There are a few guys I have been friends with since highschool, and I hangout with them and other folks from highschool during college breaks and things like that.
One thing that occurs with me is that I tend to be the runt in social situations. I am easy to make fun of, and sometimes its okay, but other times it turns into disrespect.
Anyways, last night i ended up driving an hour so i could hang out with them. Arriving in the city and finding them was a pain in the butt, because when I called my friend Dan on the phone he was in the bar and i couldnt hear crap what he was saying, and so he was getting all pissed off and he said "find it" and hung up on me. (when I didnt know where he was talking about) well 20 minutes later i find the place (when it could have taken 2 minutes had he stepped out of the bar so i could actually hear what he was saying)
Later, when we are leaving I am driving them back, and Charles decides he wants to drive my car and tries to push me into the back seat when i am in there and clearing stuff out. when i am uncoordinated and dont fight back very well so finally i get out of the backseat and he gets in and sits down. When i am putting stuff in the trunk, he crawls through my car, stepping his shoes on my leather seats so he can get up into the drivers seat. (my leather is already weak in some spots and may tear soon.)
He gets up there and im pissed when i realized what happened. I ask him to get out and go in the back, and he doesnt. he just sits there like an idiot. Then I tell him fine, I'm not driving them back until he moves. He sits there for about a minute, and i walk away for awhile in the parking lot to think.
I come back and tell Charles he has to walk home for being a moron and that he cant ride in my car again after what he just pulled.
Then Dan gets pissed and says "you cant do that, you're being a moron, fine, I'll walk to my car and drive us home and you can drive home too." and then they all were like go home kid, and started walking the other way. (keep in mind i drove an hour just to see these guys, and now they want me to go home when ive only been up there for about an hour) so needless to say I thought this was stupid. Plus Dan was drunk and probably not in good condition to drive these guys back.
So 3 of them start walking away and my one loyal friend from highschool, Derrick says
"well, so do you know how to get to Dan's house, maybe you can still come hang out, or are you going home?"
And well so i was talking to derrick for awhile, and finally they called Derrick and asked what was up, and i told derrick to tell them if charles apologized id come back and drive them. And they took me up on that offer. and then we hung out the rest of the time, and i was still pissed and it seemed awkward.
But then later that night these guys kept offering me beer for free.
I dont know what to make of it. I just wish that I wasnt the runt of social situations, then these types of problems would never happen. but there is something about my personality that just makes me the runt in every social situation im in.
