Man, I’ve known people like this. The worst is a combination of willfully bad memory and a lack of respect for what I was trying to say.
I think I'll eat it now!
I think I'll eat it n-
You ate my only food! Now I'm gonna starve!
I don't believe someone does this on purpose. When would this work?
My mother-in-law. She rewrites history in her head and imagine stories where she’s the hero that didn’t actually happen.
It’s a coping mechanism to prevent her having to face and work on her own problems.
It's not about it working. It's about creating a narrative in their own head where they are the victim even if it's a complete fabrication. Then they can pin all their recent troubles on something that isn't their fault. "That asshole gave me a thumbs up, then went back on it! I needed that thing for success, and he's the reason that didn't happen."
It took me 25 minutes to get rid of a Craigslist buyer once. He was buying a hand truck, a generic, wheeled truck.
But boy did he want to talk, and talk, and talk. Just gimme my $20 and go away now.
If I can't get 100 for something it gets donated to the thrift shop. Its just not worse all the hassel.
Upvote for "worse all the hassel". Bone apple teeth to you!
Why is the person haggling a lower cost waiting for a deposit?
I think they're saying they don't have the money right now, but they have a means to get it. Not that they're waiting for a deposit from the other person, lol
So bad it's ascended.
For comedy that's so bad it's good.
