If no one ever speaks up, then these idiots keep on acting childish and thoughtless.

I never let it pass when I feel someone has acted poorly. That said, I also say my peace and move on; I don't wallow in the ball of crazy.

Silence is golden. Let him figure it out. His rudeness deserves no explaination.

I agree, people should let their feelings be known, especially since the guy was so rude. There's no way I'd consider hanging out with this guy again. I could have my say and I doubt he'd change anything. Some people just aren't going to stop acting childish and thoughtless and this guy sounds like one of them. It sounded like the OP was frustrated by his response and I wish she would have lowered her expectations with him. I wouldn't have wanted to hang out with someone after the drunk/cab incident.

Ah, but it does. 99% of people will take your approach and just keep quiet. I think it is very important, no matter your part in it, to speak up.
And I do it for myself, too. Prima Donnas may not ever change, like this guy. He is likely to actually NOT figure it out on his own.
But I want to know that I stepped up and did/said all that I could so my conscious is clear. I am glad to be in that 1% if that's the case.

This morning I get up and text...."So about last night?" - He tells me that he fell asleep on couch...- I go with it and say ok..but I dont believe him... But anyway he's on the defense about everything that I asked about last night....And then I ask him about his plans for today in which his responses seem a little defensive/rude/and hostile.....I question him. - I say whats up with the rudeness and being insensitive...He responds...Look..Have a lot going on...TTYL.

My response to him was "You make it hard to remain friends and it's obvious you dont respect me or my time. Im still your friend, but i wont' be treated rudely or insensitive....."

My question is was "Was that a little bit over the top or should I have came a little stronger in the way that I feel about the situation?

Am I having deja vu, or didn't this exact same thing happen to you several months ago...?
