Oh yuck, that sounds terrible! Makes me always wonder what these car owners are thinking... had an issue like that few times too, but during daytime.

All I can say is... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I really have no idea why people don't notice, or why they'd leave their car at a spot where they cannot hear. I cannot imagine them enjoying the sound of it.

How did it go?

Oh, I have had that too. I too have a friend with whom I've grown into a different direction and it created annoyance even though said person did not do much wrong (I say 'not much' because I don't get annoyed by nothing). It's just something that happens in life. I can still say I like said person though, not sure if that is the case for you, but maybe that is because I do am sad about growing apart from someone I've known for years (and it wasn't a distant relationship, although the last few years started feeling that way ofc, I felt more like a third wheel to said person's entire life anyway).

But having aged downwards, I can imagine that being very bothersome. Or you guys have matured so much it seems that way, heh. All I can say is that if she pushes meeting up too much you probably have to get honest with her though. Not just for your good, but also so that she knows what the situation is. And trust me, I know how much that sucks. ^^;

Ooooh. Okay, that does change a lot of course. I guess she got kinda stuck in time. Did you ever point out this bragging and/or that it is bad? Or at least to interrupt others. I guess that if she thinks she is so awesome she can handle one bad thing, I think it's good to set her thinking (even though of course her course of life isn't any of your worries).

But wow, her situation does sound like it sucks. I mean, it seems that she doesn't feel that way (unless she covers it by her bragging), but I would not want to live that. I am kinda against comparing lives/success in life to others, but it does sound like a worrisome life for her. Not that it makes any of her behaviour acceptable (I probably couldn't stand her either), I do stand fast that you should cut it off somehow, but I'm just saying that the situation sucks. Does make me wonder if her mother at least helps her figure some things out, considering she's around so much in her life then.

Sorry for not replying - left the forums alone due to my deadlines. Today is my end presentation (except I am not presenting it, hehe).

Oh that's too bad. It's good she won't end up on the streets, but the way things go about aren't right either. Too bad she takes criticism as more of advice guidelines and sees it as an attack (as that is probably why she would seem attacking in return). Although I don't believe a friendship or whatsoever should be about 50/50 sharing, but from the sound of it there is a real imbalance there... hmm. :(

I do recommend your partner to be a bit more demanding on the guitar since you say he is desperate to get it back. That's not something small to borrow. It's okay to be harsh about it if it has been years now, even if it's easier said than done... but I do totally get it though. If it weren't for college I would've never made friends either, it's hard to communicate outside those spaces, isn't it? So I can imagine you're not really meeting people. If you really prefer hanging out with someone you don't really like, then so be it. And vent whenever you need. That is fine too.
