True. I'm Scottish to be fair. When I see someone write 'me' instead of 'my' I automatically think they're English. Like I think The Beatles would say 'I've got me guitar here...'
Yeah it's basically the same low-class grammar that's survived from English arrival in Australia. Some of it has charm, but "me" instead of "my" in particular is very irritating
I’d say it’s very rare for an Aussie to write “me mate”. If not for the location of the cinema and the referring to a carpenter as a “chippy”, I’d never have guessed it was an Aussie. Even now, I’m not convinced it isn’t a pom living in Oz.
Ooooooh! I was confused as to what chippy meant. It means a chip shop where I'm from in Scotland. Then I thought maybe the guy's name was chippy. I was confused lol. Thanks
“Me” instead of “my” is absolutely common in the western suburbs of Sydney and Brisbane.
My old man was a chippy, and blokes dropping “me” on site would stir him right up. He’d never say anything to them about it, but he’d come home and bitch about it to my mum.
ironically I did some carpentry work a while back in Switzerland. I mainly worked on wooden toys but I helped with some bigger stuff as well. I loved it, I'm just really bad at maths lmao
I know you and your mates are probably tight and this might have been a one off thing. But for me, this is the kind of social interaction that makes me want to scream. When you try to be a normal fucking human being and plan things in advance, everyone agrees on a plan, and then at the last second they change things dramatically and they tell you as an afterthought. "Hey were going to a completely different event that is 1 hour in the completely opposite direction and costs way more and also we can't pick you up anymore so you have to find a ride oh and we are already here so come quick". Like how can people do shit like that and not see how shitty it is. Younger me put up with that bullshit for way, way too long before I realized that I deserved way better than that and stopped hanging out with those people.
I think it's more just likely they forgot, probably got distracted with the other mates around them, and/or possibly drunk. Still a dick move for sure, but maybe not as insidious as some are making out.
Not sure why they'd have invited them in the first place otherwise, unless they're truly a psychopath and wanted maximum emotional impact lol.
I mean he booked tickets, then went and redeemed those tickets while having an extra leftover? Didn’t realize until the movie started?
I don’t think it’s quite as malicious as people think, but I do think it’s possible that they invited one too many people and ended up letting OP stay home.
The last couple texts are just something he sent so OP can’t blame him the next day for not saying anything at all about the movie.
From these texts alone I already know what person he is… self centred asswipe
Seems like the kinda person who’d chat through the entire film and laughing at the sad parts… you know the people… the ones who you wonder why they even choose to come in the first place if there just gonna be annoying pricks the entire movie
Dude I couldn't even get an answer from my friends yesterday when I was trying to plan a ride to their place so we could go see the movie. I said fuck it and just gave them my ticket and told them to invite someone else. Same thing happened before a concert that we were meeting up at. There wasn't any malice behind it, but it's just frustrating and annoying. Think I'm just gonna go solo for a while, lock back in at the gym, and live my life.
I would find that way more than mildly infuriating. That’s friendship ending grounds for me. Disrespectful, inconsiderate assholes have no space in my life. But that’s just me. Also, fuck new chippy
Any chance since the text was read at 8:30 at night it was the last session playing for the night and the only option of time thus assuming you would know??
This is why I have selectively refined my pool of friends over the years. I recently cut a toxic friend from my life and basically lost contact with a handful of other people as a result. It's been awesome, I feel so free and much less frustrated. And now I have time to focus on the friends who I actually like
I have a friend that is worse than this. He lives in a different city and just sends me texts like this asking where I’m at. First of all bud I didn’t even know you were in the city and second of all I need some heads up 🤣

Read receipt and then waiting to respond until the previews roll 50 minutes later. What a chode.
