How long can someone hold a grudge for???
Seriously...Yesterday afternoon, me and a mate I have known since 1989 were at our local shops (I now live in the same area I was bought up in, although I lived away from there for 8 years.) getting some food and what not when one of the retarded trolley collectors almost ran into me with a freight train of trolleys in hand and a scowl on his face. I looked at him, expecting an apology or at least an excuse me, however all I got was a "Watch yourself dickhead." I was shocked at first, then saw the humour in it all and laughed. My mate was in tears at all of this. he then asks me if I recognised the bloke. I looked at him, with his receding hairline, expanding waist line and face that looked like life had really taken its toll on him, and answered in the negative. Most people I know are much better looking. He went on to tell me that i should remember as I gave him a good towelling up at the Yates Xmas bash of 1996.
When he said that I vaguely remembered the guy (was a much different person back then I blame the Army mentality, coupled with nature) and laughed some more. Seriously, almost ten years later, he tried to get vengeance by running me down with a trolley (I know it was vengeance as mymate went on to say how he had seen the guy around the cricket club a few times over the years and everytime, he had mentioned me and that 'one day he would get that mother fucker'.). This did kind of make me think that back in the day, I had my share of 'altercations', perhaps there is a band of troubled 30something males who have pictures of me with crosshairs drawn on them...are they all doing high profile jobs now such as trolley pushers?? Do they have meetings???
Seriously, I may never leave my house again...this is doing my head in...

About 2.5 years ago one of my friends got very upset over something I did BEFORE my 21st Birthday. Let's do that math on that... I am now 29.5 so therefore... 29.5 - 2.5 = 27 - 20 = 7.
SEVEN years, she waited seven years to get upset. Again. That's what I found baffling... I can understand being upset AT THE TIME because I did act like a bit of a slapper and pash the guy she was sort of seeing... but we had it out then. And the guy in question and ALL of his mates did not get invited to my 21st because I didn't want her to get upset. And she yelled at me in Rumours toilets in front of people but I let her because I deserved it.
And then we were all fine again for years.. until she suddenly emailed me about it. And then I emailed her back and we didn't really talk at all for a while.
I guess it's sort of like breaking up with someone, if you don't get the answers you wanted at the time or get to say what you wanted you just fester on it for years and years.
We're fine again now. I hope.
But as for you mister, at least you can laugh at him because he is ugly with a shit job.
I kind of figured no matter how bad I beat him years ago, life beat him better in the end.
A slanging match in the Rumours toilets...classy!!
Brilliant. You could not be more correct,
Did you ask him if he wanted some salsa for that chip on his shoulder?
From memory I did no slanging, I'd done enough damage. I just stood my the handdryers and took it,
I can't believe you didn't know I edited porn, I thought everyone knew that, though of course, sometimes people get confused and think I starred IN porn. Nonetheless, if you have not already done so, you should read this post of mine. Then you will know exactly what you are dealing with
I guess sometimes there is little you can do other than take it...
Take it like the bitch that you are... (Me, not you)
I don't think you are a bitch as such...you may well have things in your past that you look back on and think badly of, but ultimately, you are all ok
I like to think I am a bitch, but I am too soft :)
And by reading your list, you have lead an amazing life...I should do a list like that, but it would be lucky to make it to point 14.
and by the way, how tall are you?
I know... smoking pot at 14... Is it any wonder I am terrified of being a godparent?
I think I am 5 ft 11.5
wow, you are lofty!
Pot at 14...or at least grass clippings and gum leaves at 14...disgraceful!
Yes, yes. I am quite tall. My favourite is the guys that used come up to me in bars and tell me that smoking would stunt my growth or ask "How's the weather up there?"
I would just ask them how it felt to have such a small penis
Well... that is what I was thinking inside... verbalising any comebacks is beyond me
Do you like being tall? I only ask because a lot of tall girls I have known wish they were shorter cause they feel self conscious about it or something.
Personally I have always had a bit of a thing for tall girls...much like george Costanza, I always wondered what it would be like to be with a woman who was like 6'5"
Hmm... yes. I think I like being tall. What I don't like is a lot of men are not tall... or they are gay.. it really cuts down on my chances. I have dated a couple of guys who were shorter than me and I just feel weird.
I love tall men. I once snogged a guy who was 6ft 9 but that was just stupid.
My neck hurt after that
see now 6'9" is circus freak material. If you are 6'9" and not playing pro basketball, what the hell are you doing???
I once was with a Dutch backpacker for about 3 weeks that was 6'2" at a guess. Good times
Yeps. He was a basketballer. A complete moron as well but that is a story I will share with you one day over beer, remind me to tell you the story about the Basketballer
duly noted and added to the list
That list must getting realllllly long.
Incredibly...is more of a pamphlet now than a book
of course I meant list
What a rubbish attempt at revenge! Would it really have been difficult for him to carry a towel around with him on the chance he may bump into you? It fits the eye-for-an-eye belief perfectly, and you'd have much more shocked when a fat, balding stranger jumped out from behind some bushes and started whipping you with linen.
yes, that would have been much for eye for an eye...and much more humorous...
I think something was lost is translation somehow!
Lord, it's all a bit Village People YMCA for me
So you are picturing him coming out from behind bushes, dressed as an Indian/Cop/Biker/Sailor/Construction worker flicking linen.
Yes, Village People do haberdashery perhaps?
To me, a grudge is nothing more than a place to park your car.
ps. you guys have got to be setting some sort of record for longest blog conversations. I'm impressed.
The haiku thread was a pearler...you should really contribute
