the Incident

was completely pissed off by a 'friend' the other day, shall post the whole thing here and let's call her Person B

Day One During Tutorial:
Tutor - Please discuss DP Identity
B - Okay, let's start, so *blah blah* So we have to show how to get DP Identity
Me - No need lah, textbook already showed le, see *points* and they say DP Identity is just made up of XX, YY and ZZ
B - Huh, no lah, have to *blah blah blah*
Me - Really, just have to state XX is so-and-so...
B - Noo! Aiya, just shut up lah! (said in a very rude way and interrupting me too)
Me - *stare at her as she continues talking*
B - *finally turns around to me* So..?
Me - What? You call me shut up what, I'm shutting up (mimes zipping of mouth)
B - *stares a while before continuing discussion with other group members*
Random group members - So we just have to state that DP Identity is made up of XX, YY and ZZ?
B - Yeah
Me - *rolls eyes* (which B did not see since she was sitting next to me)
Long silence
B - Will you forgive me if I say I'm sorry?
Me - *already super pissed, therefore scoffed and ignored*
Long silence
B - You are being very petty leh
Me - *even more pissed*
Long silence
B - Eh, you do know I was joking earlier?
Me - *still pissed, and therefore scoffed and ignored*
Long silence

Day Two Another Module Project Meeting
*......basically we ignored each other and the third person in the meeting, mutual friend, sort of got stuck in the middle... but ended up debating/arguing with B about the case analysis*
Meeting ends, we walk off
SMSes log:
B - Hey it was very petty of me not to say bye juz now. I went back to say bye but u were gone... Im still very pissed w u for being such a brat yesterday. But i forgive u if u would forgive me. U probably find this war pretty fun but i dun. R we still friends? If u dun reply its considered a challenge to fight to e end! N fyi, if i did swallow my pride to say sorry to you, at least have e courtesy to respond. Brat!
Me - Hello, in the first place, you have never said sorry. Telling me to shut up was rude and wrong of you. Asking whether i will forgive you if you apologise is not an apology. Stop making it seems as though it's my fault and that i was petty when you don't even realise what went wrong.
B - I did loh, yesterday. I said, im sorry alright? But u smriked at me like its funny. Tad's when i got pissed at u! Anyway, i am sorry for telling u to shut up, but i did tad coz u were really rude to me when arguing with me! N sorry abt not saying bye juz now. Put a stop to this stupid episode right now k? Friends still my dear? U noe i love u :'(
Me - Sorry, i never hear you said that ytd, i only heard your half qn apology. Rude? I merely speak slightly louder than you. Okay, fine maybe it was abit rude, but shut up was unnecessary. I would probably been fine if you never send your first sms, can you back, read it and watch your tone. You need to know when it's okay to insult someone and when's it's not. Reread it, then we'll see.
B - Haiz, if u mean by e brat part, i was trying to be funny. Apparently tad failed. Im not apologising for tad coz if u cant take tad joke u dunno me at all
B - N maybe u didnt hear me apologise yesterday. But u ignored everything i said okay? I said i didnt mean it, i tried to get u back into e discussion. U IGNORED ME. So i think im justified to make fun of u coz im not e only one at fault here no?
Me - I ignored because i'm pissed, what else.
Me - Unfortunately it did not sound like a joke. Show it to anyone, they will tell you the same.
B - I reread e first sms n still tot it was pretty funny. U didn't pick up my call mah. Would have been better if i said it personally lah.
Me - Show it to a third person. It's completely insulting to me. And i don't always have my phone with me, so it's not as if i choose to not pick up.
B - Hm, i think i would... Lets have a poll nxt time k?
B - Hm i asked D and she sad tad from ur point of view it was rude, but from mine it wasn't. I didn't mean to be rude but rather tot exaggerating your behaviour as being a brath would lighten e situation.

Me - Well, it totally didn't lighten, in fact, i think it only worsen.. Let's just forget it and move on since both of us can't really seem to give in..
B - Yay im glad lol

note the use of proper full stops.. i only do that when i'm actually angry or pissed.. towards the end of the msging, i was super tired le and really couldn't be bothered...

maybe i was being really petty and stuff for getting angry at being told to shut up... i super super super pissed off when she told me that though, and her half apology thing really didn't strike me the right way.. it sounded more like "hey, i don't want to apologise leh, but if it could get her quiet, aiya, just anyhow apologise lah.. but still, better test water and see if it's worth it or not"... it's not even sincere...

i thought it was damn ironic that the thing she told me to shut up about was she was going to come to conclude in the end..

and really, i was actually okay by the second day... still don't really feel like talking to her but still.. then the msg came... seriously, the problem is not just the part about being called a brat and yes, ending a msg with 'Brat!' is quite rude, don't you think...

anyway, quoting
"But i forgive u if u would forgive me." does it sound sincere?
"U probably find this war pretty fun but i dun." war? abit serious arh.. and you think i find it fun arh? just make you sound so much more narrow-minded that you have the mindset that i'm a child to you.. or a brat
"If u dun reply its considered a challenge to fight to e end!" is this an attempt to joke? sounds more like an arrogant challenge than anything else...
"N fyi, if i did swallow my pride to say sorry to you, at least have e courtesy to respond." note the IF there, it means that actually she didn't say sorry even though she claimed she did... and don't 'N fyi' sounds super rude?
"So i think im justified to make fun of u coz im not e only one at fault here no?" honestly, no, you are not justified..
"Lets have a poll nxt time k?" i think she finds it more fun than me..

note that i never actually apologise and neither did she disagree with me for saying that we both won't give in... this just means that the whole 'attempt' to apologise is completely insincere and is probably just to get us on speaking term, otherwise our projects would be gone... and since we are in the same project group for one module, only 'companions' for another tutorial, perhaps she was just thinking about her grades..

and during the day two discussion, she got abit angry with both me and our mutual friend since we started talking about random stuff.. thing is, the analysis we are supposed to hand in one page per week and she came empty-handed to the discussion and was trying to find where the questions to answer the analysis was... and guess what, i've already written one page and shown it to our mutual friend... in the end, she ended up in a argument/debate with our mutual friend when said mutual friend was trying to do a summary of the case study.. we didn't do any work, wonder when we are going to meet to finish..?

oh wells...

so then, any thoughts on the above exchange? i promise i won't get angry if you say that i'm being childish and immature and really, shouldn't have been angry and petty and should have just forgave her...

though really...
