That was it, the full extent of the conversation.
Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind helping people and if I have info they need I’m more than happy to give it. I’m not a total asshole who just gets pissed off if people need something from me.
What pisses me off is when people I know seem to only acknowledge my existance in times of need. Maybe it’s because I don’t have that many friends here, hell, maybe I don’t have that many friends because I’m so fussy about what they do, who knows. The thing is though, I want friends that call me up and chat just for the sake of chatting. People who want to hang out, do things and get to know me…
This one person in particular will message me, ask me how to do / how to use / where to find / what to do with – something, then tell me about her plans to meet up with another (mutual) friend in town to sit on a terrace in the sun and have drinks etc… but doesn’t ever offer for me to go along.
Again, don’t get me wrong… I also don’t expect people I know to include me on everything they do, but I guess I’m a different kind of person. If I’m talking to one friend and am asking their help with something and have plans to meet another friend to do something nice later. I’ll either tell them about it and ask them to come along, or just keep my mouth shut about my plans.
Hell, I even found this chick’s job for her. (Forwarded her to the shitty job I used to have… which is equally shitty for her but hey, it’s money)
Bah I don’t know. I’d like the girl and I’d really like to be friends, but I can’t say I’m getting the same feeling from her.
People piss me off, especially number 19 atm.
I hear ya. I get it all the time from techno-stupid people.
I too do not mind helping people, but at the same time, I would appreciate it if you SPOKE TO ME AT OTHER TIMES.
GAH!
i get that a lot myself. If people need a ride somewhere, or some one to work for them or just any little thing in general they call me. But when it comes to going out to parties and just hanging out, they some how forget all about me… assholes.
Hi there Bree-ah or Tammy :=)
An expat in NL yeehaw!
Just read thru your blog/site. I reckon I know a LOT about you already lol (makes me wanna change my ‘About Me’ now, it’s crap).
Anyway, I’m near Tilburg, near the Efteling (I guess you’ve been there already, right?) A lot of the stuff you write about I can relate to.. but the list is endless so I’m not gonna bore you with that stuff.. (At least not right now, hehe)
Great to meet another blogging NL Expat, catch up with you again I hope!
