OK I am fully prepared to be told that I was being very U!
At the weekend we had a small gathering of close family and friends to celebrate my DH's birthday.
One of our friends turned up and had a bit to drink and later phoned a woman (they aren't an item but are sleeping together I think), me and DH have never met this woman but a lot of people at the party have and do not like her.
Our friend did not ask either of us if she could come round and the first I heard of it was me opening the door to a complete stranger. I was a bit shocked but took the more the merrier approach.
Anyway this woman came into my home and proceeded to say hello to all of our friends there and completely blanked me and my dh. There was no thank you for having me or anything.
I tried to engage in conversation with this woman twice during the evening, both when she was sitting with people she knew so she wouldn't feel uncomfortable talking to a stranger. The first time she ignored me, the second time I directed a question at her and she literally turned her face away from me. Talk about a snub But she was quite happy to talk to other people that she had not met before, just not me.
I felt her behavior was extremely rude. The final straw was when the a few guys at the party (who had had a bit to drink) were joking with her. She made a joke about my husband (a friendly one) which my husband laughed at and made a joke back (in no way was it offensive imo). She got really annoyed and stormed out of the room. I was in the door way and she knocked me as she was coming through. I made a comment like "hey!" in shock and she turned around and gave me the filthiest look I have ever seen in my life. It was a look of complete disgust, she looked me up and down.
I saw red and asked her (I didnt shout) to get the hell out of my house and told her that she needed to remove the massive chip on her shoulder before she was ever welcome here again.
She left but it put a massive downer on the rest of the evening, which pissed me off.
WIBU???
AIBU?
To have thrown this woman out of my house??

She sounds awful. I wonder why she took on such a hostile attitude
. Has your friend got anything to say about her by way of an explanation or apology?
Yadnbu. I think from what you say she does have a chip of some sort. What other conclusion could anyone reach?
This was the most odd thing about the night, the guy who invited her just stayed sitting where he was and there was a distinct lack of fucks that he gave. He just carried on chatting to my brother and didnt bat an eyelid. He let her go home alone. 
I was wondering if I had been a bit heavy handed throwing her out and felt a bit bad that I might have humiliated her some what.
YABU not to have removed her with more 'enthusiasm' and much, much sooner. 
My theory is that I have a "lower" class accent compared to my husband's family and friends. So maybe she looked down on me a bit. She might have stuck her nose up and thought I was rough round the edges.
Oh god I have probably proved her right. 
My husband keeps taking the piss and doing the Peggy Mitchell "Git ahhhht ma pub!"
I have never thrown someone out of my house before aswell it is strangely exhilarating

Joanna I am only doubtful because I feel like my actions ruined the night and also because I dont know if I can ever face my PILs again. Oh no
