I went on a night out last night in London to celebrate my friends birthday. My friend brought two friend groups out: her friends from University (me included), and her friends from the cafe/pub she worked at.
I had never met them before. Aside from one or two of the members of that group, they didn’t really try to mingle with us. They were also all in the 29-31 age range while we were all around 24. I had a good time with my friends so it didn’t really matter.
I was at the smoking area trying to talk with the pub group, kinda just small talk but they were mostly ignoring me. Suddenly one of the guys brings up that,
“it’s looking like you’re gonna owe me that 25” to his other friend.
Someone else asks what it’s about, and he says that the bet is if Josh (one of the guys in the pub group) will go home with Conny.
Conny was one of the people from that group who talked to my friends, and we talked a lot that night as we both had an interest in film. When she came out for a smoke, I quietly mentioned what I heard to her.
A small time later Josh takes me aside and asks me about it in a very serious tone, with really aggressive eye contact. When I’m trying to justify why I told her, he keeps interrupting me saying “I don’t care why, I just want to know if you are telling the truth”.
Then I assume he went and talked with his friends about it who denied it completely. Now that whole group thinks I’m trying to start drama, and I’ve woken up to a text from my friend (birthday girl) asking what’s up.
I thought I was doing the right thing because I would be upset if I went home with someone, and found out afterwards there was a bet about it. Should I not have said anything cause I didn’t know the whole situation/it wasn’t my business? Am I the Asshole?
