I was going to post this in the drunken rambling thread, but honestly it feels more grrrr to me than simple drunken irritation.
I know this girl. Known her a pretty long time now, but known her well for about a decade. I've always kinda had the hots for her, I mean we are really close friends, but I wouldn't complain if it was much more than that. We go out to bars and parties together, and hang out in one or the others house all the time, getting drunk or watching movies or getting drunk and watching movies. We talk about everything, and have many similar interests. However, sometimes when we go out she either A) Calls up some random dude that has to come hang with us and thereby ends all conversation between me and said girl because the random dude is almost always some pretty boy d0uche that flirts with her endlessly and she gets too drunk to realize that she is totally ignoring me or B) Ends up going to the "bathroom" or to get us some "beers" and doesn't return for 45 minutes because some dude starts talking to her and she doesn't think anything is wrong with letting me sit in a wet, dew-laden lawn at 3 in the morning for 45 minutes, losing my buzz no less, while she chats it up with some "I totally lift weights" kinda dude that just wants to get in her pants. I honestly care for this girl, I mean she is one of my very best friends, but I like to fantasize that the time we spend hanging out at a party or bar or whatever together is time we are spending TOGETHER.
I told her this tonight, I was like Hey, you know if we pick up this random guy that you met somewhere that he is going to spend the entire night trying to get in your pants and I will be left wondering why I'm even here. What happens? Exactly that. She's probably banging this stupid young ass.hole while I am left chatting on Inforoo at 4:15 in the morning, wondering why I bother. AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGHH.

If you told her and she went home with some dude/ignored you then FUCK THAT SHIT! She obviously doesn't care enough about your feelings anyway if she "doesn't think anything is wrong with letting you sit in a wet, dew-laden lawn at 3 in the morning for 45 minutes"--for any reason at all-- but to have "pre sex" with some asshat she doesn't know and who could care less about investing time into finding out who she is and what she's about. Fuck all that, for reals. If it's just an isolated incident and you're ranting to clear your head then that's a totally different situation but it really doesnt' sound like it... Funny, I actually just finished a similar conversation with someone earlier. There are too many people out there who could genuinely appreciate you to go around wasting time on the ones that don't. I think I fumdled it out a little more eloquently earlier though.

I know it's a lot more commonplace here, but do cabs not exist in Paraboogie, Rockansas? ???
They suck
No, no cabs...I live in northeast arkansas in a town of about 24000. We are not advanced enough for cabs.
Oh, and I think I've also decided that I'm menatally done with these folks. I don't need people like that because pretty soon I'll be hanging with all of y'all wonderful people on the FARM!

IMO, there are way too many girls out there like this. Girls that are genuinely good people, caring, loving, interesting individuals. But get them around some sweet talking pretty boy, and all common sense goes out the window. In my experience, it becomes something of a habit with these girls and it's almost like they shun any guy who might actually care for them in exchange for "hooking up" with some random just for the hell of it. It's sad.
and wolfaroo, sometimes girls just want to be with a guy who treats them like shit. there's no rhyme or reason to it, but it's usually a low self esteem issue to need some guy to validate you at a bar by expressing that yes, he would like to have intercourse. it's sad but true. i'm sorry this girl is jerking you around (and not in a good way).

Ah, Wolfaroo, I'm sorry for your pain. Folks can be self-absorbed, right? This girl knows you'll always be there and is taking advantage of your kindness. She's out looking for the next best thing and you're left on a dew-laden lawn (which, by the way, doesn't sound half bad). Sometimes it's hard to go for the good guy...but please don't let that make you want to be a bad guy. And twohills is right, "girls just want to be with a guy who treats them like nuts." It's idiotic but (sometimes) true.
Let her do her thing, and you do yours. She may realize the error of her ways. And if she doesn’t, then good for you for getting out when you did!
Yeah I'm not worried about it by any means, was just in a bad mood that night and her actions didn't help. It wasn't the dew-laden lawn's fault, I should really stop taking it out on the poor grass. It was actually very pleasant.
Frankly, nothing can manage to irritate me for more than about 3 hours right now, because I inevitably remember Bonnaroo and my worries fly away.
Grrrr to some of our store managers. There's no reason to be rude to me when I call your store!! We all have a job to do, and we should work together, not against each other. There's no reason to hang up on me, be mean, or get an attitude when I call. Because I WILL call you back until you give me what I need. And possibly call your district manager and dash all of your hopes of moving up in the company. Yes, I can be mean too!!!!

