Fuming

[bob parkhurst]

One of our group has just text me to ask if were still traveling down on the Weds and coming home on the Sunday as he needs to book his holidays and he has a course on the Monday after Glasto. I’ve told him umpteen times that we go down on the Tuesday and come back Monday.

I’m pretty livid as this person couldn’t organise a p1ss up in a brewery. I’ve had to organise his ticket, his hotel for the Tuesday night before, he got banned from driving at the end of last year so has fkd up the plans we had for 2 cars as there aren’t enough people to drive. He’s been told a million times what the plan is about getting down and told to get his holidays in and still hasn’t got his finger out and sorted himself out. He doesn’t have a tent, wellies or anything else. He’s a pain in the rear when drunk and has to be constantly looked after

He did have a very traumatic experience 2 years ago (his girlfriend died) and this has effected him really badly and I always feel bad when I feel myself getting annoyed with him but I don’t want to have to feel like I’m looking after him all the time. Glastonbury is time for my enjoyment not to look babysit someone for 6 days.

Am I being unreasonable??

Tell him to organise his own transport and you'll meet him there.

It seems you bend over backwards enough for this chap, so no, you're not being unreasonable at all. Just explain to him that he'll have to sort out other arrangements if it doesn't fit in with everyone elses plans. I'm sure i would!

Tell him to get own there and met up with you. If he can't sort it out thats his problem. Maybe if people stopped sorting his shit out for him he might start sorting it out for himself.

I agree with the others. My friends are very laid back and I have had to compromise with my control freak-y-ness so as not to make life a route march!

But, there is laid back and there is slack as. I'd advise your friend to make his own plans to get there and back. Beware if he's anything like a friend of mine that you get the hotel money. I lost £50 last year because someone didn't book the time off work and sort his crap out for the IOW. Didn't see it as his fault so didn't pay.

[psychology]

Yes, it's not too late for him to sort out a train journey (in fact he can just buy a ticket on the day).

You can be nice to him by taking his tent and putting it up.

[bob parkhurst]

Cheers chaps, I dont feel such a nasty pastie when I get annoyed with him

He's just text me to say he's got a roof box and rack for the car for £140 so I suppose he's kind of made up for it a bit

[___S_o_m_a__]

Yeah the guy's a psycho nightmare, but it's true, he's a mate as well, so what can you do?

thanks.

Haha, this guy is about 37, a little bit older. Plus I cant see your daughter getting wasted on Brothers on the first day and having to be taken back to the tent and looked after
