most narcissistic comments ever

[Stormchild]

His favorite were puns, which sort of sit there, not moving the conversation along, and he would do about 10 in a row.  Sothe whole conversation was about his puns. Now I still feel assaulted by puns when I hear them...

Oh, what a shame that he ruined that for you. Some of the best times I can ever remember, with friends, were when we were punning up a storm, bouncing them back and forth off each other like little nerf balls of words, until we all finally lost it and collapsed howling.

D**n him for depriving you of that.  

[vunil]

Yes, that is a shame.  I do like puns, too. It was just that he would start it up in the middle of what I thought was a serious conversation, and off we'd go into pun-land.

I am going to reclaim my affection for puns  No need to cede them to that memory.

Eww, Vunil, how icky. That's a diversionary tactic, and verbally abusive. He was depriving you of a real conversation and real relating, and on top of it, demanding that you admire his performance at depriving you. And trying to ruin a form of wordplay, too. What a toad.    

I've seen that trick before, too. Ugh. Do you know Patricia Evans' book The Verbally Abusive Relationship? She is actually describing Ns' tactics, and this one is on her list. She figured out about Ns later on, and wrote another book called Controlling People. (Sadly, it's not an operators' manual for how to control Ns, but it isn't a bad Field Guide.)

October's NDad: "It is easier for you to pretend ignorance, not being a man."

October's chorus of supporters on this board: "At least she would be pretending! In your case the ignorance is entirely authentic."

 

FOCL!!!!!!!!!

"hey, I said something clever, did you notice, I said something that I'm pleased with, hey, did you hear that witty remark I just made? Huh? huH?, so I'll just say it again in case you didn't hear" thing.

Too true.  My dad repeats everything he says endlessly.  Mind you, with my mum around, I don't blame him, because she never listens.  

I tend to say things once, and then give up.  Saves wasting time and energy saying things that are never going to be heard.

[mum as guest]

I tend to say things over and over but in a different way each time......that is the teacher in me.....drives my own kids crazy (but if they responded the first time, I'd shut up...you'd think they'd learn!) And my training as the baby in a big, Catholic family....well, I learned to be loud (even if it didn't help) and then feel bad about it.

People were talking abot N's and greed on the "poopy day" thread, which reminded me of a classic line by my xNbf. In those days I only liked smooth peanut butter (easier to spread), so when he went to the shop I aksed him to get some, stressing that I wanted smooth, not chunky. I reminded him three times. He comes back from the shop with chunky peanut butter. I ask him why he did that, when I had been so clear on what I wanted. His reply:

- Yes, but this was two pence cheaper.

(And this just goes to show his entire attitude, he really was that cheap!)

[Lara]

Yes Sleepyhead, my ex was also really cheap.
If we were paying for something in a shop, he would keep a queue of people waiting behind us while he counted out pennies to pay with.I remember an occasion when he counted out 78 pennies and gave them to the cashier.

Also, such a strange comment that at the time I thought it was a joke, soon after he left me for his new girlfriend, he told me that he would have stayed with me if I had had a better car!

Best wishes,
Lara.

Oh Lara!!  I'm so sorry!! I'm laughing out loud and that is just too flippin' halarious!!! (if it wasn't so pathetic!!).

Lucky you and your old jalopy!!  Praise be old machinery and the woman who own them!!!

Poooor new gurlie and her fancy mobile!  Makes ya wanna leave a note on the windshield, doesn't it??

"Dear New Gurlie:

 He's only with you because he likes your car.  Once it loses it's novelty, so will you.  Just warning you so you can prepare for the ultimate deterioration of both your emotional well-being and that of your vehicle.

Love, From one he considers an owner of an old jalopy but who is really very lucky and thankful that I don't have a better car."

Hi GFN!
I love your message on the windscreen!

What is truly amazing is that
a) he told me that with a perfectly straight face, and
b) I didn't query it with him!

I just don't know where my brain was in those days! I wish I could question him about it now...it would be interesting to know why he thought it was an acceptable and everyday remark to make!

Lots of love,
Lara.

[Anonymous]

Aww Lara!

I bet you were in shock/despair/confusion?    

Question him now?

Why bother?

He's a dork.  Dorks say dorky stuff.  They think dorky stuff and do dorky stuff.

I'm just glad you're rid of him!

wow... looking at all those postings of quotes from other N's makes me feel so at home (spit, spit, cough, sputter).  The whole thing about repeating the same 'witty' statement until it's drilled into your head really hits home.  Anyone experience the constant barrage of "you should do this" or "you don't make enough money" or "why did you do that" crap... ya know where anything and everything you do is never enough or never the right way - the completely unpleasable mate?

[OR]

here's one I just got form the H, Longtire thought it would apply here.

Claims the mini stroke he had affecting his face is MS. The MS affects the brain and he will be able to forget about why he should Divorce me, it's all under the bridge, he only has time for the serious stuff, like his health and being a part of our D's life.