The saddest "Grr"
I sold my roo ticket this year. Not because of some emergency, or money, or anything like that. Just because this year felt different. I could tell a by late march my heart wasn't into it anymore. I've been trying to distance myself from inforoo because I was looking forward to seeing so many people again and meeting some of the new ones, this community always makes me like roo more.
I know it's the right decision, but that doesn't mean I am any happier about making it.
I know it's not relevent to a lot of people because I have been so non existent around here lately....but I just had to grr about it.

It's not that roo' itself was different to me; I was pretty excited about the lineup, really excited about seeing everyone again, I was planning this years bonnaroo last year, everything was the same but I felt like something wasn't right with me. Good lord, that sounds bad!
I have faith that I am not done with roo yet! Next year will be calling my name I'm sure of it. You guys just have an extra mimosa at the brunch for me!!!!
Grrrrr for having training all day about something I am not one bit interested in
Do you ever get training in something you ARE interested in? I have not found that to be the case in my ______ years of employ.
yea sometimes...I get a real big nerd chub when we get new technology in that I get to train on. However this is not one of them but the guy doin the training is super hot so I suppose Im alright with it now lol

1st thing's 1st: nerd chub. Love it.
Secondly, how about being the trainer on a topic you are not at all interested in? I led a training session today that was painful for me. I can't imagine how my audience felt. Oy.

GRRRR... Somebody broke into my garage last night and stole all the CDs out of my car. Suspiciously, that is the only thing they took out of my entire garage and they didn't appear to go through my mom's car which is a lot nicer than mine. But luckily for me, I only carry copies of CDs in my car for this exact reason. I'm just very confused by the whole situation.

Grrrr.
I had diversity training for four hours at work today and was completely ostracized because I was the only person in this session (about 45 people) who had been arrested. Give me a break! We live in a college town! Be a little bit more open-minded!

Grrr.... mother-in-law from hell visited today.... she told me that I need to get knocked up since I just turned 27 and she was pregnant with my husband when she was 27..... then followed that up with it's about time you start trying....
I hate living in this area because the people around here think that you are just SUPPOSED to do something just because everyone else does it....
What if I don't want kids? What if I want to take some time and travel and meet some goals I have before considering having any? Why do people think everyone should have kids?
I feel kinda stuck in a place where I don't fit in.... I so badly feel the need to move far away from this backwoods, overly conservative, boring place.
I love Bonnaroo because it makes me feel like I really do fit in somewhere!

I really don't mind not having air conditioning anymore but all the critters that get in from leaving the doors and windows open are driving me bonkers! People in my family have always told me mosquitoes love me because I'm sweet but I just counted 43 bites.... and that's with bug spray Grrrr....

I am right there with you, Melissa! My sister-in-law had my niece Tuesday and now every single person I see asks when I'm having one Unless I meet some dude that miraculously changes my mind I don't think I'm cut out to have my own... and that's just the way it is so folks need to deal. I also live in a tiny little town... I love it most of the time but man I can't wait to travel away from it. Just don't let people get to you! Especially mother-in-laws! There are plenty of people out there running around having kids. No need to rush

WORD! I feel ya, I'm 27 and Russ is 30. We're not even married yet and people are asking us when are we going to have children.
ALL the families in our new neighborhood have children and some of the women even looked shocked when we said we didn't have any. Then they started saying things like "well you better hurry up!" To which I replied that we have just gotten engaged, we are not even getting married until September of 2010 and we want to enjoy our younger years without children, and we have plenty of time to have kids since we are so young.
One of them actually said that we should be done having our children by now and that we, in fact, do not have much time. Wow.
You need to hurry up and move close to us! Then all of the ladies can gossip about us childless hussies while we go out and drink sangria! ;D
Grrrr....
Unless
