Men.. le sigh!

Background - Me trying to tell a story while the boy is completely jet lagged. He keeps falling asleep and I keep trying to wake him up. Telling him about my get together with two of his guy friends from high school - N and T. Both very heterosexual south Asian men.

Me: So then T and N and me went for a walk.
BF: hmmm... (clearly disinterested and half asleep)
Me: We bought a tonne of groceries.
BF: hm.. (hhmmss are getting shorter)
Me: We made truffles for dessert for thanksgiving
BF: (no response)
Me: Then N f***ed T.
BF: (Eyes shot wide open)

On repeating the story to the two men T and N

T: Lol.. what?
N: Ok, I need to know.. who F***ed whom?



Things I Want To Bitch About

First, people who have lame blogs (similar to mine) but proceed to publicize it with great gusto on Facebook.
Second, people who then comment on the sheer genius of these lame blogs thereby encouraging said lame blogger even more.
Third, people who make spellings bloopers in official emails. Even while using Outlook.. the damned thing has a spell checker for crying out loud!
Fourth, People who borrow money and never return it.
Fifth, those who expect you to entertain them and constantly say: I am bored. I am restless. Here is what I have to say to you - get a life, an imagination or at least a home entertainment system.
Sixth, people who talk to themselves while working in a small office space- ALOUD! Egad!
Seventh - couples who constantly talk about each other in front of each other to a third person.
Eighth - people who repeat the same stories everytime you meet them. I will excuse people who are above the age of 70 who do this. Everyone else - I have a healthy intolerance for repetition. By which I mean I could at some point be guilty of assaulting a repeat offender.
Ninth - those that start pinging/IM'ing and after the first 'hi' just disappear. Are you doing this for laughs? No, seriously... what would you do if I showed up at your door, rang the doorbell and ran away and hid?
Last (for now) people who try to walk faster than me. Are you trying to give me a heart attack? You know I can't bear to be the slow walker. Even if I am walking home after a 10hr work day. So if you walk faster than me I will have to run. Then you are just going to think I am bonkers! This is such a lose lose situation.
