Friend-iquette: To Pay or Not To Pay?

23 Mar, 2010 | Friend-iquette

So…

A few nights ago, in an epi of Real Housewives of NYC, Bethanny & ‘the Countess’ were catching up – a.k.a arguing – in a Hampton’s resty.

Apparently, LuAnn was upset about this one particular time when Bethanny told Ramona that she “had to pay for LuAnn” while out on the beach (partaking in some water activity), to which B had invited LuAnn.

According to LuAnn’s rules of etiquette, since Bethanny had “invited” her, it was Bethanny’s responsibility to pay.

B then responded, ‘So everytime I invite you, I have to pay?” To which statement, LuAnn pretty much affirmed.

Are u effing kidding me? That’s b.s.

I spoke to a gf (whose hometown is L.A.) about this, bc I have never heard of such practice -

Keeping Strong Friendships While in a Relationship…?

4 Mar, 2010 | Friend-iquette

I have a question and thought you dahlings could chime in…cuz ya know I love your input

I have gf who has been a best friend for a few years now. She is awesome – always gives the best advice, is a great listener & a true bright light of positivity.

We used to have a girl’s night out once every 2 weeks, which is pretty amazing since our schedules always seemed to conflict with each other. Convos would be a part of our daily routines & she was the first person I would go to when asking for advice on the current stat of a guy (and of course wardrobe opinions – especially with my Date Night Outfits).

Then, she got into a serious relationship with a guy.

And I am really happy for her. Seriously I am.

But now…we hardly ever talk and our convos usually consist of:

Rant: Toxic Friend of a Friend.

22 Feb, 2010 | Friend-iquette

Yea I’m back, bitches!!!

OK.

So… you, TFF, & I, are not technically “friends”. You are best friends with my very good friend. Since we share the same friend, I am forced to encounter your presence quite often.

Thus, I feel the need to get some things off of my medium-sized chest, alleviate some weight off my shoulders, and express what I have been wanting to for some time now….through MG of course!

To TFF,

In life, we meet both positive & negative people.

You happen to be one of those ridiculously negative ones. Like the type of person who has a rainy, dirty grey cloud of shittiness hovering over them at all times.

And there are quite a few things about you that bother me to high hell.

Since we continue to meet – bc we share the same friend – I shall conveniently bullet point what specifically annoys me the most about you (in no particular order of course):

Stop inviting yourself, EVERYWHERE. Why is it, every time I make plans with our mutual friend, you always show up? Who does this??? Kindly wait for an invitation please. There are things I would rather not talk about, in your presence.

Stop asking me about every detail of my life and everything that I am doing to make it a better one. It’s interesting that I actually respond to your inquisitiveness – bc, of course, you inappropriately ask me in front of mutual friends – and when I finish sharing my current stat/bf/projects/etc., you respond with an apathetic, “oh, okay.”

What the hell does “oh, okay” mean exactly???
Damn you, Toxic Friend of a Friend!!

The Staten Island Bridezilla…hater of Po’ Folk!

21 Oct, 2009 | Friend-iquette, Video

Ok, I HAD to do a post on this Cah-Ray-Zee chick bc I was born & raised on Staten Island (one of the 5 NYC boroughs, for those who’ve never heard) and lived there until 17 – the age I started undergrad at NYU & moved into the city. Thank GOD.

Besides ranting about how much she hates, EVERYTHING, this S.I. Bridezilla is obsessed with money and how much everything costs…

This crazyee beoyatch represents everything that is wrong with Shao-Lin.

In one moment, she refuses to apologize to the doorman @ Marqee in Chelsea, bc he won’t let her come into the club with her bridal head gear (veil). She blasts him with a bitch-ass response, which in turn makes him refuse to let her & her bridal party into the club…

Enjoy lovelies!

Thoughts???

Neighbor Rant.

12 Oct, 2009 | Friend-iquette

To my New Neighbor across the hall,

Welcome and congrats on moving into the Apt of Love! I see (hear) that you have a dog, which is great bc I have a dog too. Actually, I’m not sure why I think that’s great bc according to the unwritten NYC Apt Living Code, you & I will prob never speak more than 5 words to each other whilst we co-exist in the same building.

Anywho, I must admit that cordial greetings are not the only reason for writing you this letter.

You see, every time you leave your apt in the evenings & wkdns (esp. 6am on Sunday morns) your dog starts to cry. Let me rephrase this – he starts to WAIL UNCONTROLLABLY of what sounds to me cries of desperation and/or abandonment.

This in turn, makes my own Midtown Pups bark loudly as a response.

You see, I don’t mind if your dog (whom I can hear through 3 closed doors) cries bc he misses you, I just can’t deal with the incessant wailing for HOURS on end.

Bc I am a good neighbor, I will offer you some suggestions:
