So I was at the bar last night drinking with some friends. Well my friend happened to meet up with this girl he had been talking to, I guess and we're all drinking,smoking and having a good time.

Well after chilling with them for about half an hour, it becomes painfully obvious to me that that my friend had no chance whatsoever with this girl, and she's just waiting until she can get away.

So the bar's closing and they go inside to finish their drinks and me and another friend are outside smoking and laughing about the situation between my hapless friend and the girl he's chosen who's about 3x too hot for him and about 8 years too young for him.

As often happens when me and my friends start drinking together we decide to rip on him a little. After some harmless ragging about a situation that happened awhile ago that he REALLY needs to get over and stop beating himself up over, he stormed off crying and peeled out of the parking lot.

We had another good laugh after he left when I brought up how I could've been a lot meaner and brought up the fact that it didn't appear that his hopeful squeeze didn't appear to follow him outside, and probably ducked out the side door.

I couldn't believe what happened. Apparently, after talking to friends of ours, they said that this is a common occurrence with him, but I'm amazed that someone can go three decades in life (and go through the military) without gaining some thicker skin.

So do any of you have friends like these? The kind of people that fly off the handle when it's pretty clear to all involved that everyone else is just trying to have a good time. The "serious business" people.

I'm the one in my circle of friends, at least I used to be. I've got a lot better over the years and rarely snap anymore, the problem is that I'm very bad at reading people so I struggle to distinguish between light-hearted ribbing and full-on piss taking.

I've been on internet forums for too long to not have thick skin. lol

That and being semi obese for a portion of my life. I've lost A LOT of weight over the last few years and am extremely healthy now.

As for my friends, I can't think of any that behave like that because my relationship with all my friends is very much like that. We joke on each other all the time. If we go too far, we let one another know. No big deal. I do know people who are like that though.

Yeah, he sounds a bit precious but you sound like an arse.

 

[llamadux]

Apologize.

I came in this thread with high hopes.

I leave disappointed.

Maybe his sore spot is the one you just hit. Tbh,that was a pretty dick move if you knew how he is and especially knowing how bad he was doing that night with the girl.

You're suppose to be a wingman and support your friend in those situations you douche bag.

Well you shouldn't have been such a horrible bully, that makes you much more pathetic than your friend imo.

 

[DR JUPES]

Because you're probably best mates with all the girls because your gay P.Smith, you probably don't quite understand the concept of lad banter.

Roy just broke the bro code

Brilliant.

Roy just broke the bro code

No, his mate broke the Bro Code by being a pussy.

Rename this thread to 'made my friend cry,' more accurate.

Also puts into perspective how much maturity you have gained through the years.

 

[Chadwick Winebarger]

Apologize.

I tried, but he didn't call me back. Oh well, he'll probably realize he overreacted and move on.

Maybe his sore spot is the one you just hit. Tbh,that was a pretty dick move if you knew how he is and especially knowing how bad he was doing that night with the girl.

Actually it is a sore spot for him, and that's the problem. It's also where a lot of his other problems stem from.

that wasn't very nice russel

Wasn't trying to be mean. Than again I really didn't sugarcoat things for him either. A little bit of tact, might've been necessary in that situation.

You're suppose to be a wingman and support your friend in those situations you douche bag.

I tried doing my part, but when she started hitting on me, there was really nothing I could do. :hmm: Actually thinking now, that might've been part of the reason why he got so upset in the first place. Oops.

Thank you

Well you shouldn't have been such a horrible bully, that makes you much more pathetic than your friend imo.

I wasn't trying to bully him. I was trying to get him to lighten up. If you take yourself too seriously than life is never going to be any fun and mistakes you make are going to seem like insurmountable obstacles that you're never going to be able to make up for. The best thing you can do is just laugh them off and take the power they have over you away. That's what i tried showing him, but on the other hand, I could just be a horrible bully.
