Phee-roo!

So, this Saturday, me and Kelsey were in town for to help her mom over the weekend since she had surgery on Friday. As it happened, it was Halloween weekend and I decided to hit up some parties, one of them being a party at Saif and Eric’s house. And after being there for 2 hours, Saif kicked us out because “Kelsey used the upstairs bathroom” which is sad, because despite the fact that I don’t talk to Saif anymore, Kelsey never did anything to him, in fact, she helped him out multiple times with his OKGamers initiative without requiring anything in return, and she’s not even into video games…

Also realize that there have been parties at this house for god knows how long, and when someone is in the downstairs bathroom for 20+ minutes, it’s pretty much known to go to the upstairs bathroom… it’s not in anyone’s room, it’s in the hall, you go up stairs, go left at the top and the bathroom is on the left, nothing fancy. So it’s a really slap in the face that Saif would kick someone out over that, that had never done anything to him and had in fact helped him in the past.

Now, Saif doesn’t like me, lots of people know that… although he has no reason to have a problem with me. All I’ve ever done to Saif was stop talking to him. I haven’t said anything bad about him to anyone, betrayed anything he ever told me or anything like that. I just got fed up with how he treated me as a friend one day, and stopped talking to him. And that was the end of it. No drama, nothing fancy, just stopped talking to him.

However, now, for the first time ever, duh duh duh, I will reveal the details as to why I stopped talking to Saif. One night, me, Jason, and Saif were chilling on the couch watching nothing on TV. We start talking about snacks and drinks. Jason points out right off the bat that he isn’t going to drive. Saif wants Bueno, but he can’t drive because his car is broken. I want QT. So we’re at 31st and Yale. At 31st and Sheridan is both a QT and a Bueno and I agree to drive there. When we get to QT, Saif starts going on about he won’t eat at the Bueno right there because he got food poisoning there once (months ago) and wants me to drive all the way across town to another Bueno, I tell him that I’m not gonna do that and that if he’s not gonna eat at the Bueno he should get food at QT, this conversation goes on for a bit in the QT while I get my drink and food and Jason gets his snacks and when Saif finally realizes that I’m not gonna drive across town to go to another Bueno when there is one RIGHT HERE, he goes outside and pouts… waiting for us to finish. When we get back in the car, he doesn’t say a word, then he pouts off back to his house once we got back to the cul-de-sac. I go home and think about a lot of stuff, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened with Saif, but it’s pretty up near top for the dumbest, so I decide that it’s not really worth it anymore, and from that point forward, I haven’t said a word to him period. And that was it. I just stopped talking to him, seriously, nothing more.

Here is what sealed the deal and made me never want to talk to Saif again, ever, period. At one point, Saif was cleaning out his garage, a reasonable endeavor… he planned a Saturday for it. This is before the Bueno incident noted above. I told him I probably wouldn’t have time to come by since I had stuff going on that Saturday. However, I found I had about 15 minutes that Saturday so I went over and was carrying out some of my stuff, and he was like, “You said you couldn’t come get it, it’s my stuff now.” So, not wanting to deal with Saif this time, and it wasn’t really anything I required, I said, fine, take it, and went home… as far as I was concerned, all that stuff was his now. So like a month or so later, about 2 weeks post-Bueno he texts me to come get my stuff, screw that, it’s his stuff now. So he takes it and dumps it one mine and Jason’s front lawn. And not just my stuff, boxes of his garbage and stuff, VHS tapes, papers with him name all over them, OKGamers garbage, all on our front lawn. So that was the breaking point.

Those are just the straws that broke the camels back, Saif’s attitude toward life, constant gloom, refusal to be optimistic about almost anything, and constant depression just wear on you. And it’s funny because he seems to have this huge problem being in the same place as me even though the only thing I’ve ever done is stop talking to him. And seriously, to kick us out of his party because of Kelsey using the bathroom, Kelsey, who has only ever helped him with stuff without requiring anything is exchange, is just tacky. If he was just looking for a reason to kick me out, my girlfriend using the bathroom is a pretty sad one… if that’s the worst thing we did in 2 hours, then we definitely weren’t causing any problems. I would have respected him more if he was just a man about it, however, this is Saif, and if he was a man about anything I guess I wouldn’t have been in this situation in the first place.
