This week we see the return of an old friend, ‘In Short’: a summary of the week’s briefer conundrums. Lacking in length but no less important, your Agony Uncle aims to solve all of your problems.
Should a friend tell you when your ex-boyfriend is going out with a mutual friend?
Claire, Melbourne
Let’s not pander the term ‘friend’ around here too liberally. Protocol dictates that a friend should seek the approval of another friend if they wish to pursue their former flame. Get it out in the open and have a word with your acquaintance. Her lunch cutting days are over.
What do I do when fat sorority girls beat me out for guy attention at a frat party?
ALEX!, North
Distract them by throwing a hamburger in the air and swoop in for the kill while they battle over it. I recommend you take out private health insurance in case you become a casualty in your/their frenzy for meat.
Your background gives me an epileptic fit when I scroll too fast.
Liam, Melbourne
This is hardly the “Dennō Senshi Porygon” episdode of Pokémon. If flashing lights perturb you so much, I suggest you seek medical advice and stop spending so much time in nightclubs.
