It was a friend's birthday at the weekend and I was planning on giving her tickets to a concert as a present.
Went to her party on Saturday night and decided to drive, rather than drink and stay over (only invited me to stay on the Thursday night, so 2 days before and clearly I was bottom of the invite list for accommodation or she would have mentioned this before).
There is a bit of a back story in that she has done a few things to annoy me in the last few months: was coming to stay the night at mine after an event and while I went out to grab some food (for her) she rocked up at my house and drove into my (single) allocated parking spot meaning I had to park on the road, tried to get me to pay more money to her than I actually owed after a trip away, asked me to house sit for a night while she attended a wedding and when I realised I couldn't do it I sent her a message to let her know. She never read the message (WhatsApp so I have no doubt it was read from notifications and she didn't like what I was saying) and when she was leaving my house with her parent, "double checked" I was still able to do it...obviously to make me look flakey in front of the parent because she knew I wasn't able to help out. I was travelling 300 miles the day after she wanted me to house sit (and look after a flock of lambing sheep so at the least I would have had to get up every few hours to check them).
Anyway, it came to me leaving the party after 7 hours and about to complete my 100 mile round trip to attend said party, and she was very dramatic, asking if there was something going on in my life, if there was something wrong that meant I couldn't drink and have a good time, wtf...i just didn't fancy drinking but still made the effort to turn up and spent over £100 on a gift for her (she didn't even send me a card for my birthday a few months ago...we have both turned 30 this year). So the crux of this is, would I be unreasonable to use the tickets myself considering she was so bloody ungrateful!?
