In my group of friend there is one girl who we all know. Some obviously know her better. I have known her for many years and the only way I can describe her is odd (she doesn't have SN)

We had a girls holiday in 2010. The girl decided to eat things like fruit and swordfish etc, so you can guess what happened. At one point she was even being sick, and was just stood in the middle of the room, one of the girl had to actually tell her to use the toilet. We then had to tell her to have a shower because she was literally about to get into bed with sick in her hair.

We took a road trip to visit a friend who had moved away, the girl borrowed one of my friends jumpers as she was cold when we got there. We ordered food and she ordered the hottest curry on the menu. We start eating and about 10 minutes later we realise she's gone very quiet, we looked over and saw she was bright red, pouring with sweat and even had tears in here eyes. She pulled the jumper off and swiped the sweat off her face with it and then handed it back to my friend.

This kind of behaviour I could tolerate. However we were having a chat and she was talking about her problems and I mine. She then turned to me and said "yes well my problems are much bigger than yours."

Her mum got ill around the time we were on holiday (one of the reasons we invited her). Two of my friends bent over backwards helping her, constantly inviting her out, ringing her and texting her to see how she was. Her mum got much better and yet she would still ignore the concern my friends were showing.

The help they gave her was never appreciated. She does like these women, she is just a very anti-social person. She would rather ignore these text than be polite and say no thank you, in fact I don't think she has ever once said thank you to them.

I have not seen this woman myself for a good two years.


I returned home after working away for the last 6 months. and after seeing my family, my friends organised a meal. I turned up a little late (10 minutes) and so everyone else was there and to my surprise so was this woman.

I know it sounds selfish but we spent all of 5 minutes talking about me and what I'd done and then the rest of the evening was talking about this woman. My friends know I dislike this woman and yet she was invited to the reunion/catch up meal.

aibu to be slightly pissed off about this?

I kind of feel like I am.

You've been away. They are all still hanging out together. This meal was an important gathering to you. To them perhaps just another night out? A great night out but not got the status you have it as.

Perhaps she was the one who had the idea of the meal?

I am not saying you are wrong, just they see it differently?

With the fruit and swordfish theres nothing wrong with it but you know chances are with it being abroad that it could make you have an upset stomach.

No she's definitely not part of the group. She didn't have contact with anyone for two years.

What does the rest of the group say about her? They know you don't like her, but what did they say?

how is swordfish and fruit more likely to make you ill on holiday?
surely things like buffet salads are the worst culprets?

or do you stick to fried full englishes?

Russina, nope I really don't agree. It's better to eat the local food than stick with boring British fry ups, like Brits in Spain and their awful pubs and restaurants when they could be enjoying tapas and rioja.

It sounds like they have been in contact with her more than you are aware of.
Or perhaps they don't know how much you dislike her.

But anyway, whatc I want to know is what did she eat at the meal? Fish? Fruit? Curry? Any jumpers harangued?

So the night was supposed to be all about you then.
