So things were rocky between me & my gf last night

We usually meet for lunch, but she didn't reply to my text so I went to the gym

I was about 20 mins into the treadmill when my cell phone goes off, the next few minutes went as follows ...

gf "Where are you? I'm waiting for you?"

me: "In the gym ... where are you?"

gf "waiting for you" (usual place)

me: "I'll be there in 2" (since she sounded like she was crying)

<hang up>

old geezer: " Take it elsewhere"

me: "excuse me?"

old geezer: "You didn't hear me? I could hear you. Take it f***in elsewhere"

me: "It was less than a minute" (gave him the middle finger)

old geezer: "TAKE IT F***IN ELSEWHERE"

me: "don't give yourself a heart attack old man"

old geezer: "whacha gonna do aboud id?"

:confused:

So I walk away - not worth it - should the old man really have a heart attack or decide to take a crack at me, I'd be one in a world of s**t

Ran 4 blocks to meet the gf

she wants to break up

I listen her out and say that I didn't mean what she thought I meant (I do love her but she reads between the lines even if it were a children's book)

Potential break-up averted

Rush back to the gym

Gym front desk won't let me since I didn't have my gym id card and their system was down

Had to call a manager who recognized me

I was well over my lunch hour, so I couldn't shower

Went back to work 15+ mins late

So here I am, lathered in my own sweat, posting my tale of aggravation - enjoy.

You need to break up with her. Having a girlfriend who wants to break up with you because she reads stupid crap into everything you say is not worth it.

Well, you've averted the breakup for now. Enjoy the drama. At least she's not out there doing it to some other poor sucker...

I know :( unfortunately, I'm required by my job to have my cell phone on me during work hours, lunch and breaks included - everyone's a diva in advertising and there's a killer bee in someone's bonnets at any given time. I've become one of those people who're slaves to their cell phones - the kind I used to make fun of while I was in college. Aaah, the follies of my youth.

the gf ... well, I really do love her and a lot of her issues are from her childhood / parents. Anyone else I would have broken up with a long time ago, but it's something that I'm really trying to work with simply because she's great in every other way.

In other related news ...

my future geezer-self stole my stapler :|

I normally don't condone the "just break up with her" posts because we don't really have much insight into your history, but people with those types of personalities really aren't worth undoubted emotional distress in your future. That's a lot of years to deal with that obvious kind of problem. More power to you if you think you can handle it.

hehe

question: just how old and crotchety was this "geezer?" was he actually 80 years +, or was he "I'm a douchebag twenty-something with the world on my finger so anyone above 30 or with a hint of grey hair is a geezer" old?

If he's 80, what's he doing at the gym anyway? shouldn't he be playing shuffleboard or bingo somewhere?

also, is this a story about the old man or about your emotional wreck of a gf? if the later, then L&R--------->

(btw, I am also douchebag 20-something with world on finger, etc...) so no offense. ;)
