I'm really mad, kind of sad, but really, not very surprised about recent events happening to me.
It's not like a big deal, really, but I have 2 friends that I email with daily and we have gone to see all of the Harry Potter movies, since the 3rd one, together. We made plans to see the first part of the 7th movie that opens up next Friday.
Well, one of my friends got a coworker of hers to read the books and now she's coming with us to see the movie. Fine, whatever.
But now, because she lives in Chicago (and they both work in Chicago) and we all live in the burbs, SHE'S dictating not only where we see the movie but when.
We had decided on a theater and we had decided on an 8 p.m. show. I looked up advanced tickets for that theater and discovered that they only have a 6:40 and a 10. Now, I'm okay with the 10 p.m. show, because I'm a night owl, but I asked them what they wanted to do. One replied that we could see the 10 p.m. show and that she'd just nap beforehand.
The other one (the one with the coworker) replied with, let's look at other theaters and times. Well, all of the theaters around where she lives suck.
Long story short, I voiced my opinion about the movie theaters, but said I would go. She replied with: We really don't have to go together if you want to go somewhere else. Don't feel like you have to go with us.
So, in fell swoop, she made ME out to be the bad guy and I know that her loyalties clearly don't lie with me. The 3 of us have been friends for 10+ years, but because I don't want to go to a theater attached to a mall with crappy parking, that makes me the bad guy.
Whatever. Anyway, I'm tempted to reply with: well, by all means, why don't we just all drive into Chicago and see the movie there so we don't inconvenience your coworker at all.

Fine, you want to make me the unreasonable bitch, fine, I'll wear the badge proudly. Enjoy the movie. Oh and fuck you.
