To think that if a relative/friend phones you

[thepeoplesprincess]

They have an actual genuine responsibility to make whatever it is they want to talk about interesting/funny/enjoyable for you to hear?

My mum's just slammed the phone down on me because I made it clear I wasn't going to waste my Saturday evening listening to yet another one of her venomous monologues about her next door neighbours finances.

She wasn't interested in having a conversation, or asking about me or the kids. She just wanted an audience for her usual tedious endless ranting.

WIBU, or should I just suck it up?

Good for you I say. Thank God for caller display.

How are the neighbours finances?

Is there no way that she could post on here, instead?

The neighbours' finances are in stonkingly good health. That's the trouble.

They're on benefits........

Infuriating thing is, she thinks she's well above the Daily Fail readership, or I'd point her in the direction of their comments section.

YANBU I can't stand this sort of conversation, and have cut out of my life people who insist(ed) on having them.

Correction: I can't stand this sort of one-sided and completely insensitive rant.
