You're fishing in the wrong pond and you're too nice, my friend. They are only behaving that way because you are allowing it. The behavior with the food is also a warning and basic sign of narcissism, imho.

I once explained to a date that the complex chemistry involved in cooking their meal was the result of knowledge as well as good old, trial and error. The meal before her was planned, executed, and served according to all of their previous work and it is insulting to think that her "addition" would modify the meal positively. She looked at me and said, "Oh...I never thought of that."

My client did that BullShirt at a restaurant for dinner last week. I ordered a braised beef rib garnished with sautéed arugula and cherry tomatoes, which was a limited time special while he ordered a redfish dish then proceeded to modify it like he was the master chef. When the meals were presented my was perfection and though his looked amazing, the taste was bland. Why? His machinations completely F'ed up the chemistry of the combinations the chef presented. He then proceeded to ask to see the chef and told him that the meal was a 5.5 on a scale of 1-10 and though the chef wouldn't tell him he modified, I certainly did. He said, "Yeah, well that's true.", and I said this is why you don't "F" with the food. The chef nodded his head very slightly and left. 10 minutes later drinks and 2 experimental desserts were delivered to the table, compliments of the chef, WITH instructions on how to partake.

I'm running far afield here but trust me, you don't want to be around anyone who behaves as you just described.

Let me ask you this: Are you relieved when they leave or do you miss them?

I know that. It seems the world is full of people who believe it’s their world and we just live it in. I hate people!

I was relieved when they left.

I have a friend who goes into restaurants, intentionally makes them veer off their scripts, and then whines when the result isn't what he expected. The sign outside the building says "wings and ribs," so don't ask them to make you a pizza and complain that it's mediocre.....

You're welcome.

She’s ugly. You can do much better.

Perhaps I'm just apathetic or lazy, but I have never created a playlist in a music app. Never. I listen to the radio, or a CD. My friend wanted to listen to my jukebox, so I queued up the first 5 CDs. Then it started. "Oh - I don't like this song - skip it". Can't. It's a jukebox. Eventually, we switched to radio. Then it continued "Oh - I don't like this song - skip it". Can't. it's radio. "Do you have Spotify?". No. "Pandora?" No.

She's incredibly demanding that everything has to be just perfectly how she wants it - close that blind, turn the air up, turn the music up, skip this song... I clearly have the wrong friends.

Wtf......she’s a guest not an empress

Lazy much?

There is your answer, my friend. That is why I broke up with the fitness model. I was relieved whenever she left. That is no good.

Rid her from your life. You deserve better.

I don't go out with anything less than an 8. My attorney told me today, if you were as good at picking horses as you are picking up women, we wouldn't have to work.

This is typical.
