According to Fashion, 11 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 3: When popularity of maxi skirts is up three hundred and 12 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 3: ninety three percent, apparently shorter hemlines mean that everybody's a 13 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: little bit more carefree and not as concerned, whereas longer 14 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 3: hem lions mean that we're buckling down. 15 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: We're getting nervy. 16 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: Right. 17 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 3: When popularity of lipstick is up one hundred and eight percent, 18 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,960 Speaker 3: Apparently every time that we've gone into a recession, lipstick 19 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 3: purchases have increased while other things go down. So lipstick 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 3: remains an essential purchase even during an economic down. 21 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: For me, it's an essential right. I love that we're 22 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 1: not stalking up on toilet paper, We're stalking up on 23 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: mac velvet. Ten. 24 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, Honestly, when popularity of corporate fashion is up thirty 25 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: nine percent makes sense. 26 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's been up for like five fucking years, 27 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: you know.

I do think there is this very interesting and 38 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: we discussed it last week about how the political escape 39 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: at the moment is influencing you know, a very more 40 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: conservative aesthetic and old money and tread wife and blah 41 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: blah blah. 42 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 4: I'm like, get your tits out, let's get sluty tits. 43 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 4: Let's be a slutty little slut. I want a dirty, 44 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 4: slutty little outfit from everyone this weekend. 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 3: I honestly, if we're going into a recession, the least 46 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 3: we can do is get a little slutty. 47 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: That's my obsession. Is nowhere near as good as getting slutty. 48 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: You're like, that wasn't the obsession and I'm like, no, no, no, no, 49 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: that's mine. So my obsession of the week is that 50 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: an Austrian study found that having a cat in the 51 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: house is emotionally similar to having a ronvantic partner eooo b. 52 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: So research shows that cats actively seek interactions with humans 53 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: and remember acts of kindness, often reciprocating them later. So 54 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: if you want those people that's there and freaking hand 55 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: kid and naked, shut up mooring Agrey narrative. Anyone that's 56 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: like I hate cats, I'm like, you just told me 57 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: that you've got nothing else interesting to hate, Like, really, cats, Yeah, 58 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: that's the thing you chose to hate. 59 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 2: That's where you draw the line. Draw the line. 60 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: But I wanted to evolve on that because this week 61 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: we had we had a birthday in the office. 62 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: Oh yes we did. 63 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: We had a little pissy's baby girl's birthday. Sally turned sixteen. 64 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: Sixteen I think he means sixty. Yeah. I was trying 65 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: to be nice and for Sal's birthday, I take her 66 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: to play with the bunnies and the kittens and puppies 67 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: at Sydney Dogs and Cats Home. Like getting a pet 68 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: in my twenties was like the best thing I've ever done, 69 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: and I just am obsessed with her. And with the 70 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: city dogs and cats home shelter, you can really ease 71 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: into it, so you can foster to start. You can, 72 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: you know, see if you like the animal, and if 73 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't work out they're getting adopted or they're so chill, 74 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: like you can be like it's too much, like they 75 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: need to come back. Like I've fostered a dog once 76 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: and he was a fucking demon, Like all he did 77 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: was bite me, and I was like, go wait, he 78 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: was a puppy as well. He was so cute, but yeah, 79 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: like he got adopted in like a wik so it 80 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: was fine. And it's just so nice like being able 81 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: to help get them out of the shelter. They also 82 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: supply everything for you, like it's just the best. So yeah, 83 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: I honestly cannot recommend them enough. And there are so 84 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: many wee baby animals available for adoption, So if you 85 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: are thinking about a pet, plea, please think about adopting 86 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,159 Speaker 1: because there are so many beautiful babies that need a home. 87 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: We'll put a link in the description so that you 88 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 3: can browse some of the beautiful babies that are up 89 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 3: for foster and adoption. 90 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 2: Because yeah, like EL said, there are so many. 91 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: All right, shall we get into the episode? 92 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 2: Woo? 93 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: I just realized we didn't tell you guys what we're 94 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: talking about today, and we are discussing are you the 95 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 1: asshole of your twenties and beyond? Yes, but we asked 96 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: you chicks to send in your am I the asshole situations? 97 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: And boy, are there some newsies? 98 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 2: So shall I kick us off? 99 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: Yeah?

