A dickaround game (sometimes spelled with a space after the k) is a game a narcissist plays to be purposely late. Did they promise to drop you off or pick you up from
work at x time while your far is getting fixed? They don't have to get out of the
car, they will be seen by nobody, but before they can drive 10 minutes to your
work and back again, (all gas and time is comped) they have to get dressed up as if going to fancy dinner party, spend hours putting on makeup or "feeding the
cats" hours before they're scheduled to be fed. If you bring up the fact that they are AT LEAST (I'm being way too unrealistic here here) 45 minutes late it's somehow your fault because you said "between 9:10 and 9:12" and that's not an EXACT time. The solution is to distance yourself from your mother or
whatever other family member pulls this shit on you and find some friends who will
help you as you
help them.
Sorry Frank, I know I said I'd have my mom's truck here to
help you move at 10, but she's playing dickaround games and has to style her
hair before she can give me the
key to the truck. Listen, I feel really bad, I guess I'll pay for a truck rental.
