Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : We're a group of friends from high school, now in college. Every now and then we hike up a local hill as a meetup. One of the friends, let's call him "James" has a penchant for luxury goods like watches, clothes, etc. This will tie in to the story later.

I organized for us to meet again last saturday. James was hesitant at first because it had rained the previous day. I thought he was just trying to dodge so I called him a pussy for being afraid of the rain. After some heckling, he agreed to go with us.

The hike was great, we had drinks at the top and proceeded to return down. When we got to our cars he completely flipped out about how his 200$ shoes are destroyed because of the mud. I told him that he should have worn something else, but all our other friends agreed with him in saying it's my fault. We have not spoken since.

I feel kinda bad because I heckeled him into coming with us. Is it really my fault for destroying his expensive shoes? AITA?