Yeah, there always is, and I think 101 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: this one's very interesting. Okay, So am I the asshole 102 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: for not inviting my fiance's best friend to our wedding? Oh? 103 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 2: My god? Yeah? 104 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: Context is, my fiance has heaps of wonderful friends. One 105 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: of these friends has a boyfriend who low ki sucks. 106 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: I've met him at two social events so far and 107 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: found that he's quite cold, won't join in on group 108 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: combos or activities, is withdrawn, and tried to drag his 109 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: partner away early or take her away from the group 110 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: in general. The most recent interaction was actually at a 111 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: friend's wedding, and it made us all feel pretty uncomfortable. Okay, 112 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 1: so it's not his best friend it's his best friend's partner. 113 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah. The issue is she absolutely adores this guy 114 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: and brushes off how he treats her and other people. 115 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: Fast forward and then now engaged. That's in the message. 116 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: By the way, that was not an ad lib bracket 117 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: she said. Rip.

So we sent an 124 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: invite to her but not to him. Are we the 125 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: assholes for going against normal wedding conventions of inviting couples, 126 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: especially fiances, and likely causing unintentional drama? 127 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 2: O this is such a juicy one. 128 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: I know. I think you could argue two sides to this. 129 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: I completely agree because my first instinct is you're not 130 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: an asshole. It's your wedding and you're entitled to invite 131 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: whoever you want, even if it wasn't about the money. 132 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: You want people there who are going to be supportive 133 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 3: and who have been involved in your relationship, and like, 134 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: you don't want to be walking down the aisle and 135 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: smiling at all the people you love and then just 136 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: seeing this and I. 137 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: Scrolled on on its phone. 138 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, there that you don't even like, Like I personally 139 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: wouldn't like that. Yeah, But then I also do understand 140 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 3: the money side of it too. You're like, well, it's expensive, 141 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: that money could go towards somebody else. However, I also 142 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 3: think that you have to then accept the repercussions of that. Yeah, 143 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 3: the repercussion and the very likely outcome that your friend 144 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 3: is going to be upset and offended. 145 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: I agree with you on the money aspect, being like, 146 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: I think that's probably the biggest like hump that I 147 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: agree with, being like, like, you don't talk to us, 148 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: we don't know you. I don't want to pay four 149 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: hundred dollars for you to come. That's fair, I think. 150 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: On your wedding day though, and this is where I'm 151 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: being like Devil's advocate here, right, You're going to be 152 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: so happy and so in love and so like wrapped 153 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: up in the fact that you're marrying your partner. I 154 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: don't actually think she would notice that he's there. Yeah, 155 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: like you there are so many people at your wedding. 156 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: There are so many people to talk to and see, 157 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: and you're going to be sitting at your you know, 158 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: at the table with all the people and getting ready 159 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: that day that I actually don't think like him being 160 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: there you'd notice that much like you'll be so swept 161 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: up in the madness of the day in like a 162 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: good way, And I think it would be very rare 163 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: for anything like that to you know, bring you down. 164 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: But in saying that, the invites are vincent, So I 165 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: just think, no, you're not the asshole. It's your wedding. 166 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: You get to decide who comes.

Typical unfair? 203 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: Was she friends with the girlfriend? 204 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 3: They're in the same friendship group. I think so it 205 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 3: sounds like they're all friends and she was friends with 206 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: the guy and then he's broken up with his ex, 207 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 3: she's broken up with hers, they've slept together. To me, 208 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: it sounds like she was closer with the guy than 209 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: with the girlfriend, but it's unclear. 210 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, submission, I think one, it's just like typical and 211 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 1: so standard for like the girl to be villainized, whereas 212 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: the man is just like gets off scott free as 213 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: she said, Yeah, and I just find that narrative so tiring. 214 00:11:59,320 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. 215 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: Yes, The only thing is I'm like, were you Are 216 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: you friends with the girlfriend? Because then I'd be like really, 217 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: But I don't actually think it sounds like they were. 218 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: Now she would say we were friends, So I don't 219 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: actually think that girlfriend is within the friendship group. I reckon. 220 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: What's happened is that the boyfriend has then started dating 221 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: his ex again, and then she's started hanging out with 222 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: all the friends again. Yeah, and then she's then been 223 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: like this happened and blah blah blah blah blah. But 224 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: it's also not her place to say anything. No, Like 225 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: imagine if she did say something, then she would be 226 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,839 Speaker 1: the asshole for that exactly it is a shitty, uncomfortable 227 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: situation that I think is potentially a lose or lose 228 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: in terms of like what's gonna happen, because she's gonna 229 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 1: like it would be lovely if she was like, look, 230 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: he was single. I understand you were single. I obviously 231 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: am not the biggest fan of it, but it's fine 232 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: like that, that's the idea situation, you know. But I 233 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: also would get the girlfriend's perspective of being like, so, 234 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: do you still want to fuck my boyfriend? 235 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 2: Yeah? 236 00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: But in set like that's me again, devil's advocate. I 237 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: do not think she is the arthhole. No, or you 238 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: were both single? Yeah, you were both single. 239 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 3: And it's his role in the relationship to fill his 240 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 3: partner in on things that could potentially upset her. So 241 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 3: the fact that they've been together for a year or 242 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 3: so now again and then it's taken him until November 243 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 3: to tell her that they slept together, like he should. 244 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: Have told her when they were getting back together. 245 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, being like, by the way, just so you know, 246 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: because I think that's what would have hurt I was 247 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: probably not the most, but a lot. 248 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. I wonder if she's tried to talk to the 249 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: girlfriend about it. But I do think sometimes in that situation, 250 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: like she's like they just don't even want to hear 251 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: what you have to say. 252 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: They're just like. 253 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: Nope, yeah, maybe that's just like I think it's just 254 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: like coping mechanisms sometimes that it's like they don't want 255 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: to be mad at their their partner for what they 256 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: feel as a betrayal, so it's easier to be mad 257 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 1: at you. 258 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, and because they've got a baby, so if they 259 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: need to have a united front as well. 260 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: But yeah, this. 261 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: Is situation say three years ago. 262 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 2: Yeah over it. 263 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, and for all the friends who are 264 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 3: also now turning on having me, I don't. 265 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 2: Think that's just me. 266 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, you were single, it was three years ago.

