My toxic ex-friend kicks me out of a club we shared together by claiming that I was being problematic despite the fact that I didn't do anything.

0:07.4

But now after they realize my absence is seriously ruining their club, they're demanding that I come back and help them in the same way as when I was a full-fledged member,

0:16.2

screaming that it's not fair that all the benefits I brought to the club are gone all because I I got kicked out. Because right now, I am incredibly frustrated. Here's what happened. Okay, for a bit of background, I'm a 21-year-old male, and I've been a part of my university's music club for a little more than a year up until this September. I first auditioned as a guitarist, and I got in around September of 2003. And because of the connections I've made

0:38.4

in the music scene here, since I've been involved in the music industry since I was about

0:42.1

14 years old, I helped provide certain things for free that weren't available to the club before,

0:46.9

stuff like sound engineers, studio time, access to certain events, etc. And I agreed to do this

0:52.2

with the board at the time and decided to keep

0:54.3

my involvement on the low as it would undermine the board a bit and it might cause some kind

1:03.7

so happens that the new president is someone that belongs to the same friend group within the

1:07.7

club, which ended up breaking up and we fell into two different sides.

1:11.6

We will be calling her Emma to make things easier. As soon as Emma got elected, she decided to kick

1:16.4

us out for being problematic and that was that. At first, I thought about cutting them off right

1:21.0

after I was out, but some of my friends were still part of the club and already had performances

1:25.4

planned and I didn't want to ruin it for them.

1:27.7

So I waited until the first event was done around late October and I talked to my contacts

1:32.7

and I told them that I would no longer be working with that club and I thank them for all the

1:37.2

help. Well, about a week after that, I got a call from the old president who told me that

1:41.5

Emma called her and asked for her to talk to the sound engineers

1:44.6

as they didn't want to talk to them anymore and they aren't interested in working with them.

1:49.1

And that's when she told them about our deal. Well, sure enough, I got an email that afternoon
