Forum rules


Rules

1. All normal forum rules apply.

2. NO JOKES! This isn't the topic for funny pictures or wise ass remarks.

3. Serious topics need to be well thought out when written, they also need to have well thought out replies. Please try to write more than a single sentence. Back up your opinion with facts or something else.

4. Keep a cool and calm head, especially about things such as politics, gay rights, religion, etc. People are allowed to have differing opinions than you, please don't view them as personal attacks, please don't start any sort of major drama or get all offended here. In the end, we're all friends still.

5. Use common sense when posting in here, which simply means ask yourself if this is something really worth posting, are you intentionally being mean to someone, if your topic is ridiculously controversial (IE. Baby Eating), are you accidentally bashing Christianity on Easter Day, etc.

6. In your posts, please try to clarify whether you're speaking based on fact or personal experiences as it will lead to less misunderstandings. Please do not state opinions as if they were facts without proof to back it up.

7. NO DRUNK POSTING.

Failure to comply with any of these rules (additional rules may be added in the future as needed) will result in a warning or perhaps a banning from the 'Why So Serious?' sub-forum. The severity of the punishment works in tandem with the severity of your actions.

Ok so I'm just back in for the worst night out ever!

Work reunion shindig thing and I haven't seen some of them in several years to I went out hoping for a good laugh and some banter.

Instead I got the shittiest night out because the same personal problems between 2 people occured again.

I worked with these 2 for 5 years listening to them bicker and moan and I honestly thought that after this much time that these issues would have been resolved and left behind.

But no, same shit again and it completely ruined my night out!

Thing is I want to basically tell both of them the truth, but didn't want to get caught up in the bickering that I put up with for so long. I just got so fed up I left, i told one that if I wanted to go back in time I'd have invented a time machine!

Why is it that some people are so stuck in the past that even after the best part of a decade the same shit happens. I dunno, I'm probably rambling but this was my first night out in a while and it bombed and I needed to vent.

Shit like that sucks. Sometimes people grow out of it, sometimes they don't.

Depends on if it's something important or something stupid.

If it was something important, then, it's something altering that happened to them ... however, this is most likely not the case. If they're still fighting over something stupid, then either they really have a problem with each other (which, emotionally, gives warrant to create a conflict out of anything) or, one of them (or both) have an issue with letting things go and develop grudges, which means they probably need to see a therapist to find out how to alleviate that kind of attitude.

The sad thing is ... if it's the last situation ... they probably have very miserable lives.

Yeah, that does suck. I'm assuming the issue they're bickering over probably isn't even really a big issue, right? That's just how some people are though, too proud to let go of the little things, too stubborn to move on. I would say you did exactly what I would have done, and just gotten away from it. If trying to help so many years ago did nothing, it probably won't do anything now. Maybe when they realize people tend to move away from that sort of behavior they'll understand and try to move on (Probably not, but no use in going through the same crap).

I was really hoping they would have grown out of it
