Life Flabbergasted and pissed - Page 2

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?

Believe me, I don't.

Last night though, was kinda like a final blow.

You're probably a very nice guy, but if you allow yourself to be a target, you should expect to get hit.

Very, very little chance I do the above.

I know. You're upset because this guy who got married didn't want to listen to your whining on his wedding day and suggested several options to get you back to your car, but you wanted a bus or something to take you back. It's trivial bullshit. You want to start the namecalling, you sound like a whiny little bitch over the whole thing.

LaChapelle · 08-01-2010, 04:49 PM

"IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY!"
I'd be like the bitch he treats you like/ never forget and throw those words in his face when he asks for anything
I'd have it printed on the underside of a ball cap brim and have it ready to flip in his general direction

KCUnited · 08-01-2010, 04:50 PM

Its your bros fault for your womanly expectation that you'd be "taken care of". You should choose better friends that set the expectations that its my wedding, we're getting ****ed up, and what happens after that is on you.

i think

I always thought the whole group was referred to as a 'wedding party'.

Lonewolf Ed · 08-01-2010, 04:50 PM

I know people who act like that. They're called "family."

Were you pmsing? Cuz that's what it sounds like to me. Bum a ride, take a cab whatever. And pouring drinks before the wedding, jeez.

**Bugeater** · 08-01-2010, 04:53 PM

Oh, and as far as the incident in question, he should've at least warned you that you'd need to find your own ride home, or you should've asked when you were told you'd be taken there in a limo. But details like that can easily get overlooked, all the shit the bride and groom have to deal with is pretty overwhelming. I'd have to cut the guy a break in this situation.
