Yesterday my friend and I were playing a video game of mine at his place. When it was time for me to leave I was going to take it with me but he was insistent that I leave it for him to play overnight. I didn’t want to do this but we ended up making a deal that he would get me food at his job tomorrow when I pick him up (he works at a local deli). I agreed and left.

The next day I delayed lunch because I was anticipating picking him up and he would get me food. I texted him what sandwich I would like him to get me and he responds “Shit man I already got a ride” which pissed me off. This was probably an overreaction on my part but (after sending him an angry text) I went to his house, told his mom that I needed a game back that I let him borrow, took it and left. 

I thought he was intentionally screwing me over but he later said that he forgot and I was overreacting. He said he took 2 Xanax bars and drank some alcohol the night before and that made him forget. This led to an intense argument between us with him saying I shouldn’t have been so angry and he sent that initial text (about getting another ride) when he was in the middle of work. He was also insistent that I should have reminded him. My main argument is that taking Xanax/alcohol is not an excuse and he should have made a point to remember especially after I sent the text about what food I want. I don’t think I should have to remind him to hold up his end of the deal. I wished I could have not let him borrow it but it’s too late for that.

Am I the asshole?
