swehSo.... there's a guy at work who is close to being a friend. I guess he's not really a friend ('cos if he left the company I wouldn't go out of my way to go drinking with him; it's not that important) but I do enjoy his company and since we work in the same office it's a nice way to spend an evening. I enjoy drinking with him.
So, given that, I invited him to a party. Only one of 5 people I invited (that otherwise hadn't been invited by Tori). He tells me that he would come, but his girlfriend doesn't like me.
His girlfriend... ah yes. she's from an ex-Soviet state (I think!) and I've met her twice. The first time, she arrived (after this guy and I had had a few beers) and started to order him around... and then startd to tell me what to do and what to think. Huh? What? Her opinions and attitudes were so clueless and her manner so attacking that I got angry. Apparently (according to this guy) I swore at her. I don't recall. What I do recall is leaving early (with most of pint undrunk!) in anger because if I _had_ stayed then I would have really said something very nasty and insulting. She's the only person I've met in a social situation where I've _wanted_ to use my brains and knowledge to belittle them. It made me unhappy.
And, apparently, despite my leaving early, I left I big enough impression on her that she doesn't want to come to my house for a party, and so this may stop my "friend" from coming as well.
I guess I really am an arsehole.
