gahh! annoying friend thing

ok... so through her work, my mum was fairly positive she would be able to get me and my friends free tickets to see this famous comic (his shows are all sold out before the tickets even go on sale). She asked her connection, and he was like "oh yeah, sure... that works." So I told my friends about it, and they were all really excited. Now my mom's connection guy is being like "well, i dont know, I might need to give the tickets to someone else blah blah." So my friends (really just one) is being all like "are we going?", "where are the tickets?" "so whats the deal with the 15th?" like every day. its SO annoying, especially since a) i (nor my mum) have ANY control over the matter and b) i mean... these would be REALLY expensive tickets, so it was going to be a huge treat... none of us could've gone normally! (not that we couldve gotten the tickets anyway...) ever heard of looking a gift horse in the mouth? :mad:

so how do I handle it??? I'm really starting to lose my temper, and I keep saying "we dont know yet, my mum is doing her best", but its not working.

tell them you can no longer get them. this way if you do you can seel them for exorbitant prices on ebay and make alot of money or you can surprise them and itll be nice. but you can get them off your back either way.

Be patient.

Both of you.

If that doesn't work then absolutely lose it.

I would go for the guil trip approach, explain to her that if it wasn't for your mum there would be no chance of any tickets what so ever. So if you get them it's a plus and if you don't you havem't lost anything. If shes a friend then she'll understand and just tell her to relax a bit and that you're doing your best and it's frustrating you as well! hope that helps xx

yeh i know how you feel because you don't want to let her down. But i think just letting her know is the best, because really it's quite selfish to be like that when someone else is kind of doing you a favour which is what you're doing so to then make you feel responsible and question you about it!

Its always a tough situation, if you're close friends then turning round and saying you're really annoying me! shouldn't go down too badly, she'll realise and shut up hopefully.hehehe xxx

yeah... i think im just going to say "I know you're looking forward to this, but as I have reiterated, my mum is doing her best, and its out of my control. I really hope it works out, but you need to stop nagging me about it, because its really frusturating." ...?? sound good?

yeh! absolutely perfect, she can't have a problem with that! Puts you both in the same boat, so she won't feel like you're having a go at her or anything.

It's always easier said than done!lol hope it goes well xxx
