Robyn Takes On a Complete Dumbnard...

Um, that's right, DUMBNARD! And yes, I created that word so use it wisely! It can cover all manner of horrifying behavior that idiots, especially guys, carry out. Maybe I should have prefaced this with a story but I thought perhaps dumbnard would give you an idea of where this particular story was heading. So, you know how I might have mentioned this guy friend who wouldn't take "no" for an answer? Yes, well, he is the reason for my current debacle and outrage. Last night I was so exhausted from a busy week at school and my part-time job that I decided to go to bed early (although early is relative because I tucked myself in around 11:30-ish). But that is rather early for a Friday evening for a college student. And, of course, for the first time ever I forget to turn off my ringer. Low and behold, my phone goes off RIGHT as I am falling asleep. I glance at the phone and smash the button to make it go to voicemail. Seeing that it was from said Guy, I decide to listen to the voicemail that followed shortly afterward. Confused by the message, I sent him a text because, since it was midnight, I was worried that maybe it was an emergency, thinking perhaps he might have gotten into an accident and was calling his friends that were in the area to come pick him up. What a load of crap!
The response I got was "would you come hang out with me if it was an emergency?"-Umm, well, sure buddy. I'll run right over there in my pajamas and clock you upside your face for waking me up in the middle of the night! My response to this was dignified and I tried to refrain from using curse words: "What's that supposed to mean? There is or there isn't an emergency and if there isn't I'm going back to sleep"!! In my mind I used a lot more expletives because personally I REALLY don't like getting woken up in the middle of the night, especially when I haven't had a good night's rest in awhile! I threw the phone back down on my bedside table and rolled over, trying to fall back to sleep (which took another hour to do so because now I was pissed off!). When I woke up this morning there were several more text messages from the guy, one telling me I shouldn't go to sleep but instead hang out with him, and the other telling me that he was sorry but he's drunk (as if being drunk excuses everything like his personality flaws and his tendency to be a jerk). Yes, well if being drunk excuses those things, perhaps I should start using that as an excuse for everything...oh wait, some people already do ("Oh sorry officer that I was swerving, I'm drunk" or "Oh man, sorry Professor, I was drunk and wasn't able to get that paper done on time"). At this point, I'm ready to get some scissors out and literally cut this guy from my life. I mean, all that really needs to happen is for me to get a sincere apology but I doubt that he even thinks he did anything wrong so if he's such a dumbnard then maybe it's best we just leave things where they are. I know it's a tad extreme, but things have been piling up for awhile and I feel like this is sort of the last straw. It'd be one thing if I was the type of girl that didn't mind random hook-ups and what not, but I'm NOT! And for a friend, a guy that knows me, to even assume something like that about me is offensive. So yes, maybe I'm a little extreme, but seriously-What's wrong with being a little old fashioned, especially about dating? No guy, in his right mind, would call a girl that he's interested in dating at midnight to come hang out. At that point there are other things implied by the hang out and he's no longer interested in dating the girl. So, can you understand why I'm a little more than just peeved right now?
