Then they said "i'm going to shoot a big buck if he happens to walk by". Perhaps they were either testing GMMATT to see what he'd say (maybe they thought he'd say "ok, no problem")or warning him that that's what they would do, giving him ample opportunity to withdrawl his invitation. That's not being selfish on their part. They told him whatthey would do. I'm surethey realize that he can live with that or tell them to "take a hike"
Still blatantly rude.
If you are asked over for dinner and you're told it will be hamburger do you say. "Okay, but if I find a steak in the refridgerator I'm going to eat it. Just so you know."?
LOL. Yeah right.
It's more like if I invited you to my house and said "I'm going to eat this steak, but since you guys don't live here, you can have hot dogs, heck, it's better than going hungry"
No offense again to you GMMAT, but I will combat analogy with analogy if somebody else interjects. Take care and good hunting all.
