You can do what the gently caress you want, but people feel they can ignore or reinterpret things like that as they feel. Hell you could literally write "don't bring your batshit crazy wife" and they'll laugh it off and bring her anyway.

Always drama at a wedding, just don't need to be excessively rude or burn bridges over it. On another note, I think more people should subscribe to coldwarmotors on YT. I think I first heard of them in AI 3+ years ago driving some euro or russian lada, but now they are restoring a model a ford, plus heaps of other cars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igsr-0-E910 Fo3 fucked around with this message at 19:23 on May 8, 2017 |

My cousin called on the morning of the wedding to ask if she could bring her boyfriend instead of just herself like the invite said when we got it two months ago. I said flatly no and that I was insulted that she'd ask that of me on my wedding day. Then her dad called up (my uncle) and was like "can't you just squeeze him in?" and I again reiterated that I was insulted that they'd ask. I think I wound up saying something like "if you show up with $200 cash for us to pay the caterer and venue and LAVISH tips on all of the people you are putting out by not paying attention, we can probably find him a stool in the back to sit on." He did not come.

I would laugh my rear end off at a wedding invite that said "No plus one" on it because that sounds like you're 19 years old and/or we're not really friends enough for me to waste my time dealing with putting any effort into turning up myself because it doesn't sound like a very lavish time if there's going to be security there checking badges to make sure no one takes too much cheese & crackers. You can either not invite him or you can invite him normally and take your chances that someone might break the rules at this very regimented party.

If you get an invitation with just your name written on it and not "Person and Guest" Its extremely a dick move to take it upon yourself to add someone to your invitation. That's not going to stop an extreme dick though, but It does seem kind of tacky to me to specify no plus ones. Its kind of a risk you have to assume. Also if you do online RSVPs then you can set it up so they can only invite themselves. E: Also this: scuz posted:Their wedding, their choice. If you're not friend enough to respect their wishes, it's probably better that you're not there

I said that it was tacky to not include plus ones for everyone, if anyone gets one. Don't invite him if it's that big a deal, he clearly isn't that real a friend if you can't trust him not to embarrass you.

He is a great friend, but his last girlfriend was so terrible we had to stop inviting him out. I think I'll ask him to lunch and talk it over.

option 1: this guy is cool and all but he picks awful girls and i dont talk to him much anyways, so i'm not going to invite him and if he asks we'll tell him it's because we ran out of room or whatever option 2: take him out to lunch and potentially blow up the entire relationship I mean i understand why you would do that but idk i guess i dont have any friends that are close enough that i would consider inviting but far enough that i could get away with not inviting (because i dont have friends)

gently caress my move was just going too smoothly to not turn into a disaster. Bought a washer and dryer last week. The local ma and pa appliance specialty store where I bought it said they couldn't deliver it for 1.5 weeks, so I elected to bring home myself and install on the 2nd floor of our new 2-storey home. Got the dryer up OK with not a ton of fuss (still hard work) but the washer was back breakingly killer and tough to do. About 300lbs, awkward as gently caress to move, and my helper tried so hard he lifted it off my dolly, causing the dolly to crash into the wall causing a huge gash. gently caress me. Oh well. Get everything in the laundry room, hook everything up, seems to work well but the dryer has a "tick" with every rotation. Call the store the next AM, they say not to worry sometimes flattened spots happen on the rollers and they usually go away after a few loads. If it doesn't, let them know. So I listen to them, do a load of laundry Saturday night and all seems to work OK. Get a guy over to patch the wall. He gets it filled, sanded, starts painting, runs out of paint so he gets the other can the builder left. Starts throwing it on and SURPRISE - it's sealer, not paint. And we're out of paint. gently caress. Go to do laundry last night, put the clothes from the washer into the dryer, start, dryer shudders and goes HUMMMMMMM . Motor gets power, drum ain't moving. Locked solid. poo poo. Guess it's not just a simple thing anymore. Go to bed pissed off after hanging our clothes to dry all over the house. Get up this AM, walk past laundry room, notice water pooled on the floor. Seems like water is now dripping out of the back of the washer. fuuuuuuuck. Go to appliance guys as soon as they open, and to their credit they say they'll probably replace them with new ones but they need a tech to look at them first but he is on holidays this week and can't get someone to look at them until next week.

Went down the dock at the weekend to see some powerboat racing. Didn't stay for long as there wasn't much else happening down there - it just seemed to be the same boats going round. Still fun for a bit though. The yellow/purple one had to be handicapped as it was just in a league of it's own    Bonus pic from the week before of what is currently sitting at the other end of the dock

Darchangel posted:You mean the tram in from the parking lot on the river to the west? I rode in on that several times to go ice skating, or just wander around downtown Ft. Worth without paying for parking. It worked. It was a lot like the old version of the DFW Airport tram. Slow, and basically a guided electric bus. Yup, though it was officially known as the Tandy Center Subway. I never knew there was a mall (or ice rink!) in that building until I got that temp job, but the only time I've lived west of 35E is when I lived in El Paso (I was driving from Plano every day for that job, thankfully it was only a couple of months). The ice rink was closed several years before the mall itself though; if various articles are to be believed, it's because Tandy couldn't afford to pay for liability insurance on it.
