Ten Teachable Moments for the Weekend
Here are some points from this weekend that would probably do certain people good to remember in the future:
1. Personal responsability is a wonderful thing. It is no one elses' job to keep you from acting like a dumbass but yourself. Sure it's nice when one or more of our friends steps in to help us out, but we shouldn't rely on it and we sure as hell better not get mad and blame other people when we do something stupid because "no one stopped me." No one should have to leave their party to drag you off and beat some sense into you.
2. My house is not a pick-up bar. No, seriously, don't walk into my house with a bootle of booze and a low-cut top and expect to get up on someone before the night is over. It's not hot, it's just trashy. And saying that you don't give a damn about what the person who's throat you were violating thinks doesn't make you look cool, it makes you look a little slutty.
3. 99.9999999% of problems stemming from party drama can be solved by getting to know someone before you try sticking your tounge down their throat. That way you don't have to go around blaming other people because they didn't tell you all about the person you are slobbering all over and gropping on the couch. For further explination of this rule see #2.
4. Trying to get someone else's date to go home with you is just trashy and mean. I don't care how into each other you think the two parties are, you have no business stepping into the equation. This goes double if you are in fact the reason one party is leaving and you make the second party promise to come back and hang out with you after they drop their date off. See #2 and #3.
5. Not getting the answer you want out of one authority figure and going to pester another one while he's busy to get the answer you want is something that five year-old do, not college students. I still can't believe you pulled this shit. See also #1 and #6.
6. When I tell you to sit your ass down and chill because the party going on outside the door is not for you then do it. Don't stand and stare at the freaking door like a puppy dog waiting to go out. And I don't care who invites you to do what, it's my house and I said to sit down and chill. That is exactly what you should have done. See also #1 and #5.
7. If someone tells you that the party going on is not for you then you should probably believe them. If you really honestly and truly NEED to get drunk and get up on someone right that second then you should probably find somewhere else to be. The fact that about 20 people jumped up to see if they were blocking you in when I said you would be leaving, even temporarily should have been a clue. See also #2.
8. Tact is a skill that most people should probably learn in life to function. Example: Asking someone if they actually like thier date because you want to get up on them is not a tactful way to go about things. If someone goes on a date with someone and then brings them to a party it probably means that they like them, even just a little. It also means that you need to step off. See also #4.
9. If you can't drink and have more sense than a bag of rocks then don't drink at my house. You can make a trainwreck of yourself at your place or the bars as much as you want, but don't do it at my house. See also #1 and #2.
and finally
10. HAVE SOME FREAKING COMMON SENSE!!! Seriously, don't expect someone to be your brain for you. Don't blame other people when you screw up and don't keep harrassing the people you screwed over because you have some crazy need to not be wrong... EVER. Alcohol isn't an excuse to be stupid and neither is ignorance. No one should have to worry about what shit you are pulling at their own party. I don't understand how you can think that someone should have to take time away from their guests and their party to babysit you. See moments #1-#9 if you still somehow don't have any grasp on this concept.
