Question Posted Saturday December 9 2006, 12:19 pm
I have these group of friends and two of them are really very irritating!!! I just can't seem to talk sense into them! I'm so frustrated! They can really argue with you over the simplest, stupidest, dumbest things in the world!
Like for instance, they were talking bout chocolate fondue and I told them that I liked fondue because I like the fact that when I put a marshmellow into the fondue, the chocolate will harden over the marshmellow.
Their comments? Well, they like to roll their eyes(always! And its so darn friggin irritating ok!) and they'll have that you-are-so-stupid look and they'll start explaining and say "No! The chocolate doesn't harden over the marshmellow! That's dumb! It should stay liquid"
If someone else in the group says "it's actually possible for the choc to harden over the marshmellow", they'll just say " OH well, your choc fondue was probably lousy choc because quality choc doesn't harden"
And I'll be like thinking " OK fine ! Will you all just shut the fuck up?" I've told myself to ignore them when this happens and I don't want things to turn ugly by scolding them because they are my friends and we do share good times together too. The thing is, how should I handle such things? Should I ignore them? Don't continue to argue with them? Or wat?

Simply talk to them. Say something like, "Hey guys, this is stupid that we are arguing about fondue!" Most of the time the should stop. You could also try to stay out of the argument. If they something to you like that, just ignore them, dont argue back, because everyone know that that is annoying too. Another thing is, it might help you if you talk to some other people once in a while, sometimes you might spend too much time with people. If you take a break, things could start to cool down.
Hope I helped!

Good: if you know both sides of the story you can judge on what they can do to fix things. Bad: because it really has nothing to you, yes you are in the arguement but when you think about it, the tension is built up between them.
Maybe you should suggest a day for the both of them to hang out and figure things out.. maybe they need a break from each other. Talk to them about it and ask them what's going on & and figure out a way to fix things that works out for everyone. Also friends sometimes get into fights its normal but if it continues there is something wrong & it needs to be fixed. good luck!
