She's so loud, and one time a nice old man wearing a hearing aid asked her to please lower her voice. She did not.

I don't know about these things but I THINK cabs may cost way more.

But I haven't taken one in years and have never taken Uber or Lyft---wouldn't want to either.

Good for you. She sounds awful. I’d never be friends with someone like that.

Yes, she was. And for awhile, she was all I had so I thought it was better than nothing. Now I realize nothing is better, since she was nothing herself.

I have more boundaries now after all that. It was so hurtful.

We had nothing in common either, and after knowing her 5 years I knew nothing more about her than when we met. No connection. She never opened up about anything like I did, so I don't never really knew her. But I know enough now.

Being that she doesn't get attention from men, she doesn't know what's creepy and what's flattering. And I guess it would differ from woman to woman. Still, one expects other women to at least be sympathetic.

Oddly, it took COVID and lockdowns for me to realize there's no real connection. I mean I didn't even MISS her during lockdowns, and I thought it was a real red flag. I talked to her on the phone but even that I could have lived without. She was always saying stuff like "You should______" or "Why don't you _______?" or "Well did you complain to the manager?"

I guess she's a bit of a "Karen".....I know I'm off topic now but we've talked about cold or superficial women before......
