Advice You Can Live Without

Sarcastic Sage

My friend of 15 years

My friend of 15 years recently broke it off with his fiancee of 6 and a half years and started dating her best friend who also happened to be her brothers ex girlfriend.  (Sounds like an episode of Jerry Springer, right?)

Anyway, I never liked his fiancee because she’s always been really bitchy and whiney when she didn’t get her way.  All of a sudden, she has been trying to talk to me about her problems with my friend.  My friend got mad at me because she was complaining to me about her problems and because I told him I didn’t give a shit about their problems.  He also decided to bad mouth me on facebook calling me a hater.  I told his ex I didn’t care about her problems and she called me an ass hole and then e-mailed me this big long story about how depressed she is.

How do I convince these people I really, honestly don’t care about their stupid problems? -Jason

Jason,

Let’s first define your problem…you care too much. Instead of letting a friend’s problem cramp your style, you need to just go out and find new friends. New is always better; otherwise new things would not be more expensive than old things. So go out there and find yourself new friends.

    Walk away.

    No really, walk away. They don’t want to listen, don’t. Don’t respond, don’t read, nothing. Just walk away. They will hopefully get a hint. And if you have been friends with this guy for 15 years, and now BAM -You’re- the hater because of a chick he’s been with for 6, then uh ya, find new friends.

    Your friend doesn’t seem like a very good friend. Don’t get even with him or anything, but don’t seek to reestablish the friendship. I would just let it die. As for his ex, tell her to stop trying to guilt you into feeling sorry for her. Tell her it’s her goddamn problem, and then don’t respond to her emails.

    yeah I would ignore him and send her an email with SHUT UP AND GO AWAY in large red font then block her email. Why? Why not. I agree with everyone else: Get new friends. No one likes whiny bitches and whiny bitches don’t even like themselves. She is just trying to get to you to make him jealous.

    Jason, sounds like your friend’s ex is trying to do you. Pretty sure she’s trying to have rebound sex with you to get back at your friend for dating her brother’s ex-girlfriend. So, sleep with her and then call Springer…

    Suck it up and be the sensitive caring guy that she wants to have comfort sex with. After that she will stop complaining to you about her problems. Your friend shouldn’t get mad since he dumped her. Worst case scenario, their problems go away, and you get laid. Best case scenario their problems go away, you get laid.

    You should forward the emails she sends you to the friend and let him see for himself what she is saying. Then he will see who the real hater is….or you could just start a support group for these people that are now ex’s, maybe she will hook up with her brother (who is also single!) and make it a TRUE Jerry Springer showdown!!

    Yeah, pretty sure the dude’s ex wants to bone you, if not as a move to get over him, then as a move to make him jealous! Maybe you should give her the old cleveland steamer, maybe a hot Karl, and THEN you block her phone number, email, facebook/twitter/myspace accounts.
    And considering your friend threw that out, one man’s trash might just be another mans f**kable treasure.

    So what’s the deal, Jason, is she fugly or crazy? If your worried about her wanting a commitment out of you, just do that one sexual thing your friend told you she hates. You know the one…

    Sargasm — She isn’t fugly… Although she is crazy. I can’t stand being around her let alone talking to her. I wouldn’t want to bang her only because she is so insane. She might castrate me afterwards.

      The alternative to having sex with an insane woman is having sex with dudes. Bang her and get it over with.

    I think it’s time for a sit down! Get everybody involved together. Your friend, the ex-fiancee, her best friend, the brother and you. Get them all really drunk and then suggest to have an orgie. It’d be best if you could get some really interesting sex toys like a huge strap on, a leash, or some face masks… you know where I’m going. If they don’t agree I’m sure they’ll leave you the hell alone, because after all that’s pretty freaking creepy. And if they do agree everyone will be so embarrassed the next day, they’ll never speak to you, or one another again. Problem solved! And whenever you do find some new friends… That’ll be the most awesome sex story they’ve ever heard and they will love having such a stud as their new friend!

    Well…
    A good advice will be: “Send them in Brussels!”
    The place is kind of a Las-Vegas for divorces (the divorce rate is near 130% – a year).
    I’m pretty sure this trip will help solve all their problems.

    Wow… DON’T have sex with her or an orgy with the lot.

    She’s a c*nt. Block her. Anyone who uses the word “hater” is a f**king moron. Do you really want c*nts and morons following you around for the rest of your life? NO. Sarcasm has got it right. Time to cut the cord and get some friends that aren’t attention whores and can realize when it’s inappropriate to bring you into their bullsh*t.

    In the great words of Ryan Reynolds….”Well she doesn’t sleep with you, and then you really don’t ever have to talk to her again. Or she does sleep with you, then you really don’t ever have to talk to her again.”

    The next time she writes you saying that she is all depressed tell her to go kill herself. Is it a dick move? Yes. Will I get people Outraged by my saying this? Yes. However it is a simple and extremely effective way to get her to shut the hell up. She won’t actually do it, and will get the point that you don’t care.

    Seriously, next time she comes whining, tell her fuck off, it ain’t your problem. If she persists, ask her point blank if you’re a chick, and when she says no, tell her that it means you’re not going to be her whining pillow. Guys just aren’t wired like that. While she’s crying about that, add in “Or is it you just want to get in my pants to get back at him?”

    guaranteed that’ll get her so upset/pissed at you that she’ll never bother you again.

    For the idiot . . . block him off from your accounts, move on. If he still tries to find ways to harass you . . . it’s an extreme measure, but try it – tell him you’re gay for him. MOST guys will leave you alone at this. I’m pretty sure he will, since he sounds pretty definitively straight.

    Jason! Don’t you know how lucky you are?
    People like that are put on this earth to make the rest of us realise how intelligent, witty, and sublime we are!
    So next time you see any of them, give them a winning smile, and thank them sincerely.

    You’re welcome!

    see what you gotta do here is kinda the reverse psychology thing. they want to be close, so get them nice and close, tell them about when you go poop and how you have IB problems, tell them how much fiber you eat and how it doesnt seem to be helping and then to top it off send them a picture of a poop you took and ask them if it looks “normal.” honestly when people want to be close, they just want to be heard, so interrupt them mid convo, and talk about how much your crotch has been itching, this being right after you shook there hand, then reach down your trousers and SCRATCH away. pick your nose around them, hock fat snot rockets. this will not only gross them out and make them want to not speak to you, but will build good habits and character in your personal life!

    good luck =D
