A bit of drama as usual on a Monday

Not really sure what the drugs bit has to do with this, sound completely like seperate issues. I actually really like my nickname and I get called it all the time.

However, there is a fine line between using a nickname as an actual name, and using it in a derogatory way. This has happened to me several times repeatedly, with some friends bizarrely singing my name or repeating it as if it were a joke - which sounds exactly like what you were doing. On at least one occation, I have promised myself that if it happened one more time, they would get a punch.

Enjoy banter with your friends, but don't take liberties and reduce your friends to a punchline. That's how nice friends turn nasty.

To rectify the situation - apologise sincerely for winding him up, but be firm that what he did was totally out of order.

Sounds like you hit a nerve. If he really is your friend like you describe, ignore the fact he has kicked the seven bells out of you and ask him what the problem is.

So you continuously provoked someone and got beat up for it, big shocker there. The drugs part is over the line though and for that I'd inform the police if you have proof of it.

Oh come on. Is that really what you think, that an old friend giving a ribbing should expect to have his package rearranged at any moment? His 'mate' is clearly a drugged up nutter that needs to be disregarded from this point on.

You would extend the courtesy of asking someone what their problem was when he's just spat at you and kicked you in the balls just for a name? You're loyal, I'll give you that.

I think it might depend on the relationship with the friend, any of my genuine friends I would as it couldn't be a more out of character thing for any of them to do, and obviously there would be more to it than them just snapping. However there's a few things about the OP's post that make it sound like this isn't a long standing friend, it sounds like the OP's been majorly taken advantage of in a very Jeremy Kylesque way.
 
OP may well have been very annoying and possibly a bit of a ****. I have no idea. However, I don't see the need for anyone to have friends that kick them in the nuts and spit in their faces. Friendship over, move on.

I agree in a way, but for me it would definitely be a case of 'so long and thanks for the memories' as I don't want to be around someone that's capable of that no matter the reason or excuse.

It's swings and roundabouts. I wouldn't like to be constantly teased or provoked by anyone, let alone by friends (especially undermining you infront of others), when I don't have to tolerate such behaviour from what are evidently better friends.

Obviously violence is a disproportionate reaction and he should have addressed this issue with the OP beforehand, but it sounds like the OP should also take a lesson in how to treat his friends better.

no one else thinking, why did he ask your sister to get the pills?

This is the bit that stuck out to me as being the most important thing to sort out. You don't ask the question to any random person, surely? You have to suspect that person would be able to get the stuff, right? :confused:
 
Firstly, I can empathise with him.
Secondly, as his 'best mate' you should find out what's up with him and try to help.
Thirdly he's doing your sister

I don't think the OP was teasing and provoking, though. It sounded like the kind of banter most friends have between themselves at the pub on a regular basis.

My friends and I spend much of our time when at the pub, ripping the pee out of each other, it's just funny.

If you only surround yourself with people that never tease you then maybe you have confidence issues :p.
 
Get him done for GBH and keep his case, yeewwww

edit:

he wouldnt be smashing his best mates head in, in asda if he was on E hahahahhahaha

Are you Chopper Read?*

*doesn't seem to care when his mate is stabbing him
 
No, I just know that if someone goes out of character like that, there is something wrong, and I want to know what. (read: Want to know if I can help) :)
