Other drivers, more specifically, other drivers expecting me to break the law because they are being selfish pr*cks. Driving along at the weekend and came upon a car that had stopped in front and in that very Irish way, put on his hazards which apparently in this country excuses every kind of bad behaviour. He was opposite a white line too. He didn't even have the decency to be half on the path, he had just stopped dead in front. I waited a few seconds and he didn't move, so then tooted a bit - next thing he starts signalling for me to go around him, even though my line of vision to check for oncoming cars was maybe 10ft until the bend. Who the hell died and made him a traffic warden, thinking it is ok to signal to another driver, go on over there onto the wrong side of the road where you can't really see if there are oncoming cars, sure ye'll be grand. Moron.

I had this on a roundabout of all places. Wasn't me that beeped but the car behind me.
He starts waving to tell me go around the roundabout the wrong way.... Then proceeded to take a crowbar out of the boot and walk towards my car.....that was a fun experience!!
Needless to say the car behind me scarpered around the roundabout the wrong way.0 -

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 0 -

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.
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.0 -

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".0 -

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.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.

This wasn't always the case
Like the Xmas lights in Galway which have been up all year round. If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)
