Got Something You Want To Say?

Yeah I am starting to think he swings both ways... :crazy:

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

:hehe: :hehe:

After all these posts Im thinking there has to be more to this for him to be so irate.

How often have you pissed him off in the past? Because in other ways he sounds pretty cool. :confused: Maybe you should buy him dinner, if he's such an old pal, and take him off your prank list. Since obviously he is capable of a total sense of humor failure! :lol:

Lifunk, this may sound crazy, but maybe a good old fashioned Japanese style apology is what's needed at this point. I don't think you were wrong, and you don't think you were wrong, but what we think isn't important. Your roomate thinks you were wrong. A little "soumimasen/gomen nasai/yorushiku onegashimasu" couldn't hurt.

So we talked it out last night. Somehow I got myself to apologize (that was considered by my own standards really low, since I never apologize to anyone for anything . N-E-wayz, I told him the reason why I did it and he smiled and told me he was wondering how much longer he was gonna have to drag this in order to get me to hit my rock bottom and apologize. Now I feel relieved, happy and pissed at the same time. Pissed? yeah pissed, he dragged this on just so that I could sink terribly low and apologize. I think that was pretty F'-ed up. He knows that I feel like shit after I make an apology... That was straight rotten.

I just wanted to say: NANYATE!? :bleh:

Currently I am not talking to a childhood friend for several months now because of his lack of ability to apologize. He'll wait until I call him and then act like nothing ever happened. Im not backing down this time though. He really F*&^ed up.

An apology is an important and powerful thing sometimes.

My issue was not about pineapple juice though :hehe:
I thought that was really funny. :lol:

[sob story]
back in 5th grade, i had a blow out with a buddy of mine.. and all my friends sided with him, and *sad music* I basically had no friends til I got into high school.. bad time to be a loner, when you're supposed to be learning social skills.

so in high school, i made some friends, and they happened to make friends with the few ex-friends i had from 5th grade (everyone else moved or went to another HS). So we talked and hung out a bit, i didn't care about it anymore. after a year, he finally said sorry for all the crap they put me through... and we're still good friends... i'd already forgotten about it, and i never even mentioned it, but my respect for him went way up after his apology.
[/sob story]

So... childhood friends always work things out... i've known him since 2nd grade, and im happy to know him now.

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "I never apologize, I'm sorry, but that's just the way I am." I'm glad thinks got worked out Lifunk, but yeah, you're right, he is kind of a jerk for making you apologize. :shakehead:

Ok OK.
The day I got divorced not only did he not bother to remember, or call me the whole week. Wrapped up in his own deal, literally nothing important. But when I finally called him, he gave me about five minutes to discuss it rather impatiently, then he wanted to talk about Hurricane Katrina. This is a week after the hurricane struck. After a half hour, (this was the DAY I signed my divorce papers after being married and in love for 22 years, mind you) after a half hour of him talking at me about Katrina, I said I was really depressed and could we finish our conversation about it in a few minutes. He replied that I should get a grip on my own problems after hearing about the hurricane. Simply because he wasnt done talking. I know him.
Personally, I feel that one is allowed a personal crisis' as well and they shouldnt need to be minimized, even if there is a hurricane. And you can be sure he didnt feel that way two years ago when he got divorced and called to talk for HOURS on end about his deal. After one call where he complained to me for two hours about his life he had the nerve to say how "disappointing" his friends were.
Anyway I asked his what he planned to do about the hurricane actively. Which since he planned to do nothing he got mad and hung up on me.
SO I called back only to get his answering machine, the wuss, and told him when your oldest friend is calling about that sort of thing you dont hang up.
Then I got the most Pompous email back.
It was titled: Tough Times.
And started off with "we all have them" and then something about KAtrina again that I should get perspective.
I emailed back that next time he had a personal crisis Id be happy to remind him he should be grateful he wasnt in a tsunami. And then the site to donate $ to the Red Cross or Humane Society and that I haddonated myself.
He emailed back he donated to the Red Cross. So we are on polite terms in emails now. Ive emailed a joke since. But havent phoned. And he wont until I do. Old pattern. He has health issues so Ive asked myself if he died tomorrow would I feel I was petty and the answer is no.
A friend doesnt do that kind of stuff. At least I dont do that to my friends and expect better treatment than that.
An apology would be wise in this case.
He may be smart but definitely not wise.
