Quote: Paddy Irishman, Sept 2009For months, any time my friend and I are talking about tv shows, I mention that I think The Wire is the best show ever, and that I think he'd really like it. I'm not one of those who constantly badger people and start saying "You have to watch this... best show ever!", but if we're talking about tv, I recommend it to him.
Always, all I get from him is "No. Sounds sh*te. Watched 5 minutes of one episode that was on a few weeks ago and it was sh*te. I hadn't a clue what was going on. Why do you like it so much? Can't see how anyone could like it!"
Few minutes ago, he text me asking me for the boxset. Said he's watched a few episodes now and its getting good. I said "So you finally gave in and decided to listen to me?". He replied "Nah, my brother text me a while ago and told me to start watching it cos it was good"
F*ck sake! I've been saying that for months, and you never gave it a chance. And you know we have similar taste in shows and stuff. Yet your brother texts you just saying "Watch The Wire" and you come to me looking for the boxset? Then your brother makes fun of me for buying the dvds "in this day and age".
F*cking hell....
ah, people always do that. it's a right pain in the a*s, especially if you literally show them smt and later they are all like 'NOES I HAD TOTALLY SEEN/READ/HEARD OF THAT BEFORE!!23'.
i find not bothering introduce people to things works better.
