" This was basically ok with me as I didn't really want to bale there as it is a long drive from where I need to be. I think I have plenty of wheat straw if I want to bale it. "

Now understantably I may be missing something in your explaination,, but... You really didn't want to bale the straw in the first place, and already have plenty of straw in the second place, and thirdly,, the "annoying but basically good guy" wound up getting his straw he wanted for free anyway.

Again from where I'm sitting and with your explaination it looks like you have your nose out of joint over some situation with 3-4 people involved that you really didn't want anything to do with in the first place. Now granted I may be missing something in your explaination, I just don't see what there is to get your nose out of joint over.
