Ok, Im not meaning any of you guys. I mean the Losers we may have once known. And yes, they are a proper noun. Complete Capital L.
Back in the days when I was in the disability sector, I had a great job and met some wonderful folks. One in particular. And no he was not a client! We became excellent friends. Things cruised along as they do, we had a semi issue of the colleague thing, but we were both planning to move onto other things. He into Probation and Parole and me into general youth work. Or DOCS. I was still undecided. Not my point, but anyway...we went out, spent time together, always had a great time. Things weren't rushed, but I didnt care, I was never in a hurry back in those days. One night we went out to one of our fave pubs. It was the usual night, met some friends, drinks, ya know those nights. There was a call over the loudspeaker "*cough*, you have a call at the bar." He gives me this strange look and says he wont be long. I say yeah whatever, im off to play pool. I come back after a while and sit down and this girl walks in. I only noticed her cos I thought, "gee she looks like me, poor thing!" But she walks right over to us. *cough* says, "um, this is my girlfriend..."
I have not spoken to the guy since. Not a word. People like that, I have nothing to say to. I think this is the only real screw up I have made in judging someone. What pissed me off most after a bit was how wrong we can be when we think we know someone. It actually scared me because I would so definately not have picked him to be that type. It scared me off relationships for a long time, I doubted myself to pick the genuine types. I just wondered how the hell you do it the right way without being shitted on.
So if anyone wants to share, tell us about your asshole loved ones, or your skank bitch exes. Funny or genuine, I hope no one replies cos that means you dont know any of them! Or just dont want to reply... hehe.
