No matter how trivial you think it is they will over share.

It leads me to almost leaving angry texts.<br /><br />Steph- you make good points I didn't think about. And will take the advice, thanks!<br /><br />Melissa- agreed, its about the budget thing.<br /><br />Adrienne-thanks.

So, days later you might get a random message answering a question you asked in that text. It's just a pure memory thing. I do the same thing with my emails. :P Mind like a sieve; most things just fall through...<br /><br />Also, when it comes to smalltalk, I'm the odd one out (this comes right after Adrienne's comment. HA!). I don't do small talk. I'm so shit at it, I'd rather pretend you're not there because if you say something about the weather, I'll end up talking about my personal problems within five minutes. It's a skill, trust me. :) When talking to complete strangers, you do take that risk. I live in the UK, the land of small talk. And I work in a local corner shop, where I'm meant to converse with the regulars. The younger ones I can deal with, talking about the weekend and drunken debauchery, but older people? Not so much. It's all because I was born and raised in a culture where silence wasn't something to be avoided but a perfectly normal part of a social interaction. (Yeah. Finnish people are weird.)<br /><br />So yeah, I'm a freak. :)<br /><br />xxTheHurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279389577768381661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844104853412353746.post-20557195300786475292010-01-25T23:16:32.062-08:002010-01-25T23:16:32.062-08:00S1: I think that's pretty standard.

Mainly because this sort of crap usually happens when you've gone out with a carefully planned budget for the evening, and then you end up paying more because someone decides to split the bill and suddenly the $40 you planned to spend (including tip) turns into $50 or $60. The only time I think this is appropriate is if it is agreed to split the bill evenly BEFORE ordering, and if everyone agrees to order menu items in the same price range. If I order the $10 salad and you order the $30 surf and turf, then sorry we are not splitting the bill down the middle.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318688946594143694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844104853412353746.post-22159334037580810322010-01-25T19:58:20.142-08:002010-01-25T19:58:20.142-08:00The dinner thing?

Also drinks should never be included in bill splitting.<br /><br />The friends inviting friends thing is a pain in the arse, but not really rude, unless they take over the whole event.<br /><br />The text thing annoys fuck out of me. I ALWAYS reply, even if it's only to acknowledge that I got it. That is just plain rude.<br /><br />The lifestory thing, I don't ask people how they are anymore, I say "nice to see you" or "you're looking well".

It was really annoying.<br /><br />The texting thing is also annoying. You know what else bothered me recently, this texting conversation with a "friend" (we've gone back and forth being friends over the last couple years)<br /><br />Her: Hey<br />Me: Hey, what's up<br />Her: Ntm<br />Me: Oh ya, how's your weekend<br />Her: Good, you<br />Me: Really good and laidback, thanks.
