Search Results: apologizing to a guy

28F, I gamed online frequently with two guys for a little over 2 years. We never met in person & over time the two of them stopped playing as frequently. Now I ended up unfriending one in Dec 2022 bc over time I got irritated with him. While he was clearly a better gamer, he came across as arrogant at times & if there’s one thing I can’t handle it’s a conceited man. He wished me merry Christmas, I didn’t answer & he follows up maybe a month after on IG. He acknowledged that I unfriended him & wanted to know why, I was blunt & he apologized etc. It was a mature conversation & shortly after he tells me that his apartment burnt down after an electrical fire. He’s complained about the complex for the whole time I knew him but for it to end that way is absolutely insane. By the time we talked about it he already moved into his new place, confirmed his ps5 was safe & we left it at that. I checked google & there was a go fund me page for he & his wife. This conversation was in Jan this year & we haven’t spoken since, I added him back on the PlayStation app maybe a month later. He’s been online but not as often, we’d usually talk most of the time he was online but he hasn’t reached out & I feel awkward. I see him online & we’re playing the same game too but nothing. It may seem like an obvious AITA post but tbh if he didn’t say that conceited shit when we were still talking I’d very very likely check in with him by now. I haven’t gotten over it completely, even though I accepted his apology 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m used to dealing with stupid people in customer service but it doesn’t happen often & has been for the past week. Last week, I went to an ice cream shop, order at drive through & when the guy hands me my cup he says “we usually pile on the toppings but this ice cream had a lot of toppings”. I just look at him & grab it, he says have a good day and I drive off. It just irked me it’s like mind your business. Second one was this past week at a pollo tropical drive through, order at speaker then go to window & ask him for a sauce. He looks at me & goes “you’re making me do more work”. And I said “excuse me?” I knew I heard right but he was kind of mumbling then he repeats it again & says “ that’s making me do more work no I’m just kidding”. And I said “excuse that’s very rude remember I’m a customer I’m not your friend”. And he apologizes, I grabbed the food from him, make sure it looks right & then he hands the sauce. I then say “I’m going to your manager” & drive off. Last one was Friday at a GameStop, I’ve dealt with this specific guy before & he was pretty accommodating the last time but Friday he irked me. I call in & ask if a new game that released that day was in stock. He says there’s plenty in stock & I go to pick it up. He asked if I pre ordered and said no I called in right before coming in to see if there was any. He goes on about how he’s shocked there’s so many copies in stock for the console I was asking for. Asked if I wanted to pre order future games, said no & he suggested pre ordering to ensure I will get a new game on release day. I said I called in anyway to see if you all had it before coming in & wasting my time he said pre ordering would save me having to call in. I reiterated I’m familiar with the pre order process.