Yeah, And I just it's 342 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: I just the lying. 343 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the lying. 344 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 3: And yeah, obviously voting is private, but the fact that 345 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 3: he just lied about it as well, Like. 346 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 2: It's just, yeah, that's not okay. 347 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to lay next to somebody knowing that 348 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 3: that's what they voted for. Yeah, am I the asshole 349 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 3: for cutting off my friend because they reversed into my car? 350 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 3: Am I the asshole? A bit of a backstory. I 351 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 3: moved into State for work and so did a friend 352 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 3: and her partner. Over the last few months, we'd become 353 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 3: really close. Originally I was going to find my own place, 354 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 3: but I ended up asking them if they had a 355 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 3: spare room. They did, and rent was cheap, so I 356 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 3: was happy. As our rosters are all opposite and they 357 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 3: line naars up as a couple, I hardly saw them. However, 358 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 3: here's where problems started. Once I started work, I realized 359 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 3: it wasn't feasible as it was almost one hundred dollars 360 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 3: for an uber to the airport, which I had to 361 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: pay for every second week there and back. 362 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 2: Then every time I did see her partner or her 363 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: he would always. 364 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 3: Call me mean names around how I looked. At first, 365 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 3: I'd love off, then it started to really hurt. From there, 366 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 3: the problems kept going. I moved in and she left 367 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 3: me no room in the house for any linen or 368 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 3: kitchen stuff, not even in the fridge did I get 369 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 3: a shelf, and they'd eat my food as they'd get confused. 370 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: Fast forward, they were. 371 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 3: Both on holiday and I was at work and they 372 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,159 Speaker 3: had family staying over. My car stayed in a small, 373 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 3: tucked up spot near the driveway, so it wasn't in 374 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 3: the way. When I was at work for the week, 375 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 3: I get a lengthy message one day basically saying she 376 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 3: reversed into my car. Okay, so this must be the 377 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 3: family member has reversed into a car. I asked when 378 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: it happened, and she said Thursday afternoon. When she told 379 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 3: me it was Saturday night. She had taken it upon 380 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 3: herself to go get it fixed at a dodgy panel 381 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 3: beater and it was not fixed at all. 382 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 2: I was so unhappy. 383 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 3: I don't care that it happened, but at least own 384 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: up to it in the first place and tell me 385 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 3: straight away so I can go through insurance. Anyways, I 386 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 3: tell her I want to go through insurance, and she 387 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 3: was pissed. Put through my claim, kept her updated and 388 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 3: my car has been all fixed. After this, I stated 389 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 3: straight away that I wanted to move out after only 390 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 3: a few months. She was again pissed and felt used, 391 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 3: which I wasn't using her. But in my head, if 392 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 3: she didn't tell me straight away about this, what else 393 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 3: could she not be telling me about? Staying there felt 394 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 3: problematic for me and I needed to get out. Since then, 395 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 3: I've moved into the loveliest home with a lovely housemate 396 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 3: and feel so at peace. I've barely spoken to my 397 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 3: so called friend, and I'm wondering am I the asshole 398 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 3: for basically cutting her off after this? She made herself 399 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 3: out to be the victim the whole time when I was. 400 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,719 Speaker 3: I feel it was the right choice, but I'd love opinions. 401 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: Oh so I'm a bit confused. Was it the family 402 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: that reversed into the car or her home mate, because 403 00:21:54,960 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't think we get a distinction. Yeah between that. Yeah, 404 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: first off, I hate the like boyfriend like calling her 405 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: like mean names, but like in the whole home I'm 406 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: just kidding way. 407 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 2: Like yeah, it's really inappropriate. 408 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: It really gross and really inappropriate, and like obviously like 409 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: i'd be like, yeah, move out after that, so I'd 410 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: be like, that's the last straw. 411 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: For me, you know. 412 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: And I'd also be hurt if my friend didn't stand 413 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 3: up for me to like the boyfriend being like, hey, 414 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 3: don't say that. 415 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: It's not funny. It's actually really inappropriate. 