The Whining and Bitching Thread

Hot damn that is one of the best episodes in all of Star Trek. Another good one is at the end of Legacy:



There's some stuff before that, but I just love that conversation.
My favorite is the speech in The Drumhead.

"You know, there are some words I've known since I was a school boy. With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably. Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on... we're all damaged."

Timeline of events:
  • I am hanging with the girlfriend, her sister, and her mother, walking back to her mother's place after a day of Christmas shopping.
  • We all decide to order Chinese food. The "Dinner For Four" deal turns out to be about 11 to 12 bucks for each of us. I get excited.
  • Turns out when we get to her place, that she neglected to mention we would also be feeding her youngest son, a fifteen-year old pothead failure who is pretty much the very definition of "leech".
  • I get quite pissed off, as I am not paying one-quarter of the share when I would be getting significantly less than one-quarter of the dinner, and I make this quite clear to her (her mother is notorious for trying to jew people, moneywise, and has done so to us on a couple occasions, until I wisened up to her bullshit; so I've learned to not let even the smallest, most seemingly-insignificant of things slide with her).
  • The mother gets angry and causes a big argument; then she actually tries to get us each to pitch in MORE so we can get the "Dinner For Five" instead (would come to about 15 or 16 bucks each for the four of us, to feed five; fuck that).
  • I reiterate that I am not paying even a single dime extra to feed her damn son, and quite annoyed, I pretty much tell the girlfriend "fuck this, we're leaving" and we head out.
My patience for this family is wearing quite thin. Her mother knows we are struggling with bills and Christmas, and still she tried to con and deceive us into paying more than is fair. My girlfriend and her sister may not have wisened up to her bullshit, but I have.

I'd just tell the whole lot of them to go and fuck themselves, but of course I'd be sly about and just turn into a massive pothead myself and pass out on the couch at unreasonable hours until the girlfriend gets sick of it. It worked for me.

sloughfegkillers: :lol: That's actually hilarious.

How does your girlfriend feel about all of this?
She was actually quite mad at me at first, and didn't think her mother was being unreasonable at the time. She was looking forward to Chinese food for awhile, and was willing to settle for her mothers terms, simply because she was hungry.

But then later she apologized, so we split on "Dinner For Two" for just her and I, and I went and picked it up. And now rather than getting significantly less food than we should have gotten, we have leftovers for tomorrow. Whammo.

I've started standing firm lately and showing a lot of resolve, and I think it is working. I don't take her mother's bullshit lately.

I mean, I understand that she is her mother, so she is going to be a bit more forgiving. But don't expect me to be. :lol: If I think the mother is being shitty, I'll tell her right to her face.

How often do you see the mom? I'm kinda of the opinion that if its a few times a year, just make the lady happy, even if she's being a cunt. Scores huge points that you stomach it. It does seem she's a regular part of your lives though.
 
View attachment 3168 That's right. Let's not go there ok Krow, jk I don't care enough about either to argue these days can I offer you a pic of my grandmother holding a signed Revenge LP as a peace offering.

Omg. @Carpe Mortem if there was ever a time we needed your shitty Photoshopping skills now would be it. I demand a dick in that hand. Make it happen.

Sounds like a good start.
