She had organised a soiree. Mexican themed. She wanted travel movies playing on big TV with music from
elsewhere on play lists she had sorted. Trouble was she bought a new speaker thing and it wouldn¡¯t work. I worked out why it wouldn¡¯t work.?

She¡¯d bought the wrong one. She needed something Bluetooth-always on I had deduced. But of course she believed some salesman.?

I went over to see what I could do or alternatively set up another speaker.?

She was ordering me there at 3pm sharp then said come five minutes earlier. So we drive more than half an hour - arrived set to sort her problems and asked her to point me to what she wanted sorted and she came out with expletives in front of a dozen people and abused me for being there and said I was in the $&@$&!! way.?

I was gobsmacked frankly as I wasn¡¯t attending the party which was supposed to be starting later though it appeared other people had turned up early.?

Anyway it was far too noisy shouting and music turned on via other speaker arrangement I¡¯d suggested on the phone to which she had said no and was insisting she wanted to use what she bought. ?

So I said I can¡¯t stay it¡¯s too noisy and left. Life¡¯s too short to put up with rudeness.?

I¡¯ve done an awful lot for her over the years which she freely admits helped pay for her house. My conscience is fine. I¡¯m leaving her to sort herself out.?

Apology seems to be a dirty word for some groups of people. ?I remember telling my boss some time ago that I had apologised to a colleague for arguing with him; the response was, ¡°Never apologise, it¡¯s a sign of weakness.¡± ?Tommyrot!

Apologising, for me, is the only way for people and relationships to survive.

Bullying is everywhere. I don¡¯t put up with it. I recently had a long term friend be utterly rude to me in front of a group of people at her place when I had called in to fix equipment at her specified time! ? I didn¡¯t make a scene. Made polite excuse and left. Walked up the road and phoned husband to pick me up. I later told her I wasn¡¯t speaking to her she needed to apologise. Some time has elapsed and I just got an email 90% of which was about her. She just hasn¡¯t got it and just showed herself up.?

Very disappointing.?
