was it my fault or my friend's?

[jingramm]

Early this week my friend text messaged me asking if he can park his car at my place and if I can drop him off at the bus stop that is about 45 minutes away. So I texted him back saying, "I can drop you off at the metro right? because I did the same and it's only one block away after you get off xx stop." He didn't respond so I figured he understood.

Today comes around and he calls saying he is on the way to my house and I was all ready to drop him off at the metro stop. He asks if I can drop him off at the bus stop so I ask why I can't drop him at the metro. I was not planning to drive 45 minutes in rush hour traffic to the bus stop and come all the way back and then to repeat it again a few days later when he returns. I also had somewhere to be so I had to cancel out of that if I drove him all the way to the bus stop. He hangs up on me all angry and I'm left wondering if it was my fault. I think there was a miscommunication but I'm not a cab driver or anything. I used the metro system to get to the bus stop without anyone's help

I'd just kick him in the nuts next time.

Some people are afraid of the metrosexuals.

Solution to problem:
Stop being friends w/ high-maintenance pussies.

This person is using you, and is clearly not worthy of the title "friend". What I would advise you to do is to stop calling him and move on. You see, jingramm, people who treat you like this so-called friend treats you are manipulative bastards who are not worth your time. As a thinking man, this is clear to me. Your friend and his manipulative behavior is transparent to my eyes, and now, all I ask is that you open yours to the truths that I have uncovered for you in this post. It's time for you to take hold of your life. Everyone knows this.

You guys must be great friends if you text each other once a week and never actually speak to each other.

Yes, sometimes an actual conversation will work better than texting.

For sure.

I used to work with a guy that sounds like the OP's friend. He used to ask me for rides, out of the blue. I always flat out said no. I hate people like that!

Now, whenever I hear from him, I just don't respond/disregard, etc.

When your friends abuse you, you need to take a hard stand. Otherwise they will not only walk on you but also blame you and make you feel guilty.
Nut up. ASAP.

When your friends abuse you, you need to maintain a stance of dominance. Otherwise they will not only walk on you but also blame you and make you feel guilty.
Nut up. ASAP.
