Get it off your chest!

niamh, he's only trying to show you that he tocks at many challanges you throw at him, he's triyng to impress you, his mistake was to not drop the fact that he got owned in some video game and now he's embarrased because he lost in front of you and he thinks the only way he can redeem himself is by beating the video game and being persistent, this could show you that he is a persistent son-of-a-b**** and may be good to have for future problem's although in my family it has caused the exact same amount as it has fixed

[applepie]

Niamh, I would be mad too, but I have to agree with Silent X. He may be just showing off, or if he is like the men I know and love then he is simply too caught up in winning to know how much time has passed. Now that I think about it, I'm a woman and I still get so focused on beating something that I will persist for hours until I complete my objective I hope things get better, but try not to be too mad... boys love their video games. Even the fully grown ones

[Bakiryu]

Is just video games are so addictive, once i went for 48 hours trying to beat one. Is like.....eh (try to remember feminine thing....) oooh! Shoe shopping! He might be too caught up in the game to think....

[barbara0207]

How about tit for tat? Couldn't you just ignore him when he's eventually finished playing just saying you're busy? Maybe he'll see what he did to you then.

[spa girl]

Okay, does this bug anyone else? I go through the drive-thru, place my order at the speaker, drive around the corner & see the arm of the girl (yes, it seems like it's always a girl) dangling out of the window with my bag of food! What is that all about? How much time do you think she saves by doing that instead of actually waiting for me to get there so she can politely hand me the bag? I swear, one these times I am just gonna slow down enough to grab the bag out of her hand & keep on driving.

Thanx for the thread, I feel a little better.

[Pensive]

Why do people have to make jokes which hurt others at least once in five minutes they talk! And then they expect others to take those jokes happily with a smile on their faces. What the hell is that? Jokes are good, teasing sometimes is okay, even harsh teasing can tolerated at times, but again and again? It's just mad!

Now if only that WAS the case but believe me its not. Its an online game and he spends any spare time he has playing it. Which mean... hardly any time with me. He only rings me when things have happened on the game, but yet has the nerve to be snotty with me for not ringing him as much as i use to. There is only so many times one can hear 'can i ring u back i'm just doing something at the moment.' And thats if he answers the phone. Its come to the point where he doesnt even wait for me to reply and just hangs up! He's even got all his mates playing the game now so when i do meet up with him and if any of them call his phone, i'm egnored while they talk about their allience etc. Now do you really understand why i'm pissed off? and to make matters worse when he goes on hols with the lads he wants me to look after his "whatever" for him. Told him no as i've no interest in it and he got pissed off! Three years to babysit the computer game thats more importsnt than me in his life? dont think so!

If you are going to be riding your bike to work in the street you had better go the speed limit, Stop at all red lights and stop signs. Don't cut across the street unless you don't mind being hit by a 4,000 lb SUV. Move to the right if going slower than traffic. Obey the same laws that all other moving vehicles have to obey. But bicyclists think that they are chamelions. There all over the road, where ever they want to go and then when they get hit they're so surprised.

ok niamh, there's one of two ways you can do this, i'm guessin gthis game is either warcraft or diablo. you can play it yourself, (although you may not like it) and use that tiem to sort of "bond" with your friend, or you can say "it's either me or the game" since he doesn't spend much time with you anyway it's not going to leave that big of a hole in your life to drop him like a four year old cheese slice. and if he truly cares about you, then he will drop the game and be around more, if you have to say this more than once, he's not listening to you or doesn't think your serious, then follow through and leave him. go on in your life.

on mackinac island, mi, those people are called fudgies and the saying is, "you may know how to ride a bike, but there are strange people who do strange things, they will hit you with their bike that they don't know how to ride" (or something along those lines) and you have to remember, hitting them with you SUV is called murder and you can go to prison for that,although the judge might understand and leave you alone. just honk your horn at them and they'll run, they may hate you, scream at you, do many things other than move, but they will move. if they don't move, drive along behind them with horn blazing and it will eventually get their attention. showing them the common road greeting (the bird) as you pass by is very wholesome feeling. always remember this there is no such thing as Road Rage, it is really called Road Justice often assissted by a tire iron. read the alphabet of manliness(or something like it) and you'll understand.

If it's as bad as that already, your friend may be addicted (happens to more and more people nowadays). He can hardly think anything else but that computer game, he can't help it. That means he needs professional help. But probably he won't see that he does. If he has any feelings for you left, he may see reason if you talk to him about it and threaten to leave him.

I would drive off the road before I hit a bicyclist, by the way I drive a Prius. It's just that they don't feel the need to follow the same rules that everyone else must follow.

[Mortis Anarchy]

You know, maybe I'm just being childish and a tad bit jealous...but I don't care. I'm tired of my dad. He is only home 2-3 times a week and when he is home he is always off doing things with my brother. He never says hi anymore or call me nicknames like he used to. I think the longest conversation we've had in the past 3 months was, Hows your studying going? You really should put more effort into it....never hi, how have you been, what have you been up to, whats interesting...never anthing interesting...we used to sit outside at night and talk...talk and talk and talk. Now he goes and hangs out with my brother all the time...and when he is gone my dad choses to ignore me or yell at me. He doesn't even say bye to me when he leaves.

I get it entirely now. I'd be hopping mad too. My sister is obsessed with online games the same way, and I just don't get the attraction. I would try to talk with him reasonably about it, since ending a three year relationship (if I understood you correctly) shouldn't normally be done lightly. If he can't get it under control and take notice that you need some of his time also then make a decision on what you want to do. I really hope that things get better for you. You could always cut his computer cord

[Video Drone]

What game is it, WoW, Lineage? Sheesh. I never got into those MMORPG's for some reason, a couple million people did, tho. But with a guy who's a gamer, you better be a gamer yourself, you'll have much to discuss... But if it's an addiction, addictions are hard to deal with, very hard... If he spends more than weeks on it playing all day long it's an addiction. You really need harsh measures here. Cutting the cord, seriously.

Games are actually becoming dangerous. Well...

YOU WERE WARNED

To Mortis Anarchy
Wow, that's really horrible. Did you try talking to him about this?

[Shalot]

What is wrong with women in the workplace? My coworker (we'll call her Tammy) is a bleach-blonde, cigarette-smoking, pick-up truck driving, high-heels wearing, tough-talking WITCH from hell and I hope she rots there.

How dare her burst into my cubicle talking about filing and proper procedure? Her "qualifications" for the job consist of a high school diploma and running her husband's business and now that he dumped her wrinkly old arse, she has to come get a job with the rest of us who don't have actual assets and she hasn't quite figured out that she is no longer in charge. hmphhhhhh

:seething rage:

someone should choke her in the neck (that saying always cheers me up. where else would you choke someone?)
