Default Moral Dilemma!

Situation:
My friend has a ticket for tonight Penguins/Flames game. His girlfriend has a work christmas party which they are supposed to be attending. If my friend pick the christmas party, the ticket goes to me!


Would it be wrong of me to phone up the girl and suggest to her that my friend going to the christmas party, would be a true symbol of his love and commitment to her????

Sure, I do things like that all the time. Plus you will be guaranteeing your friend some action at least.

If he's your buddy then you're screwing him over if he really wants to go to the game... guess it depends on how 'tongue-in-cheek' it would be, or if he'd be pissed.

If he found out and would be pissed, then I wouldn't do it.

Would it be wrong if I did get the ticket to give him the gears about being "Whipped" tomorrow?....

Better yet. Tell your buddy that you told his g/f that. Then he has to very quickly call up his g/f to say he wants to go out with her.

He gets to be the good guy in her books, and you go to the game. win/win.

You would do that to a "friend"? Brutal!
I can't believe you would even consider doing that.

That all sounds good but be sure to add something about how you think he's sleeping with her best friend.

Work Xmas party on a THURSDAY NIGHT? I dunno, sounds like your friend isn't exactly heading out for an epic adventure if he's forced to go to that, I think you're better off not saying anything at all.

My girlfriend would let me go to the Flames game, however I would have to go to my wife's Christmas party.

You do NOT want to encourage your buddy to stay with a girl that would not allow him to attend a hockey game of this much importance.

Unless you don't like him much... then by all means snake the tickets

ha.


Well, if one of my buddies pulled that crap on me I'd be sure to find somebody else to give the hockey ticket to. Kids up Front would probably love it, and so would the scalpers or any of my other friends.

OP, remind me not to be your friend if we ever meet

That said, if his gf did not at least say he can go to the game and pretend she would be fine with it, leaving the choice up to him, then I'd say he's probably better off with another gal anyways.

How about this, phone up your friends girlfriend and tell her that your friend really has his heart set on going to the game, so heatbroken she tells him its ok, and off he goes.

Meanwhile you offer to go to the party with her as a "friend"

Listen sympathetically as she tells you that she was testing him and he should be here right now. Continually feed her champag-ne as she bares her soul to her. She tells you what a great guy you are for listening to her problems. Of course you quietly bury your best friend, saying that she deserves better, someone who would be willing to drop everything to be with her . . . as you order more Champagna.

Totally seduce her.

Every one wins.

The boyfriend gets to see Sydney Crosby play. The Girlfriend gets to have revenge sex. You just get to have sex.

Everyone wins.

Yay

I can tell you if it was one of my buddies I would do it purely for the humor of it, and then rub it in his face the next day about how he is whipped. I even have a little dance I would do.

But my buddies and I are like that.

If he lives with his girlfriend, she's already made the choice for him.

Enjoy the game... live.
