I'm sooo mad

[Deleted]

My favorite band played a show in my town. I've wanted to see them for 15 years. This was my chance! My friend came with me. I paid her ticket, her uber and her drinks. She knew how exited I was. Midway into the second song she disappears. Because she is so wasted. I couldn't leave her. So I saw four songs, took her home and am now wallowing I guess I'll never see this band. I'm so sad it's not even funny.

[MauMau]

Wtf.

This is partially because I don't drink nearly at all so I've never had to have some one take care of drunk me. It would piss me the fuck off to have to watch over someone who couldn't space and stop their consumption.

I'm am so sorry. What a bust

[bl]

I would be livid. I have gotten mighty drunk at a few concerts, but never to the point of needing to be cared for. I'm sorry, that really blows!

This was my thought at first, or sat next to me and taken a nap.

[GilliC]

That sucks!

Is this normal behavior for her or was there something going on? That seems pretty selfish/insensitive.

[Wanderista]

Is it possible that you could plan to see the band again sometime in a different city? I have traveled to a concert before and it was really fun. Maybe spend a weekend somewhere, see the concert and explore a city?

[itsalllies]

I'd ask her to reimburse me at least for her half.

Ugh that sucks! Reminds me of the time I went to a Pats game with friends. We tailgated pre-game and my one friend was drinking pretty heavily but refused to eat anything of substance (she would only eat the entire plate of bacon-wrapped scallops that she brought). We get to the game and she goes to the bathroom....and never returns. We kept calling and texting her - she did answer once but couldnt' tell us where she was. Finally in the late second half she shows up at the seats, she had puked and passed out in the bathroom. For most of the game we were all either out looking for her or worried about her. No one got to enjoy the game. She can't look at a bacon wrapped scallop to this day.

Oh, I'd be so mad! I hope she's at least very remorseful and doesn't do this kind of thing often.

[Deleted]

Thanks for justifying my anger! She's not really remorseful at all which is annoying. It's not really worth me picking a fight about this because she's not like a best friend of anything and really it won't do anything you know? I could have stayed, but I didn't really feel comfortable with her being that drunk to get home on her own and at the venue you can't leave and come back. So I wouldn't have been able to make sure she got in a cab safely. I'm pretty much over it this morning, but still miffed. At least I got to hear my favorite song?

It's not really in my budget to travel to see them, and they don't really do a ton of touring. This was their 20th anniversary concert. At least they are from my town, so hopefully another opportunity will come up!

Bonus is that I was able to get up to the very front and see the frontman super well so that was cool!

Your friend is fucked up.

Agreed. This is why I don't usually spend a ton of time with her.

I can't believe she's not apologetic! She owes you big time...

Yeah, this is me. Bye Felicia. See you when the concert is over. You are an adult, worry about yourself! I'll take care of me.

[Wanderista]

Yeah, I have to say that her lack of remorse would really piss me off. Like, I'd probably pretty much ghost on the friendship for that. I'd certainly need some time at the very least. Anyway, sorry that happened!

[redshoejune]

Only once that I can think of did I get so drunk I had to be taken care of. It was divorce related, not really a special occasion and I was mortified after and thanked my friends repeatedly for looking after me. I can't imagine not having remorse in that situation - so rude!

[alexithymia]

Put me in the "terrible friend" category. If you want to act like an asshole at the concert, you deal with yourself. I'm going to enjoy the band I paid double to see and I'll catch you later.

But, I also hate dealing with drunk strangers at concerts. Why in the world would you pay for a concert ticket and then drink so much you won't remember the show?

[MyName]

That is fucking terrible. I'd be pissed.

But I also might've just not gone looking for her when she disappeared. I'd probably send a couple of concerned texts though. lol

Ha! If we were in a different part of town maybe. I'm just an anxious person and would end up worried about her and not enjoy the concert myself. When in retrospect I'm sure it all would have been fine. At least I got to see them ain't my favorite song!

I'm so glad you got to hear your favorite song at least!    Yeah, I tend to be a worrier, but I'm also kinda selfish, so...who knows.  It'd be a crap shoot for my poor drunk friend.  lol
