I have a nemesis. She both hates my guts and wants to be me.

#47

Do you actively work to undermine her in any way or vice-versa?

I used to have a rival when I was a teenager. He was head of the boys’ school magazine and I was head of the girls’ school magazine. We were friends (I fancied him for a bit, ew gross), then he was inexplicably horrible to me… like he apologised for something nasty he said and yet the next thing I knew he was telling someone he wanted me to drown in a river??? Literally such an arsehole. Smug Tory too, the human definition of mansplaining, now works for the Mail’s sport section.

Low point was when (while we were not on terrible terms) I invited him to a Facebook event about Non-League Day as he was ostensibly a huge football fan. His posted this:

"Dear All,

I’ve sent off for my FOOTBALL LEAGUE tickets so regrettably I cannot attend NON LEAGUE day. Which isn’t even non league day because LEAGUE ONE and to some extent two are playing. But best of luck to the Tonbridge Angels, I saw they beat Bury Town who have the misfortune of fielding our rather useless striker James Scowcroft these days. I guess that really more than anything shows the difference in class.

Lots of footbally love,
[his name]
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Still, I had the last laugh two weeks ago… because he supports Leyton Orient :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: Needless to say, I will be tweeting him a screenshot on the next NLD. Literally can’t wait.

She has tried to undermine me by hacking the accounts of the voluntary organisation we had both been working on (and deleting the Twitter, which was something I’d spent months building up), attempting to turn friends against me, tell my first Countdown ex (who at that point I’d not really spoken to for over 2 years) a very revisionist version of what happened, and sending me a stream of bile about how she was much better at training to be a journalist than me, why I didn’t get a job I went for at a place I’d done work experience (I’m a “jumped-up little so-and-so who thinks she knows everything and doesn’t want to learn”), and how any ‘real journalist’ would laugh in my face if they knew I was struggling with the exams because they were so easy. the stream of bile was triggered by me drunkenly shitposting to a friend about how Dark Side Of The Moon is crap, which set her off because she wasn’t “safe” from my “adolescent drivel”.

I have undermined her by staying Queen Bee, getting the Twitter account back, getting more than double the number of people at my London event than went to her London event 3 years ago, refriending my first Countdown ex and giving him the full story, and probably shagging someone she shagged a few years ago who it turns out has liked me all along.* (*This is not a deliberate undermining… I have also fancied him for ages.)

i have just looked him up and it turns out he has reinvented himself as an earnest singer songwriter of the worst possible kind, thereby humiliating himself more than i could ever dream of.

Sounds like you’re bossing this rivalry mate, nice one :thumbsup:

The work experience lad beat me at chess yesterday lunchtime. He is now my #nemesis.

He looks remarkably like Troye Sivan though, so he gets a free pass.

not a fan of bury st edmonds being referred to as “bury”, mainly coz im from actual bury, in lancs, and ive got cousins who lived in bury st edmonds, and it gets confusing (but not that much (but it shouldnt be allowed))
