Society & Culture Things that Shit me part X- The Tenth edition!

[Quivorir]

This has thrown me.

(In b4 Humble brag) I'm on 83k, 23, have very little expenses and am always broke. I started my job as a temp and have just gotten promotions here and there over the past 4 years.

Even if I didn't get promoted and stayed in the same job for another 18 months id be on 90k with yearly rises

I just looked up the "average wage" and truly cant believe that people live on that much money??? How????


Edit -

With the above being said I don't like my job and am going to quit to study next year.

You clearly have poor money management skills.

 

[craigos]

What do you do?

I am on 45, still at home and managing to save 2k a month.

Do you pay for rent, food, utilities Cruyffy? If I lived in the same state and didn't have a gf would easily live back with my folks for a year and save up a deposit for a house.

I give my mum $100-150 every fortnight (pay).

Well yeah cos the missus is from Seymour she stays with me M-F, we're both saving. She also gives mum money each fortnight,

So a situation has brewed within my group of school mates which shits me.

I set up a boys night while I have a free house this coming Friday about a month ago, very clearly marketed as a boys night of drinking, gaming, 2am kebab run etc. like we used to do back in the day. Now two of the five have long term girlfriends while the rest of us are on the market. Here comes the problem, one mate is attached by the hip to his missus and we all suspected he'd invite her along. We hadn't been able to get an answer out of him about it so we blatantly asked him in a group chat and turns out she gets back from 2 weeks away and will rock up later in the night. He saw this as no big deal at all and claimed he didn't care what we thought as he wanted to see her.

Everyone lost it a bit at him and asked why on earth he would invite his missus to a boys night and assume it's okay to bring her along no problem. This had been brewing for a while but no one had said anything before about it.

Curious to know what GD thinks about cracking it at him over this...

Essendon seem to offer good money at the moment for not coaching them. Two, and a bit million over the last five or so paid out for people to not be their coach. Nice work if you can get it.

Until you're in a relationship, you don't know what it's like.

Not saying what he did was right, but if she's been gone two weeks, he is obviously going to want to see her.

You probably should of made it clear from the start that it was a boys night only rather than presuming that they would get the message. If you are prepared for it maybe costing a friendship then stick to your guns otherwise ask whether it's really worth losing a friendship over. The other option of course is that he only comes until it's time to see her and he leaves.

If she has been gone for two weeks then a few more hours is not the end of the world. If he can't then he needs to say thanks, but no thanks got to see the girl, will catch up another time

 

[Quivorir]

My wife is just "one of the boys". Do you all get along with her?

 

[BotsMaster]

Leaving my sunglasses at home on a bright sunny morning in Melbourne.

Done that a couple of times where it has been raining in the morning and think "I won't need sunglasses today" and then I get to the city and can't see shit because of the sun glaring off the road.

 

[Quivorir]

My sunnies live in my car so that doesnt happen.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Yeah if it's clear it was supposed to be just the guys then inviting the missus ain't right. Even worse that he was avoiding the situation.
If he's desperate then he should have just left early.

Did she turn up at the end of the night or half way through? What happened when she arrived?

It's hard to comment without knowing the dynamics. Do they all get along? I don't think it seems like a big deal if he spent most of the night with you guys. Obviously he would have been missing her and looking forward to catching up.

Get a stripper over then blame him saying it was suppose to be a boys night

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Why can't the dude leave boys night early to go hang out with his girlfriend? Then you guys don't have to babysit her and he still gets to see her, win win right?

 

[Speck]

I have been, and I get it's a tricky situation with the two weeks away. On the other side we've had this organised for a while now in an effort to make sure we are all free.

Calling the event Boys Night is pretty clear cut to me. I don't believe it's worth losing a friendship over myself but the others have made the point very clear of what we intended.

It's more the fact he presumed he'd just bring her that gets me. I stayed out of the argument a bit as the others were getting pretty heated.

My wife is just "one of the boys". Do you all get along with her?

We do in a way but you couldn't get near classifying her as "one of the boys".

 

[Speck]

Yeah the leaving early point is a good one, he did say he will just leave when she gets there if we have such a problem with her being there. The original plan was for everyone to stay over though and we got everyone committed to that.

The dynamics of the group are very different from just us boys to the boys plus her. Nowhere near as carefree as with her.

 

[getthefooty]

To be honest it makes no sense that he would even want to bring her along, and even less sense she actually wants to go. Fair enough he wants to see her, but you don't just bring her along to an event where 5 blokes are drinking beers, eating, and playing FIFA. Just about every girl I know would hate that scenario.

 

[kfc1]

If she can deal poker, i'd let her stay

 

[Rough_Edges]

Interesting points on both sides.

My ex was clingy AF and if she was away for 2 weeks, she would've wanted to come to above boys night and furthermore I probably would've ended up saying to the fellas "yo mrs getting back tonight but still keen on coming, I'll prob leave at 10ish to go hang with her but dw I'll still smash all u kents in Fifa"

Not sure why

1. He wants her at all boys night?
2. Wouldn't he be worried about shit that good set said etc

Let us know what happens

 

[Plugger35]

Complete strangers ringing my phone and then getting pissed off when I tell them they've got the wrong number and I'm not the person they're looking for.

I got a new phone and number a few months ago and since then I've had a heap of people ringing my phone looking for other people, I think my phone number must be listed on the internet somewhere for some business or something.

I just got another call from some random bloke this morning that went something like this.

Me - "Hello"

Some Random Bloke - "Is that Charles?"

Me - "No I think you've got the wrong number"

Some Random Bloke - "Well what number is this?"

I then gave him my number and he started getting pissed off saying that's the number he had and asking me who I was like it was my fault.

I just said "I'm not telling you who I am but I'm not bloody Charles so piss off".

I didn't actually say piss off but I felt like it.

 

[TheFreshBanana]

I think a gay guy may have given a fake number

 

[grumpythecat]

Knobs who hold out of control parties in the middle of the night.
Don't mind them having a party just don't go overboard and wake the neighbours up with pointless drunken fights.

can you describe how it was out of control? it can get dangerous if they impinge on your property especially.

what's worse is if you have to get up early for work the next day. is this why the party annoyed you?

He didn't sound gay, he just sounded pissed off.
