Life Flabbergasted and pissed

RedThat · 08-01-2010, 04:07 PM

Totally felt this way yesterday and Im a little bit better today. Im just wondering if I have good reason to feel this way and ask for the opinions of the readers of this thread. I'll explain.

I was at a wedding last night, and happened to be part of a bridal party. The person who got married I had been friends with for years, dating back since high school. I've done him favors left, right, and center throughout the time knowing him but he just happens to be one of those people that depends on you to do stuff for him, but when it comes to you, he would do very little. Last night topped it off and fully convinced me that I shall never do anything for this guy again.

He orders a limo to pick us up at his house. The limo took us to the church, to the park to take pictures for the wedding, and finally to the banquet hall. I was kind enough to bring some booze and play batender in the limo by serving drinks for everyone. Oh and to mention I gave him a good chunk of change to support him and his wife for both the hall and honeymoon.

So last night at around 1am in the morning were at the banquet hall and I asked him out of the blue, I said, "How am I going to get home?" The reason I asked him this question was because I recall that the limo driver told me he wasn't coming back. Now, my friend never mentioned this to me before the wedding. When I asked him that very question you know what his response was? "IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY!"

When he said that, I wanted to grab him and choke him to death. What he said, definately made me feel very angry and like sh*t. I was going to tell him off then and there, but felt it wasn't a good idea since it was his special day, and I didn't want any animosity to arise or did not want to put other peoples nights down as a result. With that being said, I managed to keep my cool.

But I told him straight, that he should of got a bus to escort us back home to his house because thats where all of our cars were when the limo came to pick us up. But, what really ticked me off even more was that his eff'n wife ordered a bus because she had family that came over from greece. The bus took them back to her house where they stayed over night to sleep. but then Im like, "What about the F***'N bridal party?! Why aren't we getting this very same type of treatment? Just totally surprised and upset at the way this a**hole had treated me. Later on in the night, he kept insisting that I should hitch rides with other people like other distant friends or members of his family that happened to come along and were about to leave. Is this right? To go around doing something like that? Im thinking in my head, are you stupid? do you think I am going to go around asking people for rides, and doing that especially when you are a part of the groom? You know how silly and stupid that looks.

*So I just got up, and left. I didn't even say goodbye, never turned back, I just called a cab and fucked off! Im never EVER doing a favor for this guy again. So, finally let me ask you planteers, do you think Im right? Do I have reason to feel this way or should I just relax and not take it too hard?

Yes, you have a valid reason to be pissed.

The bigger question, however, is, "Men attend 'bridal' parties?"

**Bwana** · 08-01-2010, 04:13 PM

The guy sounds like a first class douche bag and should have been out of your life along time ago. You took it very easy on him to be honest.

Hootie · 08-01-2010, 04:15 PM

If it was that easy to take a cab...

why did you care in the first place?

How much was the cab fare?

Seriously...

If the cab was REALLY that easy AND an option...how was this a big deal at all?

You're absolutely right. I regret even saying yes to be a part of his wedding.

Duck Dog · 08-01-2010, 04:25 PM

You lost me at 'part of the bridal party'.

Marcellus · 08-01-2010, 04:28 PM

Chalk it up as a learning experience and move on.

A real man wouldn't have started this thread to bitch and moan. Go ahead and cut him out of all your pictures and re-upload them to facebook though, honey. You'll feel better.

Cab fare was 60 bucks.

But that's not the point. It's the treatment received.

It was about him being a snake about something, and not being open, honest, and considerate towards me. I acted nice, considerate and did a favor for him, and when I asked him for something back in return I pretty much get abit of f*** you I don't give a sh*t attitude...that pretty much explains the hated and the rage.

that's a big deal to me.

i believe it's more about the guy's attitude ... "you help me, but you are on your own"

Pretty trivial thing to get pissed about.

Every time I walk out my door I have a plan in place to get home, because I know I'm a wastoid. Me getting home is no ones problem but my own, and I own it. I actually look at as a challenge, like the Predator, my mission is to get home. I wouldn't rely on a guy to save my life in the jungle, I don't rely on anyone to get me home on a Saturday.
