Just that really... a chance to get things off your chest. Things you’d never say to the person because a) you wouldn’t want to upset them and b) you know it’s irrational that it drives you so mad, but can’t help wanting to throw a television out of the window every time they do it.
My best friend has to ‘pop’ everywhere, regardless of location or distance. ‘Popping to the shops’? Fine. But no, she also ‘pops’ somewhere that’s a two-hour round trip. She ‘pops back’ to see her parents, who live 200 miles away. If she went to Azerbai-sodding-jan she’d ‘pop’ there 🤬
Another good friend has to ask at least seventeen different questions in a restaurant before she can order. Is there any kind of special offer? If there is, can she swap one of the other items on the menu for the ones on offer? How big is the portion? Would they recommend it? (Like any waitress is going to say ‘no, it tastes like licking a dog’s arse’.) Just order your sodding dinner and eat it!!!!
Aaaaaand breathe
