Saturday Night 'Fun'
There's no way I can convey how annoying a particular married couple I know is. They were each individually friends of mine in college; the guy, I shared a naked shower with on Spring Break and many drunk nights; the girl, a sorority friend who I also shared many drunk nights with. I'm 'credited' - or blamed, depending on their mood - with getting them together, and boy do I regret it.Individually, they're both spoiled and selfish. Together, they're both spoiled and selfish. And now, pregnant.
Unfortunately for me, they're two of the very few 'friends' who live in my neck of the woods. I turn down about 5 offers to socialize for every 1 I accept. I never initiate contact, and I always brace myself before seeing them. They're nice people, they're just...selfish. And spoiled. And like to complain about how broke they are, while I sit there thinking: Tiffany bracelet for her...new house for them...new car for him...trips to Vegas, Boston, Phoenix for them...yep, that would make me broke, too. She switches jobs like there's no tomorrow, and he has surprisingly landed a good position at a good company. They're smart, don't get me wrong, but I know personally that her work ethic is nonexistent. I used to receive DAILY long-distance calls from her after graduation - all on her company's dime, and all in between her calls to Him, her mom, and other friends.
So, as I said, now they're pregnant. And yet, we sat in the smoking section of the restaurant last night, with Him claiming she was fine, and with Her complaining of breathing problems (she has bad asthma). Then, it was a good idea to go to the local casino. He of course took advantage of his DD and drank and drank. She won $92 on the slots; he lost $50 at blackjack. I'm wondering to myself where their child's college fund will come from.
I know, different strokes for different folks, and maybe it's a bit premature to worry about college when the kid is still lin fetus stage. But it's annoying nonetheless.
And they bicker! Boy, do they bicker. About anything and everything. Last night, it was about something at his work, where she also used to work. "No he doesn't" "Yes he does" Who gives a fuck? It's Saturday night!
He once slept with a good friend of mine from out of town during college. And now, everytime I see him, he asks me - in front of his wife - how my friend is doing. What kind of an asshole move is that? I called him on it last night, and he said it's a good way to piss his wife off. Ah, a marriage made in heaven.
Sometimes, being single just ain't so bad.
