Tell me a story...

[aldersprig]

When I was a kid, my parents and I used to play the "what do you think their story is?" game, making up stories about everyday situations. People don't seem to like to play this anymore, but I could use it today.

(fear of conflict means, it seems, other people's conflict stresses me out.)

Overheard, in the Greyhound (bus station) parking lot, a couple with luggage in and around a car:

Person One: (Inarticulate screaming)
Person Two: "I made you my fucking wife and you piss[ed] all over [pronoun uncertain? me, it?]"
Person One: (more screaming)
(note: they are still moving around the car, moving luggage)
Person Two: "You fucking disgust me!"

Traffic light changes, and I drive away.

So... what do you think their story is? Feel free to be as ridiculous, fantastical, strange, out there, weird, as you like

Pratchett icon love :D

Um, story:

Person two is more in love with person one than the other way around.
Person two, let's call him Joe, doesn't love easily but he took a chance on person one, let's call her Jane. It's their first year anniversary and to celebrate they're going to Miami or somewhere.
Except this morning, Joe found out that Jane has had an affair with his best friend - soon to be ex-best friend.
He almost expects this from best friend, who has the attention span of a goldfish and the libido of a rabbit in spring, but he didn't expect it from his wife. She promised she'd always be faithful, she swore she'd never even look at another man.
Joe wasn't certain he was ready to get married - he's taking his vows very seriously - but Jane kept insisting she was ready to settle down.

Jane can't understand the big deal. She's married, not dead, and it was just one time and it was only with best friend - not like he was some stranger she met in a bar.
She wishes Joe would lighten up sometimes. He's so serious about everything, quite unlike best friend. Sometimes she just wants to cut loose and have fun without worrying over every little potential consequence.
Joe's such a drama queen, and he won't listen to her explain how and why it happened.

So they're both yelling, neither one willing to give an inch.

:-D hard to find Pratchett quotes short enough to make icons!!

And... yowch. Yeah, that's believable. But painful.
