Old friends

I got the email I usually get every 6 months or so; 'hey, a load of friends from school are meeting up, you should pop along, we haven't seen you in ages!' No, no I should not pop along. What good could possibly come from that?

I hate this, if you haven't seen people in ages, surely they should pick up on the hint you don't want to see at least one of them. I'm running out of nice ways to say no, pretty soon I'll just have to break out the truth 'Yeah okay, I'll go. Oh, just a heads up, one of your friends makes me properly 'hulk out' so I hope no one will be offended if I spend a good chunk of the night throwing stuff around in a blind rage because she's started crying because some guy called her psycho/told her he just wants to be friends/she couldn't find the shirt she wanted in her size/ she thought Eastenders was sad last night etc. Meet up outside at 6?'

It's a shame because there's a few people I would like to see, sadly the aforementioned drama queen shadows them -heaven forbid she misses out on something- and makes damn sure everything is about her, so ignore is not an option either. She's partial to inviting herself along too if she's not asked somewhere; 'I'll come down aswell and stay at yours too'. Yes... if only you had been asked. I could have genital warts and it'd be more welcome and easier to shift than she is.

'Befrienders'

I don't like those people who stand too close to you. You know the ones I mean; they stand right next to you on platforms and in queues etc, and edge a little closer when you move away and grin and/or nod at you. I have personal space, and it doesn't need to have a random person grinning at me in it, thanks.

It's bad because they're everywhere you go too, unless it's just me this happens to and I'm subconsciously some kind of pied piper for people with little to no spacial awareness. Which, to be fair, is entirely possible given the kind of luck I have. Don't get me wrong, I don't expect everyone else in the world to never come within a 10mile radius of me but seriously, the rest of the platform/shop is empty, I don't want to be your friend. Go away.
