Have a rant thread

The going for a drink (coffee or pub) is weird, it just shouts "I don't want an actual relationship and aren't interested in talking to you", but in your 20s that's not too bad, at least they're honest about it. A bunch of others would be absolutely fine, if you know the other person's interests could sustain it (movie, sports etc).

 

Obv if you're going for a meal, probably best to aim a bit higher than Spoons, which I guess is the equivalent to many of these.

 

Inviting a rando from an app straight back to your house for a first date is serial killer stuff.

 

The family function one is a great idea, as long as you're the one that doesn't know anyone. Loads of random, awkward conversations and the highest expectation is that you're not too weird. It'd be like a TSOP outing.

People who fucking yap. I've got about three people who regularly phone me  through work and the absolute bare minimum phone call length is 20 minutes a time, it can go as high as an hour+. The actual 'work' content of the call is about five minutes or less, and the rest is one way chewing the fat. I actually have to factor whether or not I'm going to answer the phone to them into my day, as if I've got to go out somewhere I can't take the call. One person rang me once and in the time I was on the phone just listening to them talk, I ate my dinner - had a shit - and drove all the way to town to meet a mate.

That sounds like hell

Absolutely fuckers.
 

They’re in the same lane as those who turn up at your house unannounced, although it’s easier to screen calls than hide behind the sofa.

 

I’ve a mate that does this. He phones, I ignore it, then message him (like a normal person) to find out what he wants. He then phones me back. This has been going on for around twenty years. He finds the whole thing very amusing. I don’t find the whole thing very amusing.

Are there not rules about contact from probation officers ?

People who want to talk have an undefeated record against those of us who want silence.

I can't stand blethers.

 

There is someone at my work who will come across and ask me something then when I've answered, she'll just linger saying things like 'Oh well'. She'll stand there for about 20 seconds doing this, it's quite awkward (she does it with everyone).

 

I'm sitting thinking 'Have you not fucked off yet?'.

Are you sure she doesn't fancy you? Is she fit?

If you can remember my rants on here a few years back, it's the grassing French snake, who I absolutely hate. I wouldn't shag her if she was Magot Robbie's doppelganger.

 

I don't think she fancies me though, she does the weird lingering thing with everyone, clearly doesn't have enough work to do.

Maybe she's a spy.
