Friend's friend problem.

[Uncle_bob]

http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Sometimes when Uncle calls a certain friend of his, Uncle's friend's (who we will refer to as Kat) friend (who we will refer to as Bob), is there with Kat or she's on the phone with Bob (cellphone - Uncle, house phone - bob). Anyway, Bob tends to get pissy and..jealous acting when Uncle calls.

Uncle isn't sure if it's Kat's talking to Uncle that pisses Bob off or if just anyone talking to her on the phone pisses Bob off.

Anyway, what should Uncle do about this situation?

Well i would suggest a rubby, but i havn't seen that talked about outside of fresh kills.

Maybe you should sit down and talk to Kat, tell them that it's kind of annoying when Kat talks to someone else at the same time. Say that if Kat is busy talking to someone else when Uncle calls then Kat should not answer another phone, it's rude to both Bob and Uncle. Let Uncle get through to answerphone, and phone him back when Kat has finished talking to Bob.

If they won't do as you request then there isn't much you can do really.

[ABDUR101]

If they're boyfriend/girlfriend or together in some way, than the person might have issues with his significant other talking to other guys on the phone. Maybe he's had problems in the past with former girlfriends and so on cheating on him or backstabbing him, or even talking bad about him while on the phone to others.

Depending on how long you've known "Kat", maybe they have caused problems in the past and "Bob" has reason to get pissy.

What can you do? Absolutely nothing, you're just a friend and you have no say in how they treat each other, thats their issue to deal with and you stepping in and making a scene out of something that you might not know the full story about will only make it worse.

[Ness]

You should ask either Bob or Kat what the deal is.

[_Ted_]

I think Uncle Bob should get a trophy for giving false names to other and talking about a situation all in third person.
If they are girlfriend and boyfriend, then "Bob" should get over it, unless Uncle is making a move on Kat...then Uncle will just have to kill Bob to avoid any more trouble.

[Outrider]

I just wish Uncle could've said that in a more confusing manner.

Just ask one of them what the deal is.

[Uncle_bob]

Well, to the best of Uncle's knowledge, Bob and Kat aren't going out. (Uncle and Kat were together that one point though) Although Bob may have a thing for Kat, that could explain his behavior? Or maybe Kat is just scared to tell Uncle that she and Bob are going out and that Uncle would be mad, which he wouldn't be, and he's told her that before. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Oh well. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[Uncle_bob]

Update:

Uncle was talking to Kat on AIM today, she went AFK for a bit and Bob started using her AIM SN. He started saying things like "I'm your worst nightmare" and whatnot. He pretty much said for Uncle not to call unless he's not there and that Uncle better hope he doesn't meet Bob IRL some day, blah blah.

Uncle isn't scared of Bob, but he is worried that if he does meet Bob IRL some day that Bob may assault Uncle and that Bob or Uncle will be killed/injured in the process. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_nono.gif

Uncle, do what your Title says, Kick Bob's booty and make him cry to his uncle! Just to make things more complicated make a move on Kat it you wanna piss off Bob. Oh yea, who the heck says "I am your worst nightmare" I mean really.

[Uncle_bob]

Well, Uncle would prefer to avoid a physical conflict if possible. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

[Pancake]

What about embarasing him in front of the whole school?

[Uncle_bob]

Uncle and Bob aren't even in the same grade, much less the same school. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

And Kat is one of those girls that goes out with some boy 3 years older and in another school in another district? I hate it when girls do that. If you want Kat make a move, she's yours not some older (Or Younger) Dudes, your the uncle show them what your made of!

Well, Bob is about a year or so younger, not sure what school he goes to. Kat is homeschooled, heh.

Anyhow, this isn't an issue of "who gets the girl", this is more along the lines of "Uncle preserving the integrity of his friendship with Kat".

[_Ted_]

Why not just mail (http://www.smellypoop.com/) the other guy and show your mutual dislike for him?

