Women and men are placed all along the spectrum fairly well. Based on what you say, a woman is never a match for a man physically. Do you honestly think this is true in all cases? Such invalid logic.

Although, I see plenty of people taking cheap shots, mainly because it's an internet forum and that makes them "invincible" (See Penny Arcade's Theories on Green Blackboards and Other Anomalies), for me, I don't condone just going around "slugging" females or males. Would it have been alright (maybe except the fact that it was over a cell phone) to you if the altercation was between a male and the original poster pushed him? Of course it would have.

Reading this was a waste of my life.

Then again reading anything here is a waste of my life so I should've known better.

So she is sitting there not making a call but pushing buttons, so we are like, what are you doing. She says she is installing mobile IM. We are like, dont install crap on the phone, you said you were making a call.

So we get the phone back and ALL of the pictures and videos that were saved on the phone are gone. I remember the phone was low on memory last week, so we figure it prompted to delete stuff to make room for the IM program and she said yes. We ask why are the pics gone, and she gets upset and tries to claim that she didn't do it. I get upset with her and tell her it had to have been her, just admit to it. After shouting at each other for a bit he leaves for a minute, and then comes back and starts screaming in my face. I yell at her to shut the fvck up and shoved her away from me. She leaves for a moment again and then comes back and throws a bottle of Smirnoff at us. I grab the bottle and throw it back at her as she is walking away yet again. After that we all left. Out in the street she yells at us, Im sorry....but I didn't do anything to your phone.

I would have been happy if she just admitted that it might have been her that lost the pics and apologized. That and asked for permission to go installing programs on a phone that isn't hers. Oh well.

a part of me died after reading that.

I don't think you are weird because you pushed a girl. Perhaps a bit of an asshole, but not weird. However, who the fvck gets upset over someone using their cellphone? Holy hell, man.

It's not over using the cell phone. If the person was going to make a phone call, that would have been fine. Instead, she downloaded (without asking) a mobile IM program and in the process, allegedly deleting photos stored on the phone to make room for the IM program.

Just have your GF borrow her PC. Either load it up with malware or reformat.

Don't get mad, get even :thumbsup:

i am confused...who has a whole bottle at a bar usually?

Anyway you give a chick a phone, it's her's not yours.

Your 'we' is more than likely just you. Those lost pics she has elsewhere.

I am guessing you in your drunken state snatched the phone out of her hands and 'deleted' those pics yourself. Since you already know exactly why that happened.

Why would anyone chose your merchandise and support when while you are physically on-site, you lost it all?

I was expecting a little more out of the story to be honest. But it is better than nothing.


BTW, you should have threatened to punch her in the taint if she ever throws a bottle at you again.

This was the stupidest thread on ATOT I've read in a very long time...

let's review

you put up a thread to tell us about how your fiancee's friend MIGHT have deleted stuff on your phone, and you yelled at each other for a few minutes outside of a bar.

Who said anything about a full bottle? It was 16 oz or whatever those are.

You let someone borrow a phone and its theirs all of a sudden?

Your 'we' is more than likely just you. Those lost pics she has elsewhere.
Pics were there when we handed it to her. She even commented on the background pic. And no, they aren't elsewhere, she doesn't have a data cable to send them to the computer.

Im not allowed to guess how they got deleted? And I dont see how I could have deleted them myself when she hands me the phone, I open it, and the background pic is gone.

Say what?

Two chicks in a bar and neither has their own phone? WOW!

You say you are a computer support person, yet two drunk women managed to delete all pics on your phone right in front of you? Also FTW you don't need a data cable to get pics to your PC.

It was the fiancees phone. Maybe I didn't say that in the OP :confused:

I wasn't standing over her shoulder monitoring what she was doing with the thing. I realize you dont need a cable but Verizon charges too much for picture messaging IMO.

yet you posted the play by play in your first post.

So was she sitting there pushing buttons and installing stuff while you watched, or did you simply come back and delete your own pictures in a stupor?

I don't get it.

I don't get it.

She was pushing buttons, but I was across from the table and couldn't see what was on the screen. How hard is this for you to figure out?

It's not hard to figure out...everyone is laughing at you defending yourself over your own hash of the facts.

I wonder why you have to analyse his story to see if he's lying or not. Don't you got better things to do, old boy?

sorry actually not tonight.

it's pretty obvious he is not telling the full story "we were like don't install stuff on the phone" (this should have been an I, since he said it was totally his phone) "I didn't know what she was doing from across the table". (poster seems to both know exactly what was going on and also claims he didn't).

Maybe this sounds exciting to you if you never get out. I like the mention of him shoving a chick, then her attacking the whole group with a bottle that he throws back at her, then her waiting in the street for them to apologize.

well you dont have any proof that she did delete the pics and I bet she probably didnt delete them, at least her not knowingly.

But you shouldn't throw or even shove girls at any time.
