Is my friend a douchebag?

[jokerthief]

Very much so. This isn't something a friend would ask.

So I ask OOT, is my friend a douchebag?

No, but his is.

Just curious, why do you think this? This situation bothers me because we are good friends, so I want to make sure I'm not being a douche myself.

Also, the CD change was clearly his idea.

this doesn't even make sense

your friend is a douche bag.

i'd pay him, but would probably not be his friend after this. to me it's worth the $250 so that he would never have that over your head, and i'd also stress that he basically lost a friend over a lousy $250, so i hope it was worth it.

it's retarded that he'd lose a friend over something that's so stupid and obviously his fault for being such an ass licking retard.

two weeks ago when I was drinking with friends the volunteer designated driver got a ticket for speeding, was something like 200. We all tried to chip in and give him money but he refused to take any. In summary my friends are awesome, and your friend is a big pile of horse feces.

Now that's just not nice! Funny as hell, though. nh

If money was never a problem to you, and you were such wonderful friends for lo, these many years, why didn't you have a teensy conscience pang after you left him and offer, before being asked to chip in? Maybe you two aren't the bosom buds you've been thinking.

BTW, how come your wife didn't take you? Then you'd be pissed at her. And think of the wonderful "make-up sex" you could be having right now instead of posting this?

Wife was home with the kids (plus she was a little pissed I was leaving her with the kids for the weekend to go to a bachelor party).

I really did feel bad for him (and still do) so that's the reason for the post. If I didnt feel guilty at all, I wouldnt have posted. At the time, I didnt think it was my responsibility to pay for damages since it was his mistake that caused the incident, so I never though to offer, nor would I have asked him if the roles were reversed.

Before I left on my trip, my friend offered me a ride to the airport (and to pick me up when I get back) in exchange for me taking him (and picking him up) when he heads out of town in two weeks.

This strikes me as strange. Doesn't sound like you're that great of friends.

We live about 45 minutes from the airport, so its not a short little drive. I typically would just park at the airport, but the thought of paying $8 a day in parking seemed like a waste to both of us (his trip was for two weeks and mine was for the weekend, so he would have made out better by not paying for parking were it not for the $500 deductible).

I should have offered ,my reasoning and not have been so quick to judge you. I would have offered to help with any expenses before I left to catch my plane. After reading your post again I see you were in quite a hurry so no you aren't a douchebag. However after having time to think about it you should have called him after your arrival and made the offer of financial assistance, particularly since it seems you can easily afford the $250.

Do you think he would offer you $250 if the situations were reversed?
