Over the New Year my OH and I rented a house with a group of friends for a couple of days. Everyone did stuff to make weekend great. We shared the food preparation, my OH and I also organised the booking of the house and another friend brought the PA system and spent time doing a playlist of music.
All went well over the New Years eve meal and we listened to the playlist made by the man who did the music for most of the night but after watching the fireworks on the TV a few people wanted to dance. His music was very good but not all the songs were the types to dance to, so a few people said the music was no good and they wanted a party playlist to dance to. One of the ladies in the party who is realatively new to this group of friends, (who have known each other for over 30 years), was a bit more vocal about it. The man who did the playlist lost his temper with her and a few swear words were thrown about. She burst into tears and ran upstairs saying the her and her partner (not new to the group) would have to leave. I was in the room when the man who lost his temper came in and said that he had been a prick and he was very sorry. I left the room, but heard later, that the apology was not really accepted very well. The man concerned then left the house and disappeared. His wife later got a text to say he was at home. (Still not sure how he got a taxi to go that far on New Years Eve). Both parties had drunk a lot and the next day the lady concerned seemed okay and she and her partner stayed the rest of the time.
I have known this man for 35 years and my OH for longer as he went to junior school with him. Basically, we know that he is particularly into his music and his OH said that he spent 5 hours doing the playlist. She was very upset because this is not the first time he has lost his temper and said nasty things after drinking. I suppose that those of us who have known him for years just accept that he can lose it and then regets it after, but on the whole we like him enough the rest of the time to maintain the friendship.
I have never lost my temper when drunk and tend to be more of a silly giggly drunk. I never understand people who do seem to change when drunk. In the end I said to the lady concerned that she has to consider if the friendship (they play a lot of golf together) is worth maintaining despite this unfortunate trait he has.
Bad Temper
