What's the latest in people's lives?

[Sionnach Glic]

Yep. You understand it perfectly. He's being a dick to me because I told him he can't drive the car now. She really shouldn't even start it. He has to have it towed in here while the disel is still in the tank and not the engine so we can flush the tank out. He's demanding we pay for the tow, since we are the ones who say it needs to be towed.

I SOOOOOO wish that I could just tell him, "Hey, do what you want, its your car." But if I do that, then when he fucks up the engine, he'll say "Well, your guy TOLD me to drive it in!"

Sounds like the type of guy who'd blame a doctor for telling him he had X disease. Some people really can't stand to be responsible for their own actions.

Or like the type of person who never once refills the oil in his car and then blames the local mechanic when it breaks down.

Personal responsibility? What is this, 1940?

In other news, sitting in the hospital with a pregnant woman waiting on a baby.

Do you know the woman a/o are related to the baby?

[Tsukiyumi]

I assume he means his pregnant wife.

Good luck, Tyyr.

[Sionnach Glic]

Indeed, all the best!

[Mikey]

I assume he means his pregnant wife.

Good luck, Tyyr.

I don't assume and I don't judge.

Anyway, all the best wishes for everyone's health!

Sucked in a general sort of way, or was filled with specific examples of suckage?

And is then somewhat put out when the entire forum starts laughing.

Both, it was in fact so bad that I was waiting for someone to piss me off just so I could hit them...

And who may or may not have been a jerk?
