Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : A little bit of back story: I am a broke college student who decided to take a job dog watching over break to make some extra cash. The dates of the dog sitting happened to include that of new years eve. All my friends and I had previously discussed of having a get together in the town over where most of us attend college, about an hour away from where I was dog sitting. These dogs are on a strict schedule of up by 6am to feed, and if they are not fed around that time, they get "barky" and annoying, so I try to follow the schedule pretty closely. I was pretty disappointed because it didn't sound like I was going to make it. However, friend A, really wanted us to be there (Us being me and my girlfriend who were both dog sitting), offering to drive us down at 530, just after we put up the dogs for the night, and then back before 6am the next morning so we can feed them, recognizing that we have responsibility to these dogs. Of course we agree, if he's willing to do all the leg work of driving down and back, we would love to go, so the plan stands, as of the Sunday the 30th, that we will drive down and back all before the dogs need attention. 

Wake up the morning of the 31st, low and behold, light dusting of snow and temperatures that aren't going to break the 10's, causing me to be wary. The weather continues on for most of the day, I decide to invite friend A over for lunch to discuss the plan, because I am cautious of going when the roads are going to be bad, weather advisories have already been called for some of the surrounding highways, and the temperatures are going to be deadly low. He comes over and I soon mention that I dont think it makes sense to go tonight, due to mainly the road conditions and our responsibility to the dogs. Mind you, the roads were indeed slick, I had just been to the grocery store and had experienced icy patches already. He immediately gets irate, saying that we always seem to have an excuse, demanding a rational for why we didn't want to go beyond just not feeling comfortable being in a car at these conditions. He kept saying that he got new snow tires and it would be fine, to which I responded saying Ice doesn't give a shit if you have new snow tires. He then followed up with saying "Your decision not to come really says something about where your priorities are at" and "This may be the last time we see all of our friends in one place" which most certainly isn't true (Everyone is in town till at the latest, the 12th). His arguments seemed to revolve heavily around guilt-tripping and a peer pressuring tactic, mentioning how everyone will be pissed with us if we bail. Our overarching reason for not wanting to go was not wanting to be on the roads when the conditions are shitty and our driver will be tired, however, we were the assholes for bailing on them because of our previous responsibilities. While we may of talked about throwing a party for new years eve, I was unaware of what the dog sitting would entail nor what the road conditions would be, yet he took it very personally, like we didn't want to hang out with him of the rest of our friends, when we tried to make it as clear as possible that it had everything to do with us being responsible for these dogs but more importantly not wanting to be on the unnecessarily. Does this make me the asshole?