416 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: Because it can be really awkward for you as the 417 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 3: friend to call out the boyfriend. And sometimes I do 418 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 3: think in those instances, like you know, the partner should 419 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 3: say something yes. 420 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I also think like the lack of space 421 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: for you in terms of like no room in the 422 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: linen closet, no room in the fridge, and it would 423 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: basically feel like you're just there to like cheapen their rent. Yeah, 424 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: and like you it's like I hate this narrative with renting, 425 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: and like when you move in with couples or you 426 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: move into a place that it's like they have the 427 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: lease and you've got the room, and it's like you're 428 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: renting the room. It's like no, no, no, you're renting 429 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: the apartment or the house. The room is just one 430 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: part of that. And like the space needs to be communal, 431 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 1: communal and equal. And I eating your food is like 432 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: where I draw the line, Like that's diabolical. Yeah, that's evil. 433 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: That's evil. There's nothing worse than when you have like 434 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: leftovers and you're coming home and you're so excited to 435 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: eat them and you open the fridge and someone's eating them. 436 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: But then we get into the car car dilemma. I 437 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: think it is absolutely diabolical to reverse into someone's car 438 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: and take it upon yourself to then take it to 439 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 1: a repair shop repair it yourself without even telling the 440 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: person who owns the car. 441 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's so wrong, because then if you do want 442 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 3: to put it through insurance, that could significantly impact what 443 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 3: you can claim and what you can do if you've 444 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 3: gone and taken it to a dodgy panel beater first, Like, 445 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 3: that is so not your decision, That is not your place. 446 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: You should message as soon as it happened, being like, 447 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, I've just reversed into your car. It 448 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: was a complete accident. That's fine, accidents happen. You apologize, 449 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: you own up to it, and like send a photo 450 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: and say how would you like me to fix it. 451 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm more than happy to pay for it, obviously because 452 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: it was my fault. 453 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 2: That's what should have happened. 454 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: So I think it's obviously not just this one thing, 455 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: like it's there's been a bit of a story here 456 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: that you've gone on and very evidently. I think it's 457 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: a very good choice that you moved out. 458 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 3: One and I think with stuff like that, it could 459 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 3: be really tricky moving in with a friend. It can 460 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 3: be really hard not to carry on some of that 461 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 3: animosity into your friendship after that if you have had 462 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 3: conflict when you've lived. 463 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 2: With a friend. 464 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 3: So I don't think that you're the asshole for cutting 465 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 3: them off. I don't think it sounded like a very 466 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 3: healthy and rewarding friendship anyway. 467 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: Oh, this is a good one. Am I the asshole 468 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: for not wanting to go to a male strip show 469 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: for my friend's birthday? So? I didn't want to go 470 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: to my best friend's oh birthday hosted at a male 471 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,239 Speaker 1: strip show slash bar as it's not my thing, But 472 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 1: she chucked a hissy fit because I missed her birthday? 473 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: Am I a bitch for this? I really didn't want 474 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 1: to go. No, No, I don't think. I don't think 475 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: either if. 476 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 3: You're not comfortable going to a male strip show, or 477 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 3: if you're not comfortable going to any sort of scenario, 478 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 3: you should not have to go just because it's somebody's birthday. 479 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: I agree, And I also think if you're planning your 480 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: birthday at something like that, which people can feel a 481 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: little bit uncomfortable with it. And I also want to 482 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 1: preface this by saying that like sal and I completely 483 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: earn one hundred percent like support all forms of work, 484 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: including sex workers, So it's not coming from a place 485 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: of judgment or anything. People just have different levels of 486 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 1: comfort with what they want to go to and that's fine. Yeah, 487 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: but I think like with that scenario, there are going 488 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: to be people that don't necessarily feel comfortable with that, 489 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: and that's okay, and you kind of have to expect 490 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: that if that's what your birthday plans are. Yeah, kind 491 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 1: of like with anything.
