I am I being "offensive" and not being serious [story/rant]
Hi everyone!!
Have a little rant/story I want to get out and opinion from.
A co-worker asked me the day before to pick him up at the bus stop before work so he doesn't have to walk up to work. I agreed as we are very good friends/co-worker where we talked often and "hung out" outside of working hours and do alot of joking around.
So ... the following day [today] he texted me "don't forget to pick me up!!"
I responded "Who is this?! I forgot!! .... Joking haha"
He responded back in about 10 mins ... "I'll walk to work instead, your joke is very offensive and I don't like it"
[Walking is 1.8 km from bus stop to work]
The whole day he never talked even though I apologized to him that I did not mean to hurt his feelings. Between me and him, we knew each other for 3+ years and we joke with/at each other without a problem. We traveled places a few times to tourist places.
He says my joke was offensive and that he will not talk to me again because I am not handle the situation seriously.
Do you think he's over doing the situation? I know it was wrong on my part but we normally "joke" like that and he never says a thing about not liking it or to stop the way i joke. It's just out of the blue he says I am not serious and offensive
