Weird end to a friendship

[RockSP]

So last night a friend wanted to go see the movie Get Out. I'm not a big horror guy but I was like screw it, why not. The movie started at 10:30 pm (EST) and we got home at almost 1:00 am. Or I did, anyway. Dude wanted to sit through the credits for a possible stinger, but I'm the one who drove and I told him I'm not doing it...this ain't a marvel movie. He proceeds to swing his legs out of the way for me to get past him. I ask him if he's going to walk home, because again...I'm not staying.

Him: Fair enough.

Me: Ooookaaaay...

Hope that pointless couple of miles walk home in the cold was worth it...

He must've thought I was joking because a few minutes after I get home I get a text saying "Hey where are you?" LOL! Maybe someone gave him a ride. This morning I see he's unfriended me on facebook. Maybe he's temporarily pissed or maybe he's willing to throw 20 something years of friendship away over some movie credits.

Okay, your turn. Weird friendship ending stories...go!

You do realize that whole mess could have been easily avoided by one of you pulling out your phone and googling "Is there an after credits scene in Get Out?", which you would find that there isn't.

 

[Fallen Angel]

The first mistake is presuming every movie has an after credit scene. It's not the norm of a movie.

 

[Guts]

I was surprised some people actually stayed during the credits of Logan.

Heh, well the "one of you" would've had to be him. I told him I wasn't staying. If your ride isn't staying...time to get up.

We both know that. He inexplicably wanted to stay on the off chance that there was one.

Google is your friend. I knew there was no end credits scene after Logan because I actually took the 30 seconds required to look up "end credits scene to Logan?" Obviously you can subsitute Logan for any movie and get an answer in no time.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Soooo, you've been friends for 20 years but you are unable to sit for a couple of extra minutes just to humor him? I mean I don't know how close you actually were but it seems odd to me.

It's not that surprising considering most of the X-Men films have had post credits scenes. The trick with Logan was that it happened before the movie even started with the Deadpool trailer.

Okay.

It's odd to me that after being told multiple times I'm not sticking around that he'd rather walk in the cold instead of "humoring" me by getting in the car. After 20-something years he knows me well enough to know I mean what I say. At least I assumed he did. I guess he does now.

I'll share a pretty funny/sad one from my drinking days. For the last several years of drinking not only would I blackout most nights but then when I would fall asleep I sometimes would be too drunk to wake up and use the bathroom.

So one night I woke up at my buddies place who had several roommates and realized that I pissed my pants on their couch. I threw my jeans in the dryer at 4 something in the morning. Passed back out seeing as how I was still too drunk to care.

The next morning, one of his roommates went to sit down right where I was sleeping and asked why the couch was wet. My dumbass just said "I dunno", one of the other roommates asked why I was running the dryer at 4 am, I still denied anything had happened because that's what any good alcoholic does when caught in a lie.

Needles to say, after that they didn't invite me over too much.

I don't blame him for being mad at you. First and foremost, if he was being stubborn about leaving you could have googled it and shown him there wasn't any post credit scene. Since you didn't decide to do it, was it really worth leaving your friend of 20 years to walk home that late just to prove a point? If you've really been friends with him that long, getting home 10-20 minutes later really isn't a big difference. If it was, maybe don't go see a movie that late in the first place.

Heh, heh. He could've googled it, since he was the one who wanted to stay for a stinger that didn't exist. It didn't even occur to me to google it, since I've never done that. I was all but sure there wasn't one. It never crossed my mind there would be one. I was getting up to leave when he said that nonsense about sitting through the credits.

Seems to me he was the one trying to prove a point...or a 'pointless' as the case may be. All I did was what I said I was going to do. Also the time of the movie doesn't mean anything. I mentioned it to illustrate how silly it was of him to choose to walk home that late for no reason.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

How does sitting there for five more minutes hurt you? You chose to leave. You didn't have to. That is a rather messed up thing to do.

 

[Wildcard]

Personally, I think you're both being very silly about this. Both of you are technically in the wrong...one for expecting every movie to have an after-credits scene (c'mon) and you for actually leaving instead of letting it ride.

Believe me, though, there are far weirder ways for a friendship to end. And I don't think this is necessarily the end, more like a childish incident you'll hopefully laugh about over. If not, were you two ever really friends in the first place?

Okay.

I don't understand why you couldn't just wait a few extra minutes for your friend. But anyway. You expected him to budge, and he expected you to do the same. Didn't happen. Maybe you two don't know each other as well as you thought, even after 20 years.

Spin it anyway you want to but you still come off as a lousy friend in the situation. Yeah, you both could have googled it but neither of you were wise enough to do that. You gave him a ride there, he's your friend for a long time, you just don't ditch him like that. Simple as that. When you get off your high horse, you should apologize to him.

Who said anything about it hurting me? I didn't want to do it and I was the one who drove. If he drove I would've had to sit there (unless I would've thought to google it). If you think it's messed up...okay. His choice is on him, not me. Just like he's apparently chosen to end our friendship over it. That is his choice.

Believe me, though, there are far weirder ways for a friendship to end. And I don't think this is necessarily the end, more like a childish incident you'll hopefully laugh about over. If not, were you two ever really friends in the first place?

Anything's possible. I'm not the one that's angry about it. Apparently he is.

No need for me to spin anything. Just stating facts. When your ride tells you he's leaving, if you want to ride with that person you leave as well...simple as that. Definitely not apologizing for leaving when I said I was.

I wasn't aware that that movie had 35 minutes of credits. I don't blame you for not sitting through 35 minutes of credits if you don't want to......because 35 minutes of credits are just damn ridiculous.

 

[Greens]

So instead of getting home at 1:05 you got home at 1. I hope it was worth it.

I wasn't aware that leaving when your ride is leaving was so difficult. Because that after credits scene (that didn't exist) apparently held the cure for cancer.

 

[Flint Marko]

So you responded to him being mildly inconsiderate and selfish by being wildly inconsiderate and selfish.

Same thing I said...about him choosing to walk home.

I wasn't aware that waiting a few minutes for your friend of 20 years to check out the end of a movie was so difficult.

Because waiting for that after credits scene (that didn't exist) apparently would cause you to get cancer.
