Sign in to disble this ad
Myself, my drummer and singer went together to see iron maiden. The guitard decides hes going to maiden with a friend of his not us. So we go to maiden and were in the 112 section. guitard is on the floor with his friend. We never seen eachother only a few texts before the concert. After the concert we get in my singers suv and start driving home. about half way home my drummer gets a text from the guitard "were are you guys" so we reply i75. He replies back "ohh i was gonna go home with you guys" so we reply well we are about 20 miles away already. hes like "thats ok i will go with Eddie" well about 15 minutes later he texts again "I guess im taking a cab" to which my singer is like i guess so cause im not driving back. well 2am my drummer texts me that the guitard says hes done with the band because he is sick of people who only care about themselves  anyways looks like im gonna be auditioning a few guitards this week. thought i would share

Seems like a lot if he wanted you to turn around and go get him, he's just being childish because when he did the whole "Well Eddie will give me a ride" thing, he again for a second time created an expectation that AGAIN backfired on him.
The key here is he needs to know he can ask but he can't tell others what favors to do for him.
Move along and if he wants back in let him come hat in hand and then explain all this to him.

And a lot of other words that get people banned from TB. Let him walk, he probably would have over something just as trivial down the line. Good luck finding someone who isn't a tool!

And a hearty second to the semi-comprehensibility of the OP.
"Use a comma to separate elements in a series. Although there is no set rule that requires a comma before the last item in a series, it seems to be a general academic convention to include it." http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/566/01/

Your recounting of the events sounds like the guitard needs 'mind readers' to support his habits. Meh...
