OK.. lessons learned..

Lessons about women, I mean.

So today is a public holiday here and after weeks of rain we finally have some nice weather. So last night I asked a close female friend from the support group if she would like to come to hang out on the beach, etc, on the island and she happily accepted and said she would bring her dog.

As it turned out, the ferry services wouldn't allow dogs unless they are muzzled. I never knew that cos, well, I never have a dog. So when she arrived at the pier for a nicer speed service ferry, she was told that she couldn't bring that tiny pet with her and had to wait for the regular ferry. Except they forgot to mention that the dog would still need to be muzzled. So she waited for like 20 mins and finally when the regularly ferry arrived, she was rejected again.

She called and got very upset and the followings are approximately our conversation:

Me: "I am sorry. They should have let you in."

She: "How many times I have to tell you they won't. Don't you think I have reasoned with them, that being only a small dog and she won't bite! Why are you so argumentative all the time!"

Me: "Well sorry. I don't mean to argue... I mean they're wrong to not let you in."

She: (yelling) "You know you're so intolerable! You never listen and you just like to argue! I don't know why I was able to bear talking to you at all! You know you should really think hard on how you're affecting others all the time when you're so argumentative!"

Me: "Well, I am sorry..."

She: "I am going home now!" (Hung up)

Now I have to think of ways to make her happy again.. I am glad I am gay.

been there, done that all too frequently. and i'm glad too, that i'm gay of course. this gave me a smile for today.

    You must have rolled your eyes while discussing the situation on the phone with her.  Women can sense stuff like that.

Skeebs,

I'm not touching this topic with a ten foot pole.  Jan is already planning my demise in vegas for an innocuous comment about burning things with fire.

Ha.. I hope you're not saying that to imply that I mean all girls/women are like that.. or being gay is easier than straight.

[Ann]

Well, you lads can be glad you're gay because we women can be unreasonable bitches at times, but you men can be unreasonable bitches at times too.

That's why I'm glad I'm bi.

No sir, I love women.  They are wonderful and perfect and sweet.

*mouths the words "Help me"*

[Queen Tokelove]

Hmmm, I am glad you cleared that up, Komnaes. It almost sounded like it was being said that all women were like her. Or at least that was how I was looking at it. It sounds to me your friend was upset over the situation and took it out on you which was wrong. I think she owes you an apology and there is no need for you to do anything to make her happy. Why should you when you did nothing wrong in the first place? Give her a call in a few days when she calms down.

*eyeing Hellraiser*.........I see you......

And Ann, men can be bigger bitches at times.......*that's right I said it*

Innocuous Jan I'm 110% behind you!!

   Women are the way they are because they don't fart in public. 

[john33]

well that makes them not the only ones full of hot air lol

(edited to add - they must really let rip in private then)

[komnaes]

Hmmm, I am glad you cleared that up, Komnaes...

Hey Queenie, you gotta give me some credibility ..  

It is kinda the story of my life .. always get yelled at by girls/women that I am close to, and the yelling almost always end with "you never listen!".

I must be the worst best gay friend a faghag can have!  

[Cliff]

There's no point in having friends, if you can't take your frustrations out of them!

[skeebo1969]

If you put your ear to the bathroom door when they are in there you can hear them quietly giggling to themselves.  You know it's kinda like that whole tree in the forest thing....  If a woman farts when she's alone is it really a fart?

[HippieLady]

   Women are the way they are because they don't fart in public. 

I fart in public all the time.  If there are other people around then I blame my husband for the deed.   

[Miss Philicia]

If you can't keep a woman in line with a tongue lashing fierce read then you're useless.

Deep very deep, we now crown you our new philosopher

You are truly rare and your husband should be grateful to have found such a gem.  I dated a woman like you once.  She loved to fish and watch football games.  She was a happy person, a good person, a righteous woman... AMEN.

I am just a man; a person who stands when urinating.

LOL...I fart in public too and it's easy to get away with because mine are silently but deadly if you walk into it.

I hate fish and fishing but I love football, basketball, and wrestling. Am I not righteous too? *glares at Skee* I tried peeing standing up and didn't do anything but make a mess...lol

There is not a man alive, gay or str8 that can keep me in line with a good tongue lashing cause this Queen has to have the last word....

