I received a call from my friend just now asking me to do her a favour. Guess what she asked me to do!
No idea?
OK, she asked me to call her back in about 2 minutes because her friend and her met some other friends whom they don't feel like dining with but do not know how to reject them, thus, she wanted me to help her put up an act. LOL.
We were acting for about 2-3 minutes and I couldn't stop laughing after I put the phone down! All of us thought that this only happen in TV shows/movies till that moment.
Have any of you done that before?

That's quite unusual, I have never done that kind of acting before, well I'm not good in such kind of stuff. If I will be persuaded bu my friends to perform such king of acting for her in order to make excuses to the person she can't take longer time to be with. I would just refuse because as I said I'm not good in acting. And I think your experience with your friend at that moment was such a funny thing.

Hahah, well, I don't need any acting skills cause the other side of the line (my friends) are more important because the other people are there. All I had to do is to sit there and answer and laugh. LOL. It was funny, couldn't stop laughing

I think this is rather lame. Why cant your friend just reject that particular person. Or she could say that oh no, i am busy. I dont think i can make it. Asking you to act together means that you are her partner in crime. I dont think it is very good to deceive someone. For me, i will just tell the person that i am really busy with projects, school or work. These are the options that you should ask your friend to choose. Have a nice day.

HAHA, the thing is, her friend and her are having dinner, but other friends were there and asked them to join, but they don't know how to reject.

Do you mean to say acting as in making some excuses that there is an urgent appointment with regards to the call that she had to see to.. like immediately? Lol.. that's such an old method to doing stuff 
But good one anyway.
Nope, I had not done that before though I had been in similar situations like your friend whereby I just feel like I can't breathe and just want to escape. Like today! I went out with a friend who brought her two friends along. Well, these two guy friends of hers has so much attitude in them that I just felt uncomfortable and just wanted to escape. There is absolutely nothing to talk about and they felt that it was so much fun just to say around looking at each other and shouting vulgarities. Needless to say, after just 1 hour of being there.. I made some excuses and just left.
Lol.. there is no need to trouble others when we can do it ourselves, just long as we don't feel paisseh rejecting others. Well, thanks for sharing your story with us.. and take care!!

Yes! You've got it right. We use a lame excuse and say we've not met in a long long time and asked them to meet me. I must agree it's a really really old method. It is hilarious when you are in the act itself. LOL. See you tomorrow!
