[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 351231, member: 1991"] Good. So he should have, that was uncalled for. But unfortunately, fairly typical for a bloke who thinks with his gonads. Your call to sister in law clearly interrupted his 'fun and games' and his focus was on his own needs and not on the possibility that you were contacting them about something important. It's the thought at the back of the mind of the self-obsessed person, that your interruption has been made in the full knowledge of what you are interrupting, as if you had some sort of magic camera into their living room... Totally, utterly, egocentric. Right now I'm cranky at a 'friend' who had roped me in to a stage production of hers and now seems to be sabotaging it, making a total mess of it and undermining all the work everyone has put in. I just ran one of those online personality tests on her this afternoon (being careful to answer as generously and honestly as I could) and she scored almost off the scale for histrionic personality disorder, narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. I've just been reading the various criteria and she's a classic Cluster B. An interesting facet of this - every time we meet for a production meeting or even a reading, she wants to have it in a restaurant or cafe, but never has the money to pay her own way. Each time I've watched and seen her manipulate someone else into paying. And she won't talk specifics with the business, she either has someone else delegated to do that, or she will postpone business and say, "let's just enjoy lunch." She needs people to see her as a celebrity, someone who people want to be around to such an extent that they will pay her for the privilege. I think I need to post separately about this, if I can draft something that she won't accidentally find. She is the sort of person who is likely to search the internet for signs that people are talking about her... Marg [/QUOTE]
