Anybody ever been with the wrong person or people right when they were getting in trouble, but you weren't a part of it?
I have an old example:
I was at a boat ramp with some friends well past park hours. They were drinking, I wasn't. However, when they cops pulled up I had a long argument with the police officer about me drinking. She was sure I had been and I wasn't going to say I was doing something I wasn't. For fear of beer bladder in an area without a bathroom, trust me, I had NOT been drinking.
Well, recently I think the actions of another person whom I was with has left me looking red handed. I'm really bummed about it, 'cause it involves people I was trying to become friends with.
Ho Hum. :(

I'm no saint by any means but if you sleep with the dogs long enough you're going to get fleas.
I'm getting that, for sure.
Unfortunately, I'm married to the dog and we're in an apartment, so there's no doghouse.
Change is going to come, but in the mean time, I'm upset that his actions have affected something I was working on.

Verona??? it's all surmountable
Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
I understand what you're saying. I used to roll with a crew and we got into a fair amount of trouble. It was all stupid shit too. Even when you're not doing anything you still go down with the ship.
You eventually smarten up and start making good choices. It's a lot better.
I'd be pissed in your situation too if I had been working on something and my supposed other half fucked it up.
Hey, It just doesn't come naturally to some folks. I was actually fighting every bit of my usual flakiness to try to be a genuine friend. Sounds weird, I'm sure. I'm just not good at this stuff anyway. Now I tried and it ended up all fucked.
I think I'm gonna go back to being a loner. :rolleyes:

Ah yes. One New Year's Eve I agreed to drive to a store to get more beer despite the fact that I was fucking schnockered (yes, I know - don't drink and drive). It was in a small town at like 3:00 in the morning so the streets were deserted except, of course, for the cops. Anyhoo, as we are driving right past a cop car my really drunk friend leans out the window and totally flips them off. Wild gesticulating arm motions that couldn't be missed. Obviously, the cops pull us over right away. At this point, I am pissed off at my friend for bringing this uwanted attention to me as I am loaded and driving. The cops aren't real happy either. They drag me out of the car and make me perform field sobriety tests (which I fail miserably) but the whole time I am apologizing to them, bitching about my friend and asking if I can borrow their nightstick to beat the shit out of him. The cops are so amused by my reaction that they eventually tell me to get back in my car and DRIVE home. I didn't argue and I'm sure if they hadn't let us go, I would have beaten my friend to a bloody pulp.

Don't do it Urban. That's like letting shitty people and their bad behaviour dictate your life even further.
There are good people out there, you just have to do some more hunting by the sounds of it but you'll find them.
And yes, I have been surrounded by fuck ups but not been part of the trouble and it's landed me in some hot water. I just started being a lot more selective about who I spend time with. I'm not always successful but I'm a damn sight better at it now than I was when I was younger. It's all a learning curve.
