How unlucky can ya be?

[Biggles of 266]

I went out last night for the birthday party of a girl that one of my mates works with. All my mates came too, including one who wasn't actually invited. We just figured, hey, may as well invite him anyway, right?

How stoopid I was.

The girl whose birthday it was is... great. She's cute, funny and nice as anyone you'll ever meet. I was really wanting to get to know her better by the end of the night.

Which is why I was particularly annoyed to see her latch straight onto the mate who wasn't invited, and spend the rest of the night with her arms around him, ignoring me.

This would be annoying on its own. However, it's even better considering I'm the stoopid bastard who invited him in the first place. Her and I had been flirting all week, we've talked a bit before, and suddenly one of my best friends is being led off to a dark corner of the club...

Here's the lesson kids: don't do anything nice for anyone, ever! 😛 If you think I'm serious, get someone you like the look of and hope to go out with, get your best friend who would normally have no chance of meeting this girl, and stand around all night not being able to drink (designated driver SUCKS) watching them touch each other. Then you'll know just how great it is. Oh, also, make sure everyone around you is suffering from a severe case of alcohol-induced LACK OF TACT. This way you'll be certain to be told by at least a dozen drunk people, "wow, they really like each other! Look at them kissing!"

Bitter? Who, me? 😛

That's the lesson to life.

Good people get stepped on.

And to succeed you have to step on some people!

It's harsh and unfortunate, but it proves true almost all of the time!!!

not only do nice guys finish last, but by the time we're done all the free beer is gone and the pretty-boys beat us up and steal our wallets.

Yep,

Biggles... what are we to do???

How can the perfect society work?

How can nice guys win???

I think we all have a friend like this.

I have a friend who will hit on anything even remotely resembling a woman. Back when I was single, I was unfortunate enough to be struck by Love At First Sight (tm) by a lovely waitress at my local eatery. Not only did the girl bear more than a passing resemblance to Tia Carrere (shwing!) but she was an actress and had been in one of my favorite musicals.

Anyway, the first night I was blessed by her presence, my friend jumps on her before I can even open my mouth, monopolizing her every moment at our table so that we can barely even place our orders.

It was months before I had the chance to speak to her myself. The good news is, my friend never made any progress with her (he never does, women run from him mostly... hehe), but the bad news is, neither did I. I did get to see her in my favorite musical though, the one with the nude scene, so at least I got to see some. 😀

anyhow, this reminds me of another time where... nah, I won't bore y'all. Needless to say, Stuff Happens. 'specially to the non-type-A's.

oh, he didn't 'steal her' or somethin' like that... she just looked straight through me and spotted him.

you might take some solace in that,if they wind up together,they'll owe you forever.

 

[Biggles of 266]

yeah, I could guilt-trip my way into heaps of good stuff 😀 Nice thinking shark 😉

Biggles my friend, sounds rough.

I say you kick his head in for bad manners and taking advantage of a situation in which he was not supposed to be privy to in the first place.

Sound reasonable? I shoulda been a lawyer...*sigh*

Cheers.😀
