To not let this person drive my car.

Will be quick as need quick answers please.

We are away camping. My dc, me and a friend. The friend is in their 30's, they had their licence removed for drink driving years ago and even though that is spent they've never renewed it. So no license, no insurance. I went for a shower, it's about a km away. When I got back the friend asked to take my car to the showers. I said no but would give them a lift. They got into a temper, said its private land (it is) so they are therefore allowed to drive on here. I still said no but again offered a lift.

They stormed off making a crack about the shower gel I had borrowed off them earlier Confused. When they returned they wouldn't look at or speak to me properly. I said if this continued I would pack up and go home as i know of old how long they can keep up a sulk. They was a short argument and then they took their stuff and left. So now I am on my own with two DC with ASD, who want to stay.

I've called and tried to make peace but they won't answer and won't reply to my messages.

So what'd the consensus please?

It fucking well will be mentioned, you acted like a knobhead. The offer of help will be accepted if accompanied by an apology. If not fuck off.

Sounds like an immature dick, I'd stop contact and if asked why be honest then tell them to duck off. You don't need the hassle of childish men with two kids...

Sparklysilversequins · 06/07/2013 17:45

I told him to stop rewriting what happened and not to come back as fine without him. Have had a few more since then saying he needs to leave by 7 if he is to get here at a reasonable time. I said No thank you to all.

Well done Sparkly!!

He only wants to return because hes no way to get home.

GilmoursPillow · 06/07/2013 17:53

Or he's realised he's fucked up.

Either way, well done for blowing him off. Enjoy your camping.

caramelwaffle · 06/07/2013 17:56

Well done.

Enjoy the rest of your trip.

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow · 06/07/2013 17:56

woohoo, Go Sparkly!

NinaHeart · 06/07/2013 17:57

Well done Sparkly on all counts. Please don't let this manchild succeed in manipulating you into anything. He's not a bargain.

Sallyingforth · 06/07/2013 17:57

Well done Sparkly.
I'd call this a successful holiday. You're having a good time with your DC and as a bonus you've got rid of the lazy hanger-on.

Don't let him crawl back, or this will only happen again.

SquinkiesRule · 06/07/2013 18:06

Well done Sparkly, love your replies.

hermioneweasley · 06/07/2013 18:29

Well done Sparkly!

helenthemadex · 06/07/2013 18:37

YWNBU he was totally in the wrong and he knows it, good for you telling him not to come back enjoy your camping I do it with my 3 girls its great fun

Sparklysilversequins · 06/07/2013 19:39

Well we are still here. I have to say I am not looking forward to when it gets completely dark but if I can get lost by a lake teeming with Alligators in Florida and have to use the GPS on my phone to find my way back then I can do this! (That really happened by the way and it was very scary!)

If you can survive that, you are braver than me. Have a nice quiet night.

GetStuffezd · 06/07/2013 20:18

God, there's something hugely punchable about that "you behaved appallingly today" comment. It speaks volumes about how he views you - like some misbehaving, insubordinate animal!
Glad you've decided to stay, hope you all have a great, dickheadless time.

I'd take alligators, bears and tigers over a childish cunt.

I'm glad it's not spoiled your day with the kids too much.

Sweet dreams x

ChasedByBees · 06/07/2013 20:31

Brilliant - so glad you told him where to go!

ShaggingZumbaStylee · 06/07/2013 20:35

well done

Bejeena · 06/07/2013 21:43

Xales i am alsogobsmacked that anyone would DRIVE 1km

DoubleLifeIsALifeHalved · 06/07/2013 22:07

Wow what an arse! Well done you for not giving in to his weirdo rewriting of events today and please please stick to your guns, the man sounds awful and would bring so much negative to your life...

Lots of luck for getting through the night, you'll be ok, it's just you weren't prepared for it so haven't sort of got your head in the right state... Try and psyche yourself up and once you do it you'll realise it's fine and you can do it just fine!

EmpressOfTheSevenOceans · 07/07/2013 10:14

Cheering you on, Sparkly. How was your night without the wankbadger?
