Vent: why must all perfect days end in disaster? (SUPER long sorry)

Yesterday afternoon we took DD to a hot air balloon festival. She had a BLAST and it was a really good day. Then at night my mom watched DD so DH and I could go out to a nice dinner. Again, we had an awesome time. After dinner his friends (who just bought a new house) invited us over b/c he was having a get together with all our usual friends. i even remember thinking while we were driving over there, "wow this has been a perfect day"

We get there at about 9pm and everything started out fine. We were all hanging out in the backyard. people were swimming in the pool and just hanging out, talking having a good time. Meanwhile, his friend (who owns the house w/ his g/f, we will call him C) is BELIGERENTLY drunk!  We all try to ignore him the best we can but it gets to the point where it's starting to get uncomfortable. DH and I were about to get going when  C starts fooling around on the deck. His g/f is yelling at him to calm down and before you know it he falls and his shoulder goes through a WINDOW!  he wasn't really hurt but of course his g/f is PISSED and she starts screaming at him asking does he have any idea how much that window cost. She storms into the house so we all help clean up the glass and decide thats all of our cues to exit. Obviously it is not appropriate to stay at someones hosue when they are having an argument.

So DH and I are saying our goodbyes and just turned around when C decided it would be fun to tackle DH from behind and push him inot the pool. So there poor DH goes fully dressed phone and allet in his pocket, into the pool.  His brand new phone (which he neglected to get insurance on, which I know is his own fault) is now a watered down POS. It won't even turn on. So DH gets out of the pool  and we get him towels to try off. Of course he is super pissed but he keeps his cool pretty well. Again we turn to leave and  C tackles him from behind and throws him in the pool AGAIN! At this point I along with everyone else is FUMING Like WTF C! I start flipping out telling him what a drunk f*ck *** he is and he better believe he is paying for a new phone. He starts making fun of me like fake crying, pretty much calling me a baby. I was ready to punch him in the face so we said bye to out other friends and left, while they all tried to get C in the house and under control so he could pass out.

DH and I were sooooooo pissed on the way home. Dh was almost in tears. I told him yeah it really sucks but we will get a new phone and it's not the be all end all of the world. Then he looks at me and says, you don't understand, you don't know how many videos and pictures of Riley I had on that phone. I can't get those back. I felt soooo bad! He looked like he was heart broken. Anyway, props to you if you made it this far, but that was my day yesterday, Started out awesome and ended in disaster. I can pretty much gauruntee that C will be homeless tonight b/c I think his g/f was reaching the breaking point with him anyway. She pretty much bought the house on her own anyway. It's under her name and she just lets him live there. Plus I know we will never see a dollar from C for a new phone so that pisses me off even more. Ughh I knew there was a reason why I was never a fan of that particular friend. Grrrr Vent over.

    I'm sorry.

    Throw the phone in a bag full of rice. I know there's more to it, and someone might be able to give more specifics. I think you have to disassemble it and throw all the parts in the rice, leave it there for at least 24 hours and you're not supposed to turn it on at all. 

    I like privacy. A lot.

    That sucks, I am sorry. If the pics and video were saved to a memory card they might not be lost. Sometimes it just needs to dry out.

    Aw, sorry to hear that...If it makes you feel better, at our wedding, the BM got piss drunk, did a flip (passed out mid-flip) and broke his jaw (he was lucky it wasn't his head). As he was going into the ambulance I was balling, thinking he was going to die. Luckily, he is ok. That's my luck! BM is lucky we can joke about it now!

    I would've punched that a-hole in the head. What a jerk! If the rice trick doesn't work, take the phone to the store and see if they can retrieve some fo the pics/videos.

    Sorry! Left HugRight Hug
