AIW for refusing to drive my friend to the airport at 3 AM because I had a big presentation?
One of my closest friends from college was flying out for a two-week vacation and he asked if I could give him a lift to the airport. The catch was his flight was at 6 AM which meant leaving the house around 3 AM to get there on time. I told him I really could not do it because I had a massive final presentation at work the next morning that I had been preparing for weeks and I needed to be sharp. He got super passive-aggressive and said that a real friend would just "power through it" with some coffee and that he did not want to pay sixty bucks for an Uber. I suggested he check the airport shuttle or ask another friend who works from home but he just stopped replying to my texts. Well the day of his flight comes and I get a series of angry messages at 4 AM saying he almost missed his flight because the ride he finally booked was late and that it was my fault he was starting his trip stressed out. Now he is back from vacation and he is telling everyone in our circle that I am selfish and that I put my "corporate ladder climbing" above our ten-year friendship. I managed to nail my presentation but now I feel like crap because most of our friends are saying it would have just been one rough night for me while it was a huge deal for him. Am I wrong for staying home to sleep when my friend needed a favor?
