To think sister's boyfriend isn't that funny?

65 replies

ChocolateTemptation · 31/08/2011 23:43

So for the past few months her boyfriend has been ringing me up and shouting random shit down the phone. A few examples are

me - "hello?"
him - "CHASING PIGEONS - I SAY CHASING PIGEONS"

and the phone goes down.

me - "hello?"
him - "Lets all buy a house"
me - "sorry??"
him - "its my fucking house and you'll never take it away from me"

phone goes down with lots of laughter in the background.

me - "hello?"
him - "I just had a massive poo and now my bum is hurting"

phone goes down and I can hear sister howling with laughter in the background.

These examples are just the ones I've had this week! like I say it's been going on months. Sister thinks he's hilarious. My mum says not to say anything to sister as she'll "get upset" Hmm

AIBU to think he's obviously a bit of a twat and should be told?

Sorry, the OP made me smile because I remembered doing this sort of thing aged 15. Never to anyone who owned a whistle, though.

worraliberty · 01/09/2011 00:46

Never mind the whistle

Play Jedward songs and leave the phone by the speaker.....

ZacharyQuack · 01/09/2011 02:33

Ignore your mother. Tell your sister that it's not on, and if he does it again you'll be reporting both of them to the police.

Don't muck about with the whistle. He'll just get one of his own and do it back to you.

Investigate Caller Id, call blocking, can you get calls from his number diverted to your sister's mobile?

HairyGrotter · 01/09/2011 08:08

I'm 30 and found it funny Blush

I'd fight fire with fire but then I'm a 'Fucking Twat' lol

AnneTwacky · 01/09/2011 08:18

I agree, ignore your mum as you have every much a right not to be upset/ annoyed as your sister.

Put your foot down and an answer phone on.

TandB · 01/09/2011 08:23

Commiserate with him in front of his friends that he clearly isn't getting much sex if he has to spend his time ringing his girlfriend's sister and trying to engage with her so desperately.

troisgarcons · 01/09/2011 08:35

Sorry, but that would piss me off royally. I'd be reporting him to the police for malicious phone calls. And I don't care what your mum says about upsetting your sister either!

GwendolineMaryLacey · 01/09/2011 08:35

Your mother says not to say anything as it'll upset your sister? Bollocks to that! What a pair of twits they sound. I'd have something to say alright.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 01/09/2011 08:36

iPhone auto corrected twats to twits. Angry

badgerbrisket · 01/09/2011 08:38

tell her that her boyfriend is dragging her down

Robins · 01/09/2011 08:39

In all seriousness he sounds mentally ill to me or has a condition he is not managing and/or may be may be not drink/drugs related but I seriously think it could be the first one. Is there anybody you can talk to who has experience of mental health issues/conditions?

CamperFan · 01/09/2011 08:41

"pair of twits" sounded very quaint Smile.

OP, say something, right now.

WilsonFrickett · 01/09/2011 08:42

He's not ill FGS, he's immature and a bit of a plank.

CamperFan · 01/09/2011 08:43

I wouldn't immediately think "mental health issue" though, just 18 year old, knobbish behaviour. Do you get up early? Start calling them first thing and see hw they like it.

Robins · 01/09/2011 08:44

You know him WilsonFrickett?

Robins · 01/09/2011 08:45

God help us if that is normal behaviour from an 18 year old, to family/friends! God I'm not with it at all! But have experience of mental health conditions.

WilsonFrickett · 01/09/2011 08:46

You don't know him either Robins. He just sounds daft.

KittyFane · 01/09/2011 08:46

The thing that would piss me off most here if I were you is the realisation that I have got such a sad excuse for a sister who is a complete twat herself for finding her knob of a boyfriend funny.

Robins · 01/09/2011 08:47

Sigh....

Robins · 01/09/2011 08:48

Give up again as usual......

KittyFane · 01/09/2011 08:49

Wilson- 'daft and a bit of a plank'
do you really think you'd think he was just a bit daft if he were doing it to you?! :o

Talker2010 · 01/09/2011 08:50

I agree with the ... Ignore Mum ... Warns Sis and her b/f ... contact police if it continues

ProfessionallyOffendedGoblin · 01/09/2011 08:52

'phone goes down and I can hear sister howling with laughter in the background. '

So if he has mental health problems, it sounds as if the sister has too. Or they are annoying teenagers behaving in a stupid manner because no one is stopping them.
Tell them both, in no uncertain terms, but particularly your sister, you know her better and have a long-term relationship. They need to stop the harassment right now.
I don't understand why your mum is tolerating this stupidity, are they messing her around too, or is it OK because it is only you?

ProfessionallyOffendedGoblin · 01/09/2011 08:53

Robins, do you have much experience with teenagers?

WorzselMummage · 01/09/2011 08:56

Oh come on! Op would know he he was mentally I'll, wouldn't she.. Considering he's geeing our with her sister!

He just sounds like an immature idiot.

Go with Fucking Twat, Fucking Twat Grin

Robins, what have you given up at?
