I'd like to think I get along with almost anyone. But there a few people I've crossed paths with whose company I do not really enjoy. Of that small group, there is a handful of people I have tried to like. And I mean *really* tried. I mean extending and accepting invitations to dinner and dimsum. I mean spending precious free time with these people I've told myself I should like -- even if I find them despicable.
Usually they're married to friends. Other times they're good friends of friends.
After years of trying I've come to realize that certain people, like certain chemicals, just don't mix. And no amount of fancy dinners or dimsum (or stirring) will help.
*Samuel Goldwyn
