes you just get dealt a bad hand.
