Aaahh well one less nuisance to deal with. Had a phone call just now out of the blue. This is from someone I gave my phone number to to help him with a problem he has ( never again lesson learned as he rang me every day for a week). One you give advice to and they ignore it. Then ramble on and complain about the very same problem ad infinitum.
Me - Hello
X - Hello
Me- Who is this?
X - It's me...X
Me - Oh hello... ( deflated voice)
X- rambles on about something or other for a few minutes then says he is going out for a drink later
Me - I am not going out today
X- Under the thumb are you?
Me - Yeah
X - Thought you were. Seen him ( means Hubby) staring at me over the past few weeks. ( news to me)
Me - Oh right.
X- Can you talk?
Me - No... not really
X - Is HE there ( meaning Hubby who is sat in the armchair with a puzzled look on his face)
Me - Yeees.
X - So you are not going out with me for a drink then?
Me - No.
X- So are aren't interested in me then?
Me - NO I think you have got the wrong idea!
X- I seen you looking at me though.
Me - I think you have got the wrong idea here.
X- Right I won't bother you again tarra.
Told Hubby and we both roared laughing I mean fgs this bloke is 78 and is losing the plot. I have known him over 40 years and chatted to him when I see him but suddenly he escalates things to a full blown affair situation by the seems of it. Hubby is teasing me now. I give up!
