My Elderley Friend Can Be So Annoying At Times

[tamaris]

She was given a £10 bunch of roses free from Waitrose and I took them to her the day afterwards. She made it clear she did not want them, she picked fault with everything about them, they were still fresh, I lost my cool with her and we nearly had a fall out, and then she wonders why people get annoyed. I would have accepted them gracefully would you ?

[Prudie]

Yes I would but when I'm old I don't know, aren't we all supposed to end up crotchety old besoms?

[tamaris]

Haha, more the fact she changes from one minute to the next, you know everything in the garden is rosy and the next minute it is not lol

[woofgang]

but maybe she got pleasure from having a good grump. Would you deny her that?

[tamaris]

NO woofgang lol

[Jennykenny]

Yes but she enjoys the reaction and hence the attention that she gets.
Try agreeing with everything she says just to see what happens.

As one gets older the world seems awful enough to moan at everything. Including free flowers. (And friends who lose their cool with you.)

Haha, I usually do bite my tongue, but she caught me unawares today
