Weirdfriend is getting clingy. He called around noon wanting to hang out, when my boyfriend had just gone to bed, having needed to stay up last night. I told him I had some errands to run but I'd call if we could hang out later. He ended up calling, texting, or Facebook messaging me every 45 minutes asking if my boyfriend was awake yet. No. We will call if we want to get together. And I'm not about to hang out with him alone, considering he came over or we went to his place every day this week, and all he does is sit rigidly in an awkward position, sweating and staring at the TV. Sometimes he blurts out random things like "I think I'm totally over my ex now" etc. Or he acts like something one of us said or did was a hint that we wanted him to leave, and tries to apologize for nothing. Or he stands up and kinda hovers and picks up random objects in the apartment and hands them to one of us with ridiculously shaky hands  Become normal already!I think one of the reasons he annoys me so much is that his inappropriate behaviors remind me of me when my mental illness was at its worst and I didn't know how to act. But all the obnoxious little things add up. timefly has a new favorite as of 07:19 on May 16, 2017 |

Bogan King posted:It's an Aussie thing. You would be correct. It's probably just as well I didn't mention "butchers", "schooners" or "ponies". yeah I eat rear end posted:Instead, we should place our trust in law enforcement to solve the problem. If they don't have the manpower or space to arrest and prosecute "minor" crimes like this, maybe they need more funding instead of the military. That's an unusual opinion on the internet. The usual, or at least the loudest, is to abolish both the police and prison system, which would work out wonderfully when psychopathic murderers, rapists and other violent felons are free to do as they please, after they mouth the empty lip service that rehabilitation makes them do.

If he were attracted to me it would be a thousand times worse and I'd never spend time with him. I'm his oldest friend's girl, so even if he might be into me otherwise he'd never show it. My boyfriend can be scary when people cross him.

Every thing you describe is a giant "socially awkward niceguy who is in to you" red flag. I would bet a lot of money that if you announced you broke up with your boyfriend he would be asking you out within days.

Lately, just trying to get a straight answer out of people has really been trying my patience. For example. I was having tea and I asked my mom if we had any regular white sugar left. Well, we have some brown sugar, and powdered, and artificial, and well maybe blah blah.... just say we don't! It's really ok!. A yes or no question doesn't have to become a story about the reason why whatever came to be, just please get to the point. I don't need alternatives if haven't asked for them, please. Also, as I've mentioned before, being talked over or interrupted in a conversation. If you would just hold on for a second, you would find out why Jane went to jail and what happened with the kids or whatever. Its usually a side track over something inane too, completely unimportant about the core of the story. Then someone else might chime in and everything gets derailed until that comes to an end and you have to reign in back in with an "as I was saying..." Or people just plain not listening at all. They look right at you and nod and laugh or agree, and then someone else re-mentions it down the line and they light up like they never heard it before and start yapping like crazy. Or you make a reference to something when they say they are a fan and they seem like they recognize what you mean or are saying, and then it comes it and they are like "Oooh!" like its brand new to them. Basically poor conversational etiquette really skeeves me. cinni has a new favorite as of 07:15 on May 16, 2017 |

That has happened to me many times, several of which were with awkward guys like him. He shows no signs of being into me, and I don't think he has the social skills to hide it that well. I've never even noticed him checking me out, and he makes comments about other girls to me. He's just needy. He split up with his wife and lived on my couch for a couple months.

Boarding and unboarding air planes would be so much quicker if it weren't for a certain kind of person who has to take up the whole aisle to get their luggage, holding up everyone. If you have heavy hand luggage, you should just wait until there's a large enough gap that you're not getting in anybody's way.

I hate to have to tell you this but if this happens to you a lot, all your stories are really loving boring or at least you tell them in a really loving boring way. Hope this helps  e: I mean it clearly runs in the family, too.

oldpainless posted:I'm reasonably certain this guy is going to kill you and your boyfriend This. He might be debating about rape before or after the deaths. People who complain that "PC bullshit" has ruined everything. No, rear end in a top hat, PC means you can't call a woman a oval office or someone the N word or ask a gay man if he takes it up the rear end. PC means not being overtly racist, but as a well off white guy, you would know NOTHING about that. A friend of mine did a surprise documentary.....about himself. He did it over a few months, and it's actually getting shown in a small theater here. What's it about, other than himself? How most people have watched 2k movies in their lifetimes, but he is up to 10k and will keep going. I don't understand how anyone can tally that poo poo, and who would care, let alone WHO IS GOING TO SEE A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT A GUY SELF-FELLATING HIMSELF with pants on.

I kinda really want to punch the guy next to me in the face. He's eating raw vegetables which is an annoying enough sound on it's own, but he's also a lipsmacker.

I didn't say complaining about it was inherently a humble brag. I've just gotten that vibe from certain people. Either way it was barely relevant to begin with so I'll just recant that it's not a hard line stance I'm holding or anything.

The whole mate/oval office thing has become a bit of an exaggerated meme, but there is a nugget of truth there. Specifically, if you're super-close friends with someone, you can jokingly insult them to their face and it's all good, since you're such close friends that everyone recognizes it as just joking around. It's not something you can do to people you barely know.

Tiggum posted:I don't know if there's some degree of genderedness you're referring to, but "oval office" is a gendered insult in all English-speaking countries. And it's not a friendly greeting in Australia. In the UK/Ire calling some one a oval office as an insult is just a catch all word meaning very bad that has no reference to gender. Calling a man a pussy or a bitch would be a gendered insult.

Uh yea it's a friendly greeting to people you know well and it can be used as a compliment too eg: "dazza is one tough oval office, cunts built like a brick shithouse".
