What do you do when this happens?
Friend of a friend - been hanging out with him on the water for a few years. Loves to camp like I do. He's more part of my friends circle.
Anyway, he's an alcoholic, who was sober for 3 or 4 years when I met him. However this summer he got a new girlfriend who seems to be a big drinker herself.
Luckily the only boat he owns is a Kayak.
Anyway, he pissed me off one weekend during a camping trip, waving an airsoft gun around while drunk (I'm terrified of losing my vision due to someone else's stupidity) and basically just being "that guy" who gets wasted and annoys the **** out of everyone when all they want to do is relax.
That was a month ago.
I decided to give him another chance. I told him to kayak out to an island last Sunday and I'd meet him there with some other friends on my boat. He brought out a pretty good size bottle of vodka (i'd say it was a little smaller then your average bottle of wine).
He was fine for the first 2 hours. After that it was same old drunken *** time.
The main thing that pissed me off was he kept turning my radio up. I warned him 3 times, and the third time I kicked him off the boat...... Like actually pushed him into the water.
I paid 400 bucks for 4 really nice speakers for the boat, I don't need some drunken *** who isn't going to pay for them when they break - turning them up to the point where they are popping.
After his swim he expected me to take him in. I couldn't do it, like it REALLY bothered me that he thought I'd take him in, tow his kayak and let him drive drunk. Instead I made him row back in. The wind and tide was strong so we stayed about 100 feet away, took him about an hour.
ANYWAY fastforward to yesterday:
"Yo dude, my gf and I are going to be in town, wondering if you're going out on the boat"
I told him to rent his gf and kayak and go for a nice outting with her.
Just now
"Hey bro, don't mean 2 annoy u but my gf and i wanted to know if your going on the both tomorrow, want to figure out when we should wake up"
I responded:
"Not making plans, I'm meeting up with a girl in the morning, we might go out, we might not. Like I said go rent a kayak."
