someone associated with me by marriage does this all the fucking time. she rings, on her WAY TO the party, and says. "reckon it would be safe to leave my car parked at the river over night?"
"um... no"
"damn... i really wanted to have a drink tonight"
"well... against everything i believe in, you can probably fit in an early drink and then switch to water"
"oh, i can't. i'm still on my provisional licence, remember?"
oh, yeah, you're a dumbarse "oh yeah, i forgot. you really oughtta get your full licence, dude... it's been 4 years now..."
"so... do you think my dear brother would pick me up afterward?"
firstly, i aint the brother, but i'm gonna guess no... secondly, i'm really busy hanging the washing out right now and don't give a shit that you've waited until you're ON THE WAY to this party to arrange a way to fit in a drink, and also, you're annoying. "well, you'd have to ask him this as i can't say"
let's also consider the geography of this request by the world's largest dumbarse. she wants the dear brother to drive 30 mins north to then drive her 45 minutes west afterwards, then load up our 3 sleeping children so we can pick up her stupid car from a really shitty, shifty carpark down by the river, then the next day arrange a place to meet her so she can collect said car? fucking NO.
