Ok so I halfass got dragged into this thing between some friends of mine, and I figure it was interesting enough to post up.
Backstory There's Couple XY, Wife X is orig from Texas, Husband Y has lived all over, they both lived in NYC for the past several years. Wife X is 31, Husband Y is 34. Girl Z, 27, grew up in Syracuse and North Carolina, and ended up working in NYC. She met them while working with Wife X about three years ago, and became very good friends with Couple XY. Girl Z went through a lot of tough times and Couple XY helped her out. Like family almost. Wife X got a job at NASA, followed by Husband Y, (then me), then Girl Z. I work with Husband Y & Girl Z, Wife X works in another building. Story So Couple XY just moved into a new house. Myself and Girl Z helped out a ton for a solid week or so before their movers came to get the big stuff. Wife X was completely stressed out the whole time and needed Girl Z around for support. Well Girl Z had some friends (she sees ~4-5 times per year) come into town this past Friday night, to hang out for the weekend. The big move was Saturday, and Girl Z decided to get up early to go help Couple XY while her friends were still asleep, but the rest of the day she hung out with her friends. When her friends left on Sunday early afternoon, Girl Z went straight over to help again. Result Couple XY feels like Girl Z has wronged them because entertaining some "lesser" friends was not as important as being there for them during their time of stress. Couple XY is so upset they're questioning their friendship with Girl Z. Girl Z is upset by this. |

Dude Couple XY needs to chill. It's fucking moving -- not like you are asking Girl Z to donate half her liver to save their baby's life and then backs out. The couple is obviously at fault. I mean reevaluating a friendship because a person didn't show up on one of the many days you are packing and moving, C'mon!
Also, you made it sound like there was an affair going on with lines like " I work with Husband Y & Girl Z, Wife X works in another building" -- I was expecting something more juicy... I also loled at the statement "Wife X was completely stressed out the whole time and needed Girl Z around for support". Women are so weird. -------------------- ![]() |

Women are so weird. i'm sure the whole drama comes from the wife starting shit, and the husband going along with it so that he's not bitched at as well. fucking women, i swear you're only good for stuffing cock into your various orifaces... we shouldn't even let ya'll learn how to speak a coherant language... -------------------- |

Women also hold grudges FOREVER. I pissed off a girl at work and it has taken her nearly 4 months to start talking to me again. Sounds like the couple is being way too jealous.
-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

Yeah and Wife X, while she's a nice person, she's an extremely... blunt... individual. She will hold a grudge no doubt. Husband Y is pretty open minded but yeah I think Brandon hit the nail on the head... he's pretty much going along with her because she's his wife. He tried talking to me about it... I told him I'm not getting into it and if he wants my opinion he's gotta straight up ask for it (yeah yeah I know, unlike here
By the way Girl Z is the one I'm workin on |

This isn't drama, this is a woman being a bitch
Drama is when you're told your ex is now doing porn. And you drunkenly text her mom congratulating her on her daughters accomplishment, not stopping to think she probably didn't tell mommy in the first place. That's some fucking drama -------------------- ![]() ![]() |

Are X and/or Y engineers or otherwise well-paid? If so, they should just hire some damn movers to do everything next time.

Z is such a bitch. I mean come on its moving, the single most important thing a friend should be around for. How dare she back out when she has "other friends" come into town. She should be worked on by Impala!
Seriously though, did they help her with a BIG move earlier on and then now she screws them on thier move? Im thinking since she's a girl, thats not really the case since women are good for boxing clothes... and thats about it. Seems petty... just don't help her move when she has to and call it even (though still stupid). -------------------- |

Wife X = physics bachelors Husband Y = physics masters Girl Z = ME bachelors not sure what they're all paid, but the couple is very well off (just bought like a $300k+ house on the bay and yeah, they did hire movers, just to move the big stuff. pretty dumb to not have them move everything IMHO. |

Funny part is, I had a couple buddies in town from Thurs night - Sunday early afternoon and they didn't bitch at me at all. They got plenty of help from both of us, I think they're just jealous that her other friends got her attention away from them for a couple of days... |

Fucking great. So I'm having this great little poker night (have done it several times over the past few months), Girl Z invited of course, and has come to the other ones. Girl Z told Wife X that she would talk to her on Saturday to try to work things out. I get a call from her just now saying she might be late or not make it, because Wife X insisted that they talk tonight instead. What the mother fuck. Couple XY knew I was having this shit tonight, and knew Girl Z was coming. In fact Husband Y asked me earlier what time it was and everything. This is fucking bullshit. I guess whenever the world stops revolving around Wife X maybe Girl Z will be able to get back to a normal life.

it sounds like a biased story. obviously, impala works with Girl Z, and not with the wife (different building) so he only hears Girl Z's story (or at least more of it). Also, he likes Girl Z so there's a subconscious feeling to believe her side and agree with her.
could there be ANY other details to the story that you don't know, 100%? just sayin.. -------------------- ![]() |

You could be right... though I still think it's silly to question your best friend's friendship over only helping move for 90% of the time instead of 100%. |

So just an update on this. Seems that Girl Z and I are cool and Husband Y seems back to normal at work but they're all talking about stuff they did over the weekend without me... so I guess I'm done hanging out with them. Oh well. Wouldn't be as crappy if I didn't see them at work all the damn time.

Girl Z is cool with me Husband Y seems cool with me have not heard from or talked to Wife X since the "incident". Before we were all four of us hanging out all the time. Now they've been hangin out without me (or replaced me, who knows). oh well. And nothing gets done in the space program because the civil servants are idiots. I'll fix some code in about an hour, and it'll take them two weeks of sitting on their ass before they push through the paperwork (and by paperwork, I mean them clicking one damn button on their computer). But then of course if something is late the contractors get blamed. F'n government. |

They don't realize that in order to fly on X date you need funds way ahead of said date. That's why people are up in arms about Obama taking forever to name a NASA chief. We need the funding now if we're going to fly Orion in 2015. |

Yeah, it would have cost probably only around an extra $600 to get packers and for the movers to move all the boxes.
Why does everyone think moving is such a big deal? I mean, maybe this couple should be introduced to the life of the Army or something. We have done two major moves in the last 8 months. One move was an 18 hour drive with packers and movers and the other was a 1 hour drive with movers. It's stressful, but it's life. I'm sure they have way more crap than we do, but that's why you ASK for friends to help.... not ask and then DEMAND that they stay there until all facets of the move are completed and your emotionally stable again. And why does Will post something retarded and totally unnecessary in every thread he visits... |

Moving is a pain in the ass, but on an engineer's/physicist's salary, it's perfectly affordable to hire movers and have them do EVERYTHING. That's what we're doing in about a month.

Yeah again, don't think it was so much the physical labor as the "emotional support", "having a friend around", etc. Still stupid if you ask me. Oh well. Screw em all. Don't need a bunch of emo friends.
