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?”
Who’s in the wrong here?
Everyone in this thread who is too stupid to realize this is fake rage bait.
As is your comment. Rage bait within rage bait. Meta rage bait. Ragebaitception. Ragebaiturducken. I see you.
Have you ever considered that other people are smart enough to realize it’s probably a hypothetical scenario?
The important thing is that you found a way to appear superior to everyone.
Mmm the ragebait tastes so good though I feel righteous and angered
Although rude, I appreciate when people tell me outright I’m not a priority for them. So I can adjust my own.
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.
Was that not the point we were supposed to take away from this?!
Love your chicken, by the way.
Gray does not understand the relief of cancelled plans.
“Cancelling plans is like heroin.” -John Mulaney
It is literally like being told you can leave work early and still get paid.
Tell me you got banned from reddit and miss it dearly without telling me
Woman bad. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
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.
The only reason grey is in the won’t is for not giving more notice. Like either cancel earlier or plan your other date on another night in the first place. Calling that “horrible” is a but strong IMO. Definitely rude and inconsiderate but dating is completely unpredictable these days.
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.
Interesting you feel that was the her. There at no genders stated.
This is an /r/SipsTea male rage bait post, of course the chuds think it’s about them.
I mean, for most of the post they tried not to and a single “her” fell out. Something to consider.
I feel it is an interesting question though. I too assigned genders while reading this the first time so is it naturally ingrained in me? Or is it because of the first person POV of text message exchanges like this?
Are women reading this and assuming the other way around? Would a different format (eg changing the bubbles to other side, or paragraph format like in a novel) change who we think is which gender?
I try to be impartial, but each misstep online gets hammered on hard because apparently you need to be perfect for the imperfect themselves. Changing now would just be admitting to something i"m not so you cannot win. Shrugs I do my best and try to not let small mistakes turn into mountains.
As well I see other people posting the grey is female initially so that might have influenced me and I didn’t see anyone else calling them out.
stop posting ragebait this isnt reddit
See this is the variety of shitpost where it’s just a shit post.
OP, for the drama bait. Woof.
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.
Maybe they were pals and Green was saying “thank God” in a good-natured “yay, you finally got a date, happy for you bruh” manner but the response went right over Grey’s head and led Grey to make a total ass of themself.
Though if that were the case, I’d figure they’d clear that up rather than no reply and posting the screenshot.
Oh I didnt even think of that.
Eh, even taking the must charitable view for the canceller, you could also bee charitable to the other one and say that everyone feels relief at cancelled social plans
Hm, not sure I understand what you mean? I dont think its common to feel relieved about cancelled plans. If you dont want to meet, why make plans in the first place?
Its very common for people with ADHD, autism, depression or some other mental problems that fuck with your executive function and mental capacity. And considering how technical and niche Lemmy is, I’d wager that about 50% of the userbase fall under any of those categories.
Oh that may be, doesnt mean its common overall. But I still dont understand the comment I answered to, can someone translate?
I want the credit for hanging out without actually hanging out.
What credit? Who needs you to hang out with people besides you and them?
Credit with the person who bailed!
Ah I understand
Found the neurotypical
Get em!
Didn’t mean to universalize but this is a common reaction. Part of my more charitable read
Most likely, statistically, they’re both shitty people.
That’s my take.
what did green do wrong?
British
how did you figure that out? genuine
Massive sin right there.
He knows exactly what he did.
Born male.

Nah, that’s just your biases in this scenario. That’s not in the text
I ain’t sayin she’s a golddigger
