Friend had a go at me over a can of Diet Coke

[coldayscientist]

Last Saturday friend had a few people around, she lives in the country so taxi/uber is impossible so all those drinking stayed over.

In the morning there was still some stuff out from the night before, including cans of Diet Coke, I opened one and had a sip, put it down not really thinking and said my goodbyes, my friend said “aren’t you taking that with you?” I responded “no I’m good thanks” and she retorted “what I’m absolute waste” - awkward silence, I grabbed the can, mumbled sorry and left.

Shes now messaged me to apologised. I’m just so annoyed that she spoke to me like a child.

Well you opened a can of drink you had not intention of actually drinking because you wanted “a sip”. It is a waste isn’t it?

Totally agree with her

Yabu and casual about your friend's house and stuff

Behave like a child then expect to be spoken to as though you are one.
My 7 year old knows better than to be so wasteful

Yep.

You were thoughtless and wasteful. Maybe you need to be spoken to more often about your behaviour!

It was really wasteful, just leaving her with a coke you’d taken a sip out of ? She spoke to you like a child because it’s the sort of thing a kid would do.

She did apologize so don't let it bother you any more! It was only a can of coke!

You behaved like a child... a pretty rude, ignorant child at that.

Taking a new can, opening it, having a sip and then just dumping it on the table and going to leave...

Rude as fuck. I'd have been a lot sharper!

Why did you do that? Genuine question

Posting for the deletion message as there is no way this isn't a reverse (which isn't allowed btw).

Why did you apologise to your thoughtless friend? And more to the point, did she use a coaster? 😬

Don’t you have common manners? Why did you put the can back down expecting someone else to clean up after you? That’s actually very rude

@Normalwahatisnormal

why would she want to when the OP has already slobbered over the can AND not many people want warm Diet Coke first thing in the morning.

@coldayscientist

why not just have some water? You were wasteful & rude.

I wouldn't have expressed it quite like your friend did, but I agree with her. And I wouldn't have apologised. Terrible waste. And very lazy to just leave it lying at her arse.

Agree

Sounds like something a child would do she spoke to you correctly!

Sorry *your arse, not hers. But then this reads like a reverse.

Oh no not someone else's mouth 😧

You were in the wrong, but your friend values your friendship so she apologised as it's not worth falling out over. After you begrudgingly took the can, did you finish it, or chuck it?

Were you both still hanging from the night before?

Only wanting a bit is fine but maybe asking if anyone wanted to share one would have been better than just wasting it.

I am afraid your friend is right and you are feeling salty that she put you in your place in front of other people. Good for her. Perhaps she spoke to you like a child because you were behaving like one, its the sort of thing I would expect a young thoughtless teenager to do not a grown adult.

Come that’s something a child would do.

You are in her home. You open a drink. Sip it. Put it down and go to leave?

So not only wasting it but just leaving it in the side for her to pour done the sink and bin?

and you are upset that she snapped at you? You were really rude.

Though I suspect this is quite true is it. A reverse?

This is why I buy bottles of drink instead of cans. Op your friend thought you was a CF opening a can that someone else could have drank. You mumbled sorry do you normally act like a child?

I'd be annoyed too. Opening a can for a sip?!

Neither were totally wrong. But I wouldn't open a coke and take one sip and just leave it on the side. As no-one else can drink it so it's just going to be binned.
If I had my fill I'd pour it away and put the can in recycling. But I wouldn't snap at someone over it.

She apologised, you were both probably hung over and a bit fragile at that moment.

My solution, get full sugar coke instead. It's much tastier so less likely to be wasted. After a night on the sauce you need real sugar! 😂

After someone else had drunk from the can? In any case it might have gone flat before anyone wanted it. It was a pointless waste.

You were prepared to waste a whole can of Coke just for one sip? And leave it for her to clear up? Yep that is dick behaviour. Good for her for calling it out. I’ll be surprised if you’re invited back.
