been so ****ed off at a friend you want to swing at them? Not for anything they've done, but for something they believe.
 
yes, we have a friend and for as much as we love him.

His round dodging nature makes me want to knock his head off sometimes
 
A friend of mine believed that females that have been abused by their bf's bring it on theirselves because they have either done something to annoy their boyfriend, or because they haven't left their boyfriend. Then he topped it off by saying that it wasn't my problem if i knew someone being abused, because it wasn't me that it was happening to.

I told him he's a ****ing **** and told him that i knew it wasn't my business and i imagine it isn't easy for women to leave their abusers, but if any girl is going to get abused who i see/know, i'd make it my business and his attitude of "it's not my problem" stinks like ****.
 
Exactly. I asked him that if he saw someone (when we were in school) getting beaten in the playground by a bully, would he do nothing, jus because it "isn't his problem".

It all started because tonight we saw some guy being REALLY aggressive to his girlfriend. He was full on pushing her, screaming in her face and she was in massive tears telling everyone "he's never done this before, and for everyone not to do anything". All the bouncers outside were watching this guy. Literally, 3 of the bouncers surrounded him and delibarately starred at him to let this guy he was being watched, and if he tried anything he'd be pwned basically. Two of the female bouncers even told me that they know who the guy is because he's done it before... But this POS, pulled the girl away along campus so i followed and watched. He was super aggressive and screaming in her face constantly and i was just waiting for him to hit her... it was getting to that stage.

Anyway after all of this and i was walking home with my friend he first accused me of "fancying the girl" (bare in mind she was short, slightly fat and i'd never seen her before in my life). I was genuinely angry at this, him thinking that i'd just watched out for a girl for an hour, because i apparently fancied her! I was taken aback! Him thinking that the only reason i'd look out for another person is because i MUST have feelings for them made me furious! Then he told me he'd know people who'd beaten up their girlfriends before (he's from the suburbs of London and thinks he knows EVERYTHING about anything criminal) and he "KNOWS" (and "obviously" must be right, because he's from *near* London) they'd never abuse their girlfriend/wife in public. I told him i wasn't happy with that, and he didn't know this guy - all it'd take is for him to suddenly get angry and knock her to the ground. I told him chose to observe from a distance and not be seen, to assess the situation myself and to make sure she was ok.

Then he went on to spout the BS about it isn't my problem and she should deal with it herself and that her bf wouldn't have done anything to her if she hadn't have annoyed him.

Ahhh, classic situation.

I personally think that when things like this happen you really shouldn't get involved because it could be you getting a beating and not only that but it isn't your business.

If the woman was shouting at the man and the woman hit the man, would you defend the man?
 
Yes. When I said I saw the ISS pass overhead (last October time I think) he didn't believe you could see the ISS from earth. He likes to wind me up.

I didn't hit him, but I threw his phone accross the garden and went home.
 

Seen exactly that kind of thing myself, but it was some 17/18 year-old yelling at a pregnant teenager girl just off a main shopping street in town. I just stood about 10 yards away by my parked car making it plainly obvious I was watching him. He looked at me a couple of times and quietened down a bit but when he grabbed her jaw I stepped forward. He just turned around and stropped off and her mates finally made an appearance to comfort her sobbing.

I wouldn't have stepped in unless he'd done anything and I would've had no problem stepping between them if he hadn't let her go. If you just make it plain you're watching them then it'll usually make them self consious enough to either stop or realise they're acting like a prat.
 
I was watching a friend playing Condemned once and he turned round and shouted at me to make me jump, i broke his nose in a reflex action :(

Not really on topic but a fun story :)
 
No I haven't. I would go and talk to the friend that I am having problems with for what ever reason, my fault or theirs and sort it out properly because that's what real friends would do in my opinion. :)
 
Was down the pub once having drunk a LOT of exhibition cider (only available in the coronation tap in bristol afaik), my friend put my scarve down his trousers as a joke and I took a swing at him. We had a bit of a fight and felt a little silly in th morning!
