You guys are in the same state and still have to email each other?

[ewen]

Some people email their work colleagues, when they're in the same building!? Don't they Pax?

Sometimes when they're right around the corner.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Or in the next cubicle.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Great. One of my friends just emailed to tell me she just got a new job and her last day is the 13th. She's one of my Smug Marrieds friends, and she's been getting on my nerves lately, but yeah...








I'm watching Office Space when I get home.

and to the smug marrieds

I never want to be like that when I'm married.

**Walks into the bar with a very look...**

I'm just here until the hallway is clear, so I can go out to the living room and... ahem... borrow a plant...

... I need something to put one of my own plants in - and everything is dying in the livingroom anyways!

*sips on red bull*


Oh hell, when is someone hooking me up with an IV of this stuff?

and to the smug marrieds

what's a smug married?

a woman that'll kind of rub it in the face of an unmarried woman that she's married?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Tell Abby to rent Bridget Jones's Diary on her way home tonight. ("I bet he likes your tits in that top" - remember Abby, remember that? )

Smug Marrieds are basically like that. They can never hang out with you because they're too busy being married.

 

[ewen]

hmm, ok. strange. dunno why being married should stop people hanging out with their friends.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I don't know why, either, but it happens all the time.

So, what'll you have, Ewen? Guinness OK?

 

[pax]

It's not even so much that they stop hanging out with their friends (though that's part of it), but that they make their single friends feel like there's something wrong with them because they're unmarried.

e.g. the dinner scene in Bridget Jones' Diary: "Yes, when are you going to get sprugged up, old girl? Can't wait forever, you know!" "Tick, tick, tick!"
