kizik Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 So, my guitarist buddy and his girlfriend came over last night. He was sober, she was really drunk. It bothered me. Don't show up drunk at my apartment. Sure, we can get drunk together, which is a totally different thing... but when the first words out of your mouth are slurred? Just go home. Don't annoy me, just leave me alone. So I called her out on it this morning (they crashed over) and now the guy is sending me angry text messages, calling me judgmental or something. I don't really give a sh*t - I haven't known them that long, and now they're showing their true colors. Did I overreact? Would you all be offended if someone came over to your place totally trashed?
motive2002 Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I don't think so.. I guess it depends on the delivery... maybe. So you asked your friend not to bring over his girlfriend if she's all drunk? Doesn't sound like it's that unreasonable a request to me.
Author kizik Posted June 1, 2009 Author Posted June 1, 2009 Motive, what's up, dude? You digging this heat? Actually I didn't know she was drunk until they showed up. Does that somehow make my annoyance "less reasonable"?
Enema Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I wouldn't be offended if someone came over totally trashed... unless they were breaking things or upsetting the neighbours. If I didn't want that sort of thing, I'd tell them for next time... but certainly wouldn't get bent out of shape about it like you seemed to.
motive2002 Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Like I said the delivery. If you got into a screaming match about it, I can see where the friend is sending texts. No I am not digging this heat at all.

Not bent out of shape, but it did annoy me, and yeah I told her... Like I said the delivery. If you got into a screaming match about it, I can see where the friend is sending texts. No screaming matches. I did say this morning, "Don't come over here drunk again."
motive2002 Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I think that's fine. It's your place, right? I wouldn't want my friend bringing over someone that was in a drunken stupor. I don't like the idea of cleaning up someone else's barf should the behavior continue unchecked.
Author kizik Posted June 1, 2009 Author Posted June 1, 2009 I guess I should clarify that it wasn't like she was so drunk, she was gonna puke everywhere. But she was drunk to the point of being aggressive, disrespectful and hostile. And yeah, it's my place. These kids are a couple years younger than me, which isn't much in your 40s or 50s in regards to development, but I gotta tell ya at least from personal experience, the difference between 23 and 25 can be huuuge. So what I'm saying is that I think these kids have a few things to figure out in regards to acceptable social conduct.
