i was down in socal the past weekend since thursday a long planned vacation between me and some of my closest friends. it was also my girlfriends birthday on that weekend (july 1) and i brought her with me. i saved enough money to completely spoil her and make the weekend about her. that just turned into a nightmare because she invited some of her friends who were just a pain in the ass. her friends are my friends also, but i know them as a group that causes nothing but stress on trips like these. first two days of the trip was absolute fun: ordered up hotdogs at pinks, took a nice walk and took in the views on hollywood boulevard, drove to dave&busters @ the block for a night of drinking and games and then eat pho at one of those 24 hr restaurants. second day we went to six flags magic mountainand then to a nice retaurant to eat. all fun.

third day came, the day that really counted for me because i put a lot of effort into making the day special. i had the birthday cake that she loves, i had reservations for 20 people at the clubhouse in south coast plaza, a vip booth reserved at v20 nightclub. the nightmare begins: her stupid friend couldnt find her shoes and makes a big deal out of it so they did not show up to dinner until it was too late, only about 10 arrived, missing 8. i was angry but thought to call her immediately and she told me to just sit down with my friends and order some food to eat. so i did. they finally arrive 45 minutes later but we're done eating. one of those girls even had the nerve to say we were inconsiderate for eating first. okay, wth, i was told to eat because they might not even show up! i ordered up a dish for my gf and she finishes and goes to the restroom. thats when i have our waiter bring out her cake to surprise her when she returns. her idiot friend runs to the bathroom and tells her! i was gonna choke a bitch, $700 on dinner and the best part is ruined. my gf came back to the table with a mad look on her face and i have no idea why. from that i was just as angry cause her friends already ruined two things i had planned. then when we get the club, im denied my vip booth because someone paid more for it. what the hell!?!?! i had reserved it too, and they didnt even let me know someone offered more money to take it over until i arrived. at this point im just completely heated because the entire night has been ruined. my gf is upset with me and i really want to slap all the girls that came and made things difficult. only my friends (my brothers and homeboys) understand how i felt because they knew all the trouble i went through to plan this night. to make things worse, after the club let out, i got into an argument with a samoan lady on crack that accused me of attacking her brother. crazy bitch! all i was doing was taking a walk to the car. im just so heated, and venting my anger. my

lesson learned: dont ever let girls come with me and my buddies on road trips, they're fucking crazy.

I'll provide cliffs:
- went on road trip with friends, gf and gf's friends for gf's b-day
- gf's friends screwed up most of the trip
- spent $700 on dinner and gf got mad for some unknown reason
- gf's friends are a PITA

I still have no idea why your gf got mad about the cake - and especially why she would be mad at you. For what your post it seems like her friends did the most to screw up the night. The club thing sucks, but what can you do?

Good that you are now laughing. I think you have a right to be pissed at her friends. That's BS.

Personally, I would have had them down for the road trip, just do something like dinner. And then when it was just you and your gf, do something she would remember. If you have 10-20 people in a given space, someone WILL definately get pissy and will distract everyone else.

That sucks about the club thing...but rolling 20 deep to dinner?!?!? That's a big crew and the bigger the crew the better the odds that someone will fall out of line in some way.

What was she mad at? You must have an idea

i honestly dont know, my guess was she was mad that her friend ruined it for her and took her aggression out on the wrong person

Remember, in a large group, there will ALWAYS be someone who will get angry that they are not the center of attention. That type of person will do what ever it takes to make sure he (or she) does something to trip up the good times being had by all. It isn't rational or logical it just is.


I have to admit to being curious why your gf was upset at you for the cake. I assume her "friend" probably knew a button to push to set your gf off.

If you want to do something special for your gf make it just the two of you. Tell you what I did with one girlfriend I had several years ago. She was having a very difficult time in her life for various reasons.

So I decided to "kidnap" her. I personally knew her boss so I called her up and asked if my gf could have Friday off and a half day on Thursday, but not to tell my gf until she was leaving for lunch on Thursday. So Thursday morning as she was at work I entered her apartment (I had a key) and got together only absolutely essential things that she would need for the long weekend (toothbrush, allergy pill etc) also her golf clubs (and mine). I was sitting in her living room with a very small bag packed when she walked in. I told her to put on comfortable clothes and that she had 3 minutes to do it. Her eyes were very wide, but she was back down in 2 minutes 30 in blue jeans and a blouse.

Without telling her where we were going we headed off. A couple of hours later we were in the Saint Matthews area of Louisville KY (we lived in the Cincinnati area.) Where we hit 3 malls in the area and I bought her all the clothes she would need for the weekend, including a very nice dress, some lingerie and her favorite perfume. She was all smiles by that time (up till then she was very very quiet.) She thanked me for a wonderful trip, but we were not headed back home. I had made reservations at the French Lick Hotel in French Lick IN. With reservations for very nice dinners each night, tee times, and massage sessions.

Let's just say it was a memorable weekend for both of us. It was unexpected and very special for her. No one knew where we were and we didn't know anyone else at the hotel. So no one to trip up our special time.

You don't have to go to such extent to make your girl feel special. I've found that little things such as flowers being on the table when she gets home has a fantastic effect. Just show appreciation, that is what counts.

thanks for the advice, and some of the weird comments??

Mike 350Z

Um, did you really spend $700 on dinner, or did you just throw that in there because it was your 700th post?

hornyleprechaun

Man you guys are crazy.. If this was a post count thread it was a terrible story. I can't remember who did it, but the Pirate post count thread was so funny

your girlfriend has the same birthday as my girlfriend... my birthday was 2 days ago. (yes shes older than me, haha).

Girls are okay when alone, when in packs... beware!

We kept it simple and went to the beach on the friday before her birthday, she loved it.
the next friday was my birthday, we also went to the beach... just as fun!

IMO confront her friend, and tell her that she ruined the evening, and that she's a horrible friend for not letting her friend have fun.

Man, I would seriously slap that bitch that told your gf about her suprise. I hate fucking dumb bitches..