[Ann]

I can do it and not make a mess - it just takes some practice.

Depends on what sort of tongue-lashing you're talking about. I like getting a good tongue lashing - the kind where he or she isn't saying anything because they've got their mouth full.

Hey Komnaes, if you guys are/were close, could there be baggage? Just wondering, nothing personal.  Perhaps it's good to have a chat with her face to face to see if there are hidden stuff to sort out. Good friends shouldn't have to talk to each other like that , especially over small issues like that.

I don't normally tolerate men or women who are rude. It took me a while to decide that I have as much right to a great day as the next guy/gal next to me and I'm not about to let anyone fuck it up just cos they are having cramps or a brain freeze.

I recently had a run in below my apartment with a butch lesbian (a nice neighbor's companion) over her ill treating some stray cats. She yelled at me for questioning her dislike for cats and I stormed back verbally and followed her into the lift and gave her an intense verbal lashing for her acute lack of humanity on animals and her gall for daring to talk to me so rudely. I half expected her to pull out her knuckles to fight but she retreated with her head down and apologized when she saw I was about to tear her head off with my anger had she wanted a fight. She avoided me the next time she was with my neighbor. When my neighbor sensed something was amissed, she asked me alone the next time why I became tensed at her "friend"? I related what happened. Being an animal lover herself, she was shocked and apologized and was angry for what had happened. I told her to just forget it cos it was not necessary for her to apologize for her friend's misdeed but stated that I will not hesitate to repeat my stance again should I catch her friend ill treating any stray again. She agreed. 

Jokes aside, I always seriously thought lesbians love cats. Meow. What a surprise? 
Anyways, at least the cats are ok now.   
Women and cats - love them but do know some of them scratch !

Ok, so give me the cliff notes on how to proceed so when winter comes I can spell my name in the snow... And you got a point about the tongue lashing.......

[Ann]

No cliff notes, but I can't spell my name in the snow either. I can do a great puddle though!

Jokes aside ... Lesbians don't always love cats but lesbians and cats always love fish .

[BT65]

I have certainly met men who are bigger pains in the ass than any woman I know.  Gay and straight.

I used to pee outside when I was an active drinker of the spirits, yep standing up. 

Shauny, I just can't picture anyone talking mean to you; you're such a sweetie.  There may have been something else going on with her.  Or she was upset with the situation, and unfortunately took it out on you.  Is the relationship worth salvaging?  Good luck.

[mecch]

Sounds to me like the OPs friend is a character (and yeah there may be "baggage") and I'm not sure the snit fit was gender based.

[fearless]

One woman's puddle is another woman's artwork. I saw these in the Terpentine Gallery in London in 1994 - piss flowers by Helen Chadwick.

If you're trying to imply that women smell like fish, then I'm offended. I've never smelled like fish in my entire life.

Like you could be any kind of expert when it comes to women anyway. Sheesh.

[BT65]

I'm not sure the snit fit was gender based.

I'm aware of that.  I just wanted to "settle the score," so to speak. 

[HippieLady]

LOL...I fart in public too and it's easy to get away with because mine are silently but deadly if you walk into it.

Mine rarely ever smell...honestly.  But they are insanely loud.  I don't think I've ever had a silent fart in my life.  I think a few have actually registered on the richter scale, now that's a serious butt rumble.

[Ravhyn]

I had the prettiest dragqueen living with me once.  He was young though, I think like 17-18ish.  but emotional wise it was like taking 10 women on the rag and dumping them into one body.  After a week I was dodging him and his boyfriend who lived there too. 

The greatest things in my life though, I've learned from my gay roommates.  Like that milk can go in tea...(too me that was a major discovery lol)

when it came to my relationships though with ex girlfriends I was pretty much the butch of the relationship. 

Which is why I question any man who dates me or get's with me, secretly I think there all gay but I'm the closest they can get without coming out of the closet and admitting it themselves LOL. both of my ex husbands turned out to be Bi after the relationship ended.  an ex boyfriend of mine is now a Drag Queen in Nashville. and my husband now, he acts really homophobic but I know it's all a cover.

All men will sleep with other guys given half a chance.

I just, errr found out I was gay I suppose..   I'm guilty, I put milk in tea..

Was it the tea or all that tea bagging ?
