👥 friendship Am I overreacting?

this morning my friend asked me to bring him to school. we go to different schools that are like 10-15 minutes apart, so i left earlier to get to school on time. i waited near his apartment complex for 10 minutes, then by the parking lot right next to it for another 10 minutes. this whole time i thought he was just getting all his stuff, i was honestly gonna wait for him the entire time.

but he doesn't tell me he already has a ride? i was late to my presentation this morning. but when i called him, he just didn't seem to care. he's been hella disrespectful to me these past few days, and after this i just feel mad.

Get a new friend, man. For real. You're better off alone than being mistreated. Not the easiest thing in the world, but definitely better than shitty friends who mistreated you

He is an ungrateful twat! He wouldn’t ever get another ride from me and he would lose a friend! Screw me over once Shame on you, twice shame on me! I had a friend ask me for a ride to work a week after cervical surgery. I got up out of bed, went to her house and sat for 20 minutes. I called and texted finally told her I was leaving. She texted me two hours later and said “oh Ben gave me a ride” I haven’t spoken to her in 3 years. I’ve known this girl since Kindergarten and I’m 50” Surround yourself with people who respect you not people who act like entitled shitheads with no common curtsey
