I maintain contact with him for comedic value…I mean these friends are the kind that basically disagree with you about everything, on even mndane things (“The sky is blue” you say and he responds “Not at night it isn’t”) so you can fuck with them by saying stuff like “Hitler was an asshole” and he will be compelled no matter what to defend Hitler and then get himself in trouble with pretty much everyone else.[/quote]
Did this conversation really happen? I mean, you actually got a guy to defend Hitler? [/quote]
I mean…he was a great leader right?[/quote]
His paintings were actually pretty good. No Van Gogh, but pretty good…for a Hitler type guy, that is.[/quote]

Didn’t he control all of Europe?[/quote]
Apart from the Hispanic countries, Switzerland, some of Scandinavia and the furthest east of Russia. Technically he never controlled Italy because they were willing Allies, but still a lot of Nazi presence, for defense purposes.
Edit: And the United Kingdom, but I guess that’s a given.

No, I didn’t…but I’m thinking of trying on him next time.
Me and my friend had a weird conversation a couple of weeks ago.
His cat died, and a few days later we had our walk. He told me about it and I of course was sad for the poor cat whose body was shutting down before it died. We talked about it for 10 minutes or so.
He then said in a patronizing way “You’d better think about this too y’know” referring to my dogs. I had to cut him off and tell him that yeah, I know my dogs will die…sheesh.
It gets better…an hour later the conversation somehow turned to one time when I was at a dinner with coworkers and my girlfriend came and we brought out 2 of our dogs. One foreign guy (I mean American, as I live in Taiwan) asked me “So you have 4 of those things?” (meaning the dogs…and I’d mentioned how we had 4 in total at the time) and after I told this story I told David how rude it was that the guy called my dogs “things” to which he replied “Well, they are things technically” and we went on about that for a minute and I started to say “How can you say this after…” and I stopped…as I wanted to ask how he could try to act so "scientific’ when it was only an hour before that we’d talked about his cat and how he’d said it was one of the saddest things he’d been through?
One time a few years ago I climbed the second tallest building’s staircase in a charity thing.
Somehow that came up in conversation among him and me and another guy. The “good” friend asked how long it took, I said 28 minutes and act humble by mentioning it was a real bag drive, that my thighs were on fire the whole time etc.
My enemy/friend says “Your legs were hurting inonly 28 minutes?” like I’m a whining pussy.
I look at him and say “Yeah…it’s 91 floors Dave”
He then says “Yeah, but half of it’s going down.”
I don’t even know what that means, so I ask him…he thought I went up 45 floors and then went down 45 floors.
I then ridiculed him.

Any of you folks have a ‘friend’ with who you just can’t shake the feeling that they’re always trying to spite you?
The obvious answer to this is to just cut off contact but it’s not that simple - we run in the same circle, others have a decent opinion of them (others don’t) and from time to time they can be reasonable.
I’ve tried calling them out on it, but they vehemently deny any malice. They go back to being cordial for a while before subtly fucking me over, usually via a psychological attempt i.e. sowing seeds of doubt, conveniently flaking on deals etc.
I can’t chalk it up to insecurity, because no one else has this effect on me.
Any thoughts?[/quote]
Fuck that, cut them off. My girl has a friend like that, i got tired of faking it, now when i see her i dont talk to her. Shes tried to talk to me and ive flat out ignored her. Great decision.
