AITB for canceling plans, going out somewhere else the same night and getting caught
Some of my high school friends organized a reunion dinner last Saturday. We're talking people I haven't seen in 3 years at least and the vibe of that whole thing just felt off to me, might be becasue I dont like that period of time that much. The loud restaurant, the catching up on five years of life in two hours and to be frank I really don't care. I told them I wasn't feeling well and bailed around noon that day. Felt bad for about ten minutes then forgot about it. Meanwhile my current friends had put together a last minute rooftop gathering that sounded fun. I got ready and called a cab.
I was playing on my phone in the car and got dropped off a couple blocks away from the spot. Started walking and maybe 30 seconds after the car pulled off I heard someone call my name. Turned around and two of the guys from the high school dinner were standing right there. I guess the restaurant was nearby and they were on the way to go there. The silence lasted maybe two seconds but it felt longer. I said something about feeling better after resting which landed about as well as you'd think. They played the good cop bad cop with me, one was friendly and talkative the other felt disgusted to look me lol. Gotta be honest, its not that I care that much but could I have handled it better? Probably. My friends think it's hilarious tho. I don't think I did anything that terrible but the execution could've been better. So AITB?
