Neither one is someone I want to talk to but grey really should've just put the phone down and focused on that promising opportunity

[–] sheridan@lemmy.world 56 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think grey actually has another "opportunity". This feels like a negging tactic to me.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Remind me what negging is again

[–] aGlassDarkly@piefed.zip 37 points 3 months ago (3 children)

If I understand it correctly, it’s the use of negative framing of another person’s physical attributes or demeanor, constructed in the hope the receiver of the “negging” has low enough self-esteem to agree with the assessment and will assume the asshole is a person of higher intrinsic worth.

There might be more to it, but I usually just think of it as a form of reverse psychology + emotional abuse.

Green has a decent counter play against being snubbed first, but it surely is a dick move versus just saying "okay, cheers".

However, we humans do crave drama, and I've been entertained, so I think in the grand scheme of things, as a miniature Shakespearean tragic comedy, I will allow for it to be cosmically more good than bad. Perhaps they both learned something. Or it's all fake ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago (6 children)

Having someone show their red flag this early warrants a "thank god" methinks. Also, "thank the flying spaghetti monster" is more like it.

Grey is definitely in the wrong, that's exactly when you should have used a white lie but they were being a huge dick.

Greens response could've meant (s)he had a busy day at work and was glad to put their feet up. The bluntness met have been unintended.

Grey then exploded and made it a problem, showing that green actually dodged a bullet.

Who's in the wrong here?

Everyone in this thread who is too stupid to realize this is fake rage bait.

[–] polydactyl@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

As is your comment. Rage bait within rage bait. Meta rage bait. Ragebaitception. Ragebaiturducken. I see you.

[–] MadhuGururajan@programming.dev 12 points 3 months ago

Have you ever considered that other people are smart enough to realize it's probably a hypothetical scenario?

Although rude, I appreciate when people tell me outright I'm not a priority for them. So I can adjust my own.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 41 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I hate people now. Nobody wants to keep their commitments. You can invite people to an event and they will all say yes, until a more enticing thing comes along and the flake on you last minute. If you say yes, be there, tell the other person “sorry I already made plans that day” like an adult

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 15 points 3 months ago (9 children)

For me the issue is that everyone is always busy.

Me: hey, how about we meet next Friday

Person1: I can only do Sunday from 17 to 19

Person2: I can only do Saturday

Person3: I can do Sunday but from 19 to 21

Person4: I can only do the Friday after that

Or even better, they take 5 days to reply and in the end say something came up.

But once I manage to find the one date that fits most people and plan something people do show up.

The one who flaked, and then said that there were better options. I’d respond just like the one who luckily got away.

“Hey, I’m so sorry to do this, but, something came up”.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 13 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"Excuse me?!? You're supposed to be absolutely crushed by me blowing you off! I'm clearly in the right and you should be upset about it."

Green dodged a bullet.

Mmm the ragebait tastes so good though I feel righteous and angered

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 33 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't get why people are confused about this.

Grey was horrible human being first. Green's reply was a response that horribleness. It's not like green was genuinely waiting to spring that.

...probably.

Sommehow reminds me of this story:

“A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they could help her cross to the other side. The two monks glanced at one another because they had taken vows not to touch a woman. Then, without a word, the older monk picked up the woman, carried her across the river, placed her gently on the other side, and carried on his journey. The younger monk couldn’t believe what had just happened. After rejoining his companion, he was speechless, and an hour passed without a word between them. Two more hours passed, then three, finally the younger monk could contain himself any longer, and blurted out “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?” The older monk looked at him and replied, “Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?”

You deserve this

Damn right they deserve to be free from that kind of personality

Gray does not understand the relief of cancelled plans.

It is literally like being told you can leave work early and still get paid.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Grey didn't value Green's time, even stated someone better came along. Green responded with shade in response for this lack of respect, Grey had a crash out because her lesser choice had teeth.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Interesting you feel that was the her. There at no genders stated.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 9 points 2 months ago

This is an /r/SipsTea male rage bait post, of course the chuds think it’s about them.

I must be weird, or maybe it's because I used to date someone like Grey, but the impression I got about green is not that they said that because they didn't want to go out anyway, it was that they were glad grey revealed themselves to be uninterested in them even if it was kind of in a sleazeball way, acting like it was just fine to cancel last minute to go be with someone else.

More like green was happy grey pretty much just sent up a red flag and confirmed that they dodged a bullet.

That's the best answer he gave. Based on the limited, implication based knowledge we have of this conversation we don't even know is real or staged.

Most likely, statistically, they're both shitty people.

I mean its 95% fake but it doesnt really make a difference for discussing it as if it was real.

I think it deoends on the relationship between the two and the kind of meeting they had planned. If its a date and grey bailed for an other date, thats really shitty. If it was a casual meetup between friends and grey bailed for a dating opportunity, its not that shitty and green was a bit rude with the follow-up, but again depends on their relationship and how they usually communicate. In any case, the last few messages are completrly overboard.

Lmao, the other person for sure. There's no reason to lose your shit like that

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Also green could have meant "thank god you found someone good luck"

[–] OrgunDonor@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The Lmao negates this. This is definitely a thank god I don't have to go on a date with you.

[–] texture@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

"thank god i didnt waste my time going on a date with someone who would treat me like this lmao"

seems totally reasonable to me

Assuming this is not made up obviously grey is in the wrong

[–] Slayan@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Grey is faking outrage to get out of the situation

[–] Djehngo@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Grey is already out of the situation by message 3, everything after that is just lashing out due to a bruised ego.
