It's not that I'm particularly sympathetic but I sometimes give words of wisdom to friends when it all goes wrong (run away from the situation to another country), or in the case of relationships I think they just find it easier to laugh at me than themselves when it all goes wrong.
So the other day I'm online and a girl that I met in China logs on and says to me
"Andy I'm so glad you're online. I'm so fucked up"
"What's wrong?" I said, more out of nosiness than anything else.
"It's like this," she says "Basically this girl asked me if I would sit an exam for her at university and I did"
"erm, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight..."
"...and now she hasn't paid me the 400 Euros she promised me! What am I supposed to do!?"
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
