Someone I try to catch up with on BCUK is apparently on a break with his significant other. I can truly commiserate with him, the experience can be almost like this:


 Me: Why are you mad with me?

SO: I'm not mad with you.

Me: Yes you are, I can tell. You're doing that breathing thing.

SO: I'm not breathing.

Me: And you're quite vicious to the peach you're eating.

SO: I'm eating this peach quite normally thank you.

Me: Look, I know something is wrong. What's the matter?

SO: Well, to be perfectly honest, it's what you said.

Me: What did I say?

SO: You know perfectly well what you said.

Me: Well, I don't remember, (oops, first mistake)  what did I say?

SO: Well if you can't remember, then it can't have been terribly important then could it?

Me: Well, it seems important to you.

SO: Look, I don't want to talk about it.

Me: Why not?

SO: If it wasn't that important, then you should think about why it was important to me.

Me: What was important?

SO: If you couldn't be bothered to remember, then you obviously don't care.

Me: But I do care.

SO: Well, just think about what you said.

 

This conversation could carry on forever, it's obvious I'm never going to understand what it was I did, so all I can say is...

I hope it all works out Ironic!
