They can’t handle the Legendness

Occaisonally people fall out with me.
“What? Really? But you’re so pretty!”
I know I know but sometimes people just can’t handle this much Legend in their tiny lives. If you disagree/agree with me then leave a comment or send me an email.
There are various reasons for this. The main one is that while people claim to like honesty they actually are just lying and don’t like to be told they’re fat or their beliefs are idiotic and the like.
I’m going to give a few examples of why people have fell out with me so you can see that you can’t please everyone all the time because some people are monumentally stubborn and can’t apportion blame properly. That being the case you should do (within reason) what makes you happy and try to be honest about everything. It’s the Legend way. Weirdly 2 of these 3 examples are from Newcastle ladies and involve Facebook. Does that mean Newcastle wimmen shouldn’t be allowed on Facebook?. Yes. Yes it does.
In Reverse Order
3. I’m friends with a couple (horrible idea btw, try to just be friends with one of them). M (girl) and A (boy). I get a message on facebook from R (girl) saying hello, seemed interesting, spotted on a friends profile. The mutual friend was A. R had a gallery of A with his shirt off. I found this a bit strange and asked M who R was. She said R was friend of As why. I said just found it bit weird she has that gallery.
Unbeknownst to me then, but knownst to me now, M is a raging nutjob with regards to jealousy. Sequence went nuts.
1. Gallery was there over a year ago, A wasn’t with M then. It hasn’t been updated since.
2. M and A split up after I mention it’s existance
3. I try helping out by pointing out to M that it’s not on As profile, he prob forgot it even existed, it’s been a year, it’s just his shirt off on top of all that etc etc.
4. I get ignored.
5. M and A get back together.
6. Both dont talk to me and regard me as a suspicious minion of R.
So I didn’t make the gallery, I didn’t report any wrong doing on As part, I said nothing to stir it up (beyond rather niavely mentioning the gallery existance) and spent literally hours trying to calm her down after she went off the handle but I’m still the bad guy trying to wreck their happy and secure (hah!) relationship. Nothing like making an outsider the focus of your blame to avoid too much introspective analysis of your own relationship’s failings eh?.
2. L was a friend of mine for about 3-4 years. On facebook, I had a bit of flirty banter with a friend of hers. The friends boyfriend complained to L and L had a go at me. I said relax it’s just facebook banter, tell him if he’s got an issue take it up with me. It’s stopped now anyway.
L just kept having a go about it and wanting me to apologise. I said look am not going to apologise about some facebook banter that didn’t even mention you in any case. I am sorry you got “in trouble” about it but I’m not sorry about the act itself. Not going to lie, I feel the act was perfectly okay.
So she fell out with me , after extended back and forth because I wouldn’t lie and say sorry about that. L actually said that “if our friendship isn’t worth just lying to tell me what I want to hear then it’s not worth much”. Irony escapes her clearly.
The Stupidest Reason anyone has ever fell out with me. (If you can top it, please let us know)
1. I used to do roleplaying. (Pretending to be an elf with a magic staff, roll some dice that kind of stuff). They didn’t fall out with me because of that (and why would they, it’s awesome!). Anyway, MsN00b also played it. She fell out with me, genuinely and completely (this was like 8 years ago now) because I wanted to use poision instead of a sword and she felt that was Evil. I hadn’t actually killed anyone with it. I didn’t use it to kill a High Priest of Hugz or anything. In her eyes the mere act of wanting to use a poison to have someone die quickly without mess was an act of malevolence on par with sodomising a one legged kitten Nun.
So we argued about it a bit and then she stopped talking to me. Forever. I didn’t swear at her or call her names or anything. It was just this keen difference of me not thinking the actual method of killing someone was likely to make you more evil than another when both were equally painful.
I hardly ever fall out with people because I like discussion too much and I’m very rational mostly. When I do fall out with them it’s for really good reasons.
Like them being ignorant, stupid,close minded,bigoted, the wrong colour or gay.
