WARNING: MAJOR RANT AHEAD ABOUT A PETTY CONFLICT WITH SOMEONE - MOST OF YOU WON'T WANT TO READ THIS, BECAUSE IT'S JUST ME BITCHING ABOUT SOMEONE.
I have found another disadvantage to dorm life...when you live in close quarters with people 24/7, such as you do in the dorm, the little things start to piss you off a lot more than they should. This guy that I have known for a while now and have been friends with also lives here in the dorm. We've been playing ping pong almost every night, and was supposed to again tonight. When I left his room at 9:00pm, we agreed that we would play at 11:00pm. I called him at roughly 10:00pm to find out if he wanted to play early, and he says that he is "out walking around the city." When I asked him when he would be back, he said he didn't know and refused to tell me where he was. He told me that he would "hunt me down" when he got back though.
So at this point, I went to K-Mart to buy ping pong paddles (because the ones the dorm has are shit) and ping pong balls (because the dorm has run out of them). I get back at 11:00pm and post a note on my door saying that I was downstairs in the game room waiting for him. At 11:45pm I give up and come back to my room. I call him and he says "I didn't know you were waiting downstairs!" He never apologizes for not showing up, but instead keeps saying that he "didn't know I was waiting downstairs." ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS LOOK AT MY FRIGGIN DOOR (which he should have, had he hunted me down like he said he was going to).
It turns out that there was a freshman girl in his room and he was helping her with her homework. I would normally be okay with this, but he didn't even have the decency to find me to tell me that he was going to skip ping pong. Add this to the fact that he has been trying to get laid by almost every female walking around the building (of which several have come to me and complained about him - knowing that he and I were friends), and it really pisses me off.
I probably shouldn't be posting this because I'm sure he will read it, but I really don't give a damn anymore. A true friend would have the decency to tell me he was going to blow me off to try to get laid. He didn't even bother to do that. If he actually apologizes to me, then we'll be cool again, but until then, I have no interest in associating with him.
