It's a clever technique, and I respect it, but I hate it when certain types of people phone up and ask out out the blue what I'm doing in xx days time. Because, of course, I have generally no idea what I'm doing more than a week in advance, so I have to hesitantly respond 'nothing..?'.
And then they go 'Oh good! I'm having a BBQ..' and my heart sinks because, whilst we were good friends once, i'm not part of their shared couple'd-collective, and being in their company for anything more than an hour or so dredges up things I'd rather keep submerged at the bottom of the dank, sulphurous, swamp that is my memory.
And then, being polite and all, I compound my stupid, slow self-loathing by falteringly asking if I should prepare any food for the event, to which they naturally respond in the positive (I'm a fucking brilliant cook, see?), so now i have to spend good money on food for people I have little in common with, spend a couple of hours preparing it, then another few hours with them, hating myself, oh G-d, hating myself so much.
Middle class society is a dick lump. a fetid dick lump on the shoulder of young baby jesus.
