birthday rant

I'm so dissapointed in a couple of my friends. Here's my rant:

First off, I never make my birthdays a big deal. I don't make a facebook page and invite hundreds of people. I feel like somebody should be able to do whatever they want on their birthday. If you want to go to the club? fine If you want to veg out on your couch eating chips and dip? Fine. For me, I just wanted to gather some of my friends for some male bonding at hooters. Easy enough, I made reservations for hooters on wednesday for 730 pm.

First off, shout out to hooters for actually reserving my table and putting balloons up. They even had "turning 23" on the reservation card. I went their with x &x and sat down.

I had initially invited 7 people. 2 of them couldn't come because they work in snow removal.One other didn't respond. The remaining four confirmed they were going to come. Here's where the dissapointment comes.

Like I said I showed up to hooters with nick and heinrichs and we quickly ordered a pitcher and a bunch of food. Tyler told me he would be at hooters at 8pm because he had to work. Jed told me he would be there at 730.

I'll start with jed. The dude gets to hooters at like ten after 8. So he's late and doesn't even apologize. In fact he didn't really say shit short of happy birthday. After that he sat down and proceeded to inform me he "can't stay long" because he "works in the morning". Buddy your at hooters not a fucking nightclub. Nobody is expecting you to get blackout drunk. Besides how long do you think we could actually hangout at hooters for? Few hours at the very most? It's just a shitty thing to say right when you get there. You gotta leave when you gotta leave man i don't need to know your already watching your watch. Another thing, he seemed straight brain dead. Didn't have anything to say. He was like a zombie.

This might be contoversial. But it's sort of expected that if you're going out for your friends birthday..you buy them a drink/shot. If not just one but a few. Jed didn't offer me shit. At the time you know i was ok with it because heinrichs and nick seemed to have their shit together. they bought me plenty beer and nick ordered me a tequila shot. plus they paid for my food, again this is sort of expected. i mean it doesn't happen in all ocassions but you know what i mean. So jed shows up late, tells me he can't stay long, doesn't buy me a drink, and is in an apparent zombie mode.

Lets move to tyler. Basically the same story. Shows up even later then he said he would be. Again no apology. Sits down and what does he say? "I can only stay for like 40 mins" Then proceeds to try and order himself wings and "get the bill" at the same time. Hey bud, wanna order me a drink with that bill? I couldn't stand it. I told him to forget the wings because we literally had 50 wings coming. He didn't offer me a drink or shot at all. Pitiful. Tyler was a little bit more alive. I appreciated the company for sure. But you know bringing your girlfriend without clearing it with me was a little annoying. Look, you're not fucking married. Its a guys night out at hooters. Even if you were married. its a guys night out at hooters. Or else i would have invited girls and gone to a different place.

Sigh..so much ranting.

Not to take away from nick and heinrichs. They covered all my expenses. Including cab ride and everything. They made jed and tyler both look like such shitheads. That was a juxtaposition that did not work in their favour.
