Just for some backstory I’ve now learned that my best friend (C) is scared of horror movies - to the point where they would want to leave a movie theatre when seeing one. This also happened a few weeks ago so my memories are fuzzy. However, the argument happened recently. A couple days before the movie, C and my other friend, B, planned to watch a movie. While we were in a car planning to go to a house to watch a movie, B and I suggest several horror films like the shining or Texas Chainsaw massacre. I don’t remember C mentioning that they wanted to watch something else/don’t like horror movies. I feel like I would’ve had the decency to watch a different genre if they did. Then we eventually decide on 28 Weeks later. When C and I argued, they stated that at this point of watching the movie, they mentioned that they didn’t like horror movies. I don’t remember thjs - probably too focused on the movie, which is my fault. A couple days later, B and I want to watch weapons. I suggest this to C and other friends, D and E. I remember saying that weapons was a horror movie but C told me they don’t remember this. So, we enter the theatre and pay for the movie. C and D say that they’re scared of horror movies after seeing the poster in front of the cinema - I don’t really remember this part but I think it happened. At this point I think they’re trolling me. From my point of view, C didn’t say anything about the previous movie and when I said that this was a horror movie when I suggested we watch it. So we all enter the theatre, the seating arrangement is me, B, E, C, and D. C says that both C and D put on AirPods at various moments as they were scared. I did not notice this as I was on the opposite end and was paying attention to the movie. Only once we left the movie theatres did I realize they were actually scared. C was angry and shouted profanities about how we wasted their time. D was sulking around a little. I didn’t do anything to console them. A few weeks later, C and I are talking about this incident. I’m arguing that this was miscommunication and all parties were at fault. However, C says that B and I are at fault because we should’ve known that C and D were scared, that we wasted their time, and that we should’ve apologized. From my point of view, there was nothing to suggest that they were scared. I was taken-aback after the movie due to the emotions they were expressing. Additionally due to C being angry and shouting profanities I thought that trying to say anything would’ve made things worse. Additionally, I don’t think that I should apologize for wasting their time at the movie theatre. My main fault is not having the tact to recognize they were scared before the movie. Maybe I purposefully ignored signs as I wanted to watch the movie. Throughout the argument, I thought that C was being irrational when pushing the blame solely on B and I. I thought that both parties could’ve done a better job at communicating.