[Pancake]

We have some very talented Photo Shop Artist on PSOW, do you get what i am going at? Ok if you don't, get a picture of him and someone can make it look like he is cheating on her!

*blink* They're not BF and GF. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[Pancake]

Oh ok well, whats his problem then! He is younger? Man, talk to Kat about it, cause that little twerp needs to bug off!

[Uncle_bob]

Well, Uncle highly doubt Kat will just stop having anything to do with him unless he (bob) does something very bad to her. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Outrider]

Uncle, just mention it to Kat. I'm sure that'll clear things up. Just be like, "Uh... for some reason he gets mad at me for talking to you. Double-u Tea Eff?"

I dislike it when people try and screw up a friendship. Your situation, specifically.

[Pancake]

How long have you known her, and does she know he was on her SN, you know...that can really piss someone off.

[Uncle_bob]

To Outrider: Yea, Uncle will mention it to her as soon as possible.

To Episode3: Uncle has known her since October 10th of 2003, and Uncle isn't sure if she knew he was using her SN while she was away doing whatever.

[_Ted_]

I think Uncle wants to be a bit more than just friends if he remebers the exact date like that.

[Bradicus]

I think Episode3 needs to watch less TV >_>

[_Ted_]

I think Bradicus is jealous because he didn't get to watch his soaps today.

Yes, but that's not Uncle's decision. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif When Kat and Uncle broke up, she did mention about wanting to try again later (she just wasn't ready at the time), Uncle told her it's her choice if she wants to get back together, not Uncle's choice. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

And now Uncle is a bit afraid that Bob may get to the point where he may try to hurt Kat. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Ness thought he told Uncle to talk to Bob and see what the problem is. Ness thinks that the conflict here is a result of a lack of communication.

P.S.

Shit, now you have Ness talking in third person.

[Uncle_bob]

Gawd, what's with all this 3rd person stuff? You people are crazy! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif And Uncle has no way to communicate with Bob, whether it be E-mail, snail-mail, phone, fax, telephone, carrier pidgeon.

Anyhow, Uncle will talk to Kat about the issue tonight.

[Outrider]

Best of luck.

[SJ]

Nah I say you should try a pidgeon aswell.

Ahhhhh! Kat is going to marry an Axe Murderer!

[SJ]

Maybe the reason Uncle cant get hold of bob is because hes a crazy, axe wielding homeless guy?

[Uncle_bob]

Well, Uncle talked to Kat about the aforementioned issues, she apologized even though SHE didn't do anything wrong. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif She had to leave before we could finish the convo, said to call "Tomorrow" which is today. First time in a while she's ASKED Uncle to call, maybe it's important? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif

Uncle, good luck, but don't go expecting too much. I wasn't entirely sure what you meant by your last comment there. I dunno, just hope everything goes well.

Uncle just meant that maybe she'd explain why Bob is so pissed at Uncle and whatnot. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif Anyhow, we talked about it last night and Bob just happened to call during the convo. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

When Kat got back on the other line with Uncle she sounded a bit hurt and sad. Uncle asked what was wrong but as usual, she denied anything being wrong, she's a horrible liar. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif

Man, I hate Bob! He is messing everything up for you, someone needs to PWN Bob! Hey, Unlce...if you hate Bob so much, why did you give him your name? Why not name him Jerry?

You might notice that he only gave him Half of his name, infering that Bob is only half the man that Uncle is.

Even if Uncle did that, Bob might have "connections". http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

So....
Uncle beats up bob.
Runs away laughing.
Has some kind of mob/maffia chasing you all over the country.

Solution : Ummm kill him, dump his body and flee the country?

I'm afraid you're stuck here....

[Uncle_bob]

Sorry to bump this, but Uncle figured he should post a reply to this instead of re-making the topic. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Apparently the problems with "Bob" have resurfaced, he's managed to get a LJ account and find Uncle's LJ.

His user name is 4 In One. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Well, Kat has a LJ too, so that's how he got to Uncle's LJ.
