i saw the question posted on another forum i lurk around, thought it might be interesting to post here. not necessarily to get answers (though it'd be interesting to hear) but kinda just to make yah think....
as for me, on a daily basis i pretend not to know customers are outright lying when they call in to verizon wireless customer service and act like they don't know where download charges on their bill came from
Continuing the slightly-off-topic discussion:
I want this..... as a tattoo.

I'm gonna put it on my Xmas list that I'd like someone to shout me a tat. ^-^
I've mentioned it to Mum & Dad, but I dunno if it'll happen. Dad's anti-tattoo. ::)
Not that I'd let that prejudice stop me, but he wouldn't buy me one. ;D
I'm pretending not to know that my DH is not going to do the one thing I asked him to do to help celebrate our 25th WA. Bummer, but I can't make him. It IS a silly thing...but I wish he would. Ah, well.

That's beautiful! :)>>>
So why doesn't your guy want you to get a tat? ???
he doesnt want me to "degrade" my body. he says it'll make me look ugly. for some reason he seems to think i'm gonna get it on my face or something. i want it on the inside of my left wrist, maybe up towards my elbow a bit... he thinks it'll look unprofessional, but i've had my supervisor tell me to "totally do it" lol it's not like i wear tshirts to work or somethin, my arms are always covered.
but even if i got a tattoo on the bottom of my foot, where he won't ever see it, he'd still be upset about it. he's weird.

That'll make an awesome tattoo!! If you don't get it soon, I may have to steal the idea from you.
Me too.
I'm pretending not to know that I'm incredibly lonely and that my "friends" have forgotten about me.
Laura-- HUGS. I haven't forgotten about you! I know I am not a friend IRL, and truly, I could just be a figment of the Interweb, but still, I loves ya, baby!
I am pretending not to know that I have to go to work at some point in the next 3 hours. GUH.
Ditto.
I'm pretending not to know that I have nothing in common anymore with most of my friends IRL. I wish all of us vegwebbers had our own little town!
Ah, that vegan commune we discussed way back when... What an ideal existence.
Thanks sharway - I feel a bit better.
Ditto.
I'm coming to think this is a recurrent phase in life that everyone cycles through viciously.

I was just about to say the same thing.
Yeah, except...
I've never really had friends. Long story.
I'm pretending not to know that everyone in this thread has got the "I'mlonelynofriendshavingblues"
:rabbit2: <--- this rabbit here is giving out hugs to help unlonely un-unhappy.
I'm pretending not to know how much I've got my hopes up and how much my hopes will be dashed if I don't get this.
I'm pretending not to know that he's right when he said that we're pretty much doomed...that all other past efforts to fix things have failed and that we're out of options... *sigh* :-\
I'm pretending not to know how hurt I'll be when DH doesn't do what I have been asking him to do for our anniversary. Not very successfully, but I have almost a month to get over myself.

(((CW))) I don't know the sitch, but I hope things work out for the best. :( either way - reaffirmation, or peaceable moving on?...

Aww, yabbit, why won't he? :-\ and what is it? if I may ask.
Since our first date (which coincides with our WA) we have always gone on that date to the same restaurant (which has a veg*n menu now.) I asked him to call and make a reservation, and tell them it's our silver wedding--just to see if they'd come up with a nice touch, like flowers on the table or something. He says they won't, "we don't do that here, that's the English." He's probably right...but would it hurt him to try, just to please me? I'd almost prefer he'd pretend to make the call and then say "Well I guess they didn't do anything about it."
He's probably right, though, and I need to let go and lighten up and just enjoy the day.
Uncurl those fingers, yabbit. :-[

Hmmm, I dunno, I think that's a bit mean of him. :ouch: But well, some people can't or shouldn't be forced. Poor yabbit.
I'm pretending not to know that my bf can no longer continue to be a self employed mortgage advisor in the current climate and that he is going to have to try to get any job going, even if it is poor wages and not what he wants to do. I am also pretending not to know that we cannot survive on my wages alone.
I am also pretending not to know that the other night my bf said that maybe he would like to move to New Zealand after all, when I finish my diploma (seeing as he probably cannot continue to be a mortgage advisor)

Have you already been to the restaurant...is it today? Maybe he did call...............
:randomly optimistic: :/
I'm pretending not to know that my tummy just started to REALLY HURT. Gar. Gurgle. Pain.
I actually can't pretend not to know... I know.
I'm pretending not to know that I'm hungry, because I ate dinner at 5pm.
