Psycho friends/people in your life. Who else has 'em?

OGG

Master of the Meh
So I went to a local bar last night with a couple of buddies as we do every Monday night. The bar is owned by an Irish Immigrant who is really cool except for his disdain for Harp Lager.

He and I have joked back and forth over the years about Harp. I personally enjoy it a great deal. He calls it Budweiser.

So I take my first sip of Harp last night and it was a little "off", I can't quite say how, but it wasn't quite right. I jokingly said "Hey Jon, I think someone got Budweiser in your Harp." and smiled. :grin:

He asked if it tasted bad and I told him it seemed a little bit off the norm but not to bother as I was quite OK with it. A while later, he asked me again if it was OK and I told him it was. That was the last I heard of it... Or so I thought.

I went home at about 11:30 and went to bed. At 12:15 AM my phone goes off with a text message from one of my two "Friends" telling me I had been "86'd" from the bar. :confused: I asked him why, and according to him, I greatly offended the proprietor of the establishment with my comment. So I texted back that he couldn't be serious, as I was clearly joking as we had before and that if I had had a real problem with it, I would have asked him to replace it. I certainly would not have paid for it and given a tip on top if I were unhappy.

From that point on, I have received no less than 30 text messages from this "Friend" telling me what a fucking asshole prick I am and getting more and more psychotic with each one. I haven't responded to any of them. :facepalm:

This is the same guy who a couple years back was driving the other "friend" home from a bar about 30 miles away and at 1:30 AM on CHRISTMAS morning, pulled to the side of the hiway, told the other friend he was an ungrateful prick, punched him in the jaw and kicked him out of his car leaving him to walk the last 7 miles home, in the dark in the cold... On Christmas morning.

The funny part is, between the friend that got sucker punched and dumped and myself, we have helped this clown out of an endless series of crises over the years and we are the last two people on Earth that will come to his aid.

I try and keep him at arms length, but I've never been able to get completely away from him. He's working towards a T.R.O. right now though.

So, do any of you guys or gals know someone who is completely off the rails?
 
I have friends who are a little bit insane, self-destructive, etc., but none who've ever treated me - or anyone really close to me - like that. If they did, they wouldn't be friends, simply put.
 
The story is weird, I don't get how guys could get so worked up about something like that that.

I thought you were going to get a text at 12:45 saying "mick the owner added a shot glass full of his own piss to your Harp everytime he poured one for you."

Bizzare.
 
Sounds like the drink doesn't agree with the dude.
I assume the story about the bar owner was all bullshit?

Nope, the story is 100% true. I like the guy. As I mentioned... he and I have talked many times about his disdain for my beer of choice. However, I just got back from meeting with the other friend. He was with both parties until about 3:embarrassed:0 AM and was witness to the whole ordeal. he said the bar owner had no problem with me at all and that from here on out. The "Angry" Friend is in fact the 86'd party :grin:

While I was talking to him, the angry friend texted me with a half assed apology which I kindly told him to either choke on or stick in his ass... His choice. :grin:

I further let him know that he had crossed a line their was no coming back from.
 
he sounds like he's crazy. but then, harp DOES kinda suck..

I love Harp. I don't care what anybody says. You know, it's not the "Guinness" brewery, it's the "Harp" brewery... Which means to me that Guinness is the shit left over from making Harp. :grin:

Seriously though. The guy is unstable, and quite nuts. He's no longer welcome near me or my family.

None of this would have happened if you'd all been able to split the difference over a few black and tans.

You're right.

Let this be a lesson to the rest of you.

When you next find yourself in a situation like this, ask yourself one simple question...


What would Flamencology do?


:grin:
 
Yeah, one of my ex-best friends is nuts. Developed a bad drug/booze habit which exacerbated it, really. Some psychotric episodes, mostly drug-induced. No longer my friend.
 
yeah I know lots of em...I attract crazies like flies to a pile of crap

Worst ones? I work with two of them. One would put any emo kid to shame and the other we will find hanging from the rafters someday. I'm not a big fan of dripping manginas on a daily basis.

I also know this lady....who I graduated with and is now divorced w/ kid. I thought it would be a nice idea to reconnect with after 17 years and boy was that a bad idea. She's apeshit crazy and I found out rather quickly why she got divorced. I'm still trying to get away from that without getting shot.
 
Hmmm... Lying... yeah. That's a problem. Lying for 30 text messages in one night... that's certifiable.

I was sure that was where this story was going too...

I think you did the right thing cutting off ties to this guy; life it too short to deal with that kind of crap.

I'd also like to add Harp rocks when paired with a nice shot of Jameson 12.
