To leave friend sitting in her car outside my house as she's arrived 90 minutes early

Did she know you were peeping for a interview? Could she help you?

Oh god no. There’s nothing worse than when people try to “help” with something like this. Many years ago, a friend badgered me into doing a mock interview with her and it was horrendous. She didn’t berate me over my personal life like Uncle Bryn in Gavin and Stacey, but it was close.

Why are people talking like the friend is still sitting outside 24 hours later? And given the OP never returned, the whole thing is probably a wind-up anyway.

Bashing her friend on here is obviously a nice thing to do then? She wasn't harming anyone being outside. She didn't ask to come in, her friend was polite enough. Things to do? What like come on mumsnet and write a post. I find that quite peculiar. Obviously not close friends as you would have just messaged her and said. Why are you waiting outside 90 mins early, come in and sit down while I just faff around

oh ffs. Op is a one and done

This

🤣

Of course I’d let my mate in. Bloody hell. You wrote a post on MN so you’re not that busy.

I'm assuming she's gone home now 😁

She was ok to find her way home in the dark though? Anyway I'm assuming @youretooearly kept her waiting until exactly the arranged time and her friend got so pissed off at being kept waiting she murdered her in a fit of rage hence why there's no further update!

It is annoying when people arrive ultra early but I get why she has - /it's hard to navigate to new places in the dark.

I'd bring her in sit her with a tea and the TV and say I'm peeping for a interview be with you in 30mins.

I would def not leave a friend sitting in tgeur car in this weather. If you can be anything, ke kind.

She is your friend. Why would you leave her outside in her car!!

not much choice this time of year. there are ways to mitigate the effects, like not driving to unfamiliar places in the dark.

Frightening to think these drivers are actually out on the roads at night!

Some people suffer with night blindness or struggle with headlights and hate driving in the dark. Especially when there’s lots of standing water on the road due to heavy rain. Two of my friends have this issue so not uncommon

You don’t have to entertain her, just let her sit on th sofa with a cuppa.

Why are we sympathising with someone who ‘didn’t want to find her way in the dark’?! How old is she? Doesn’t she have sat nav/google maps?

I'd roll my eyes but still let them in.

Seriously she is sitting outside in her car in January in the dark. And you are her friend. And you are posting on this thread asking if you should let the poor soul in!!Beyond weird. She miscalculated. She hates driving in the dark. She tucked up.
But FGS ask her in. Give her a drink and get on with your own stuff.

I agree with the majority of the above. Its winter. Ask her in give her a drink and explain your time is commited until 6pm. Tell her she is welcome to relax with the television until then.
I cant believe you saw her there half an hour ago and didnt acknowledge her. Dear heavens .Meet her outside and preferably half way next time.

What did you do? What time
was your guest allowed in?

Of course you should leave her in. Why would you leave her sitting in the car if she's your friend? Let her in give her the remote and get in with your work until 6.

In my opinion it's just as rude to arrive early as it is to arrive late.. your friend , by sitting outside, is putting pressure on you to have her over earlier than you told her. RUDE..
Id be angry too.

YANBU. I HATE it when people turn up massively early. I'm talking about an hour or more,not 5 or 10 minutes. One of my DBs used to do this. He was incapable of actually arriving anywhere at the time arranged, always had to be at least 45 minutes early,if not more. I get the impression that some people think they are doing you a favour by being early. A case of 'Look,I'm not late, aren't I considerate?'. No you're not! Just get here at the bloody time you were asked to! To be honest,I'd rather someone be 15 minutes late than an hour early!

You had time to write this post when you could of done some interview pprep,do your interview prep in bed, nutter…
