Classic! Suggest someone just hide the problem rather than fix what they screwed up. No surprise for a "disinvite".
Jay's barbecue - disinvited
The barbecue is on and is all very exciting, or I should say was exciting. We had lots of fun talking about decorations around pool, inviting neighbors who live kind of far away since Jay lives in the middle of a forest. And also about food and local caterers who plan to help.
The mood was celebratory.
It was exciting visiting the most famous listening room in the country, and because I was having trouble containing my excitement I accidentally spilled an entire glass of merlot wine on a new carpet. And earlier I recommended putting a couch along the wall which would've overlapped the acoustic panels and possibly putting a few pieces of furniture in the room since space seems kind of open. It's a really large room. I sensed a mood change.
Was it the wine? Was it my taste in furniture? Was it related to my concern about types of music that that would be played at the barbecue?
It's a mystery. Things did not go well that afternoon and consequently, I will not be invited to the barbecue.
What an amazing journey and I'm sorry I will not be able to visit and experience all the incredibly expensive and wonderful audio components that will be featured. That's OK. Thank God for you tube.
for those future visitors, please let me know if he was able to get the stain out of the carpet. Maybe now he'll consider buying a couch which will hide the stain.

@robeffy - I agree.
All I can say is "shocker".
The mystery is why you seem mystified about being disinvited, particularly after apparently questioning the proposed music selections, recommending "changes" to the recently completed "most famous listening room in the country", and becoming overly emotional to the point where you "spilled an entire glass of merlot wine on a new carpet". I suggest taking a step back, re-reading the response by @kennyc, and trying to understand how your own behavior contributed to the consequence. In addition, sending a hand-written apology and sincere offer to reimburse damages wouldn’t hurt. As a hint, doubling down in your last sentence on your recommendation that he "consider buying a couch" is a step in the wrong direction. |
