Trapped in a coffee shop because I’m being too British (LH)

[TaterHater]

I got a text this morning from a friend saying she was unwell and could we change our coffee date for tomorrow (no I’m working) but anyway- reply in the usual manner one does.

I decided to come into town and have a browse but coffee first- I grabbed my order and sat down and said unwell friend is in with a couple of friends and they’ve sat down. She hasn’t seen me yet.

I’m actually rooted to my seat and wondering how to get out without putting a bag on my head- no wait- I shouldn’t be embarrassed she should !

Every fibre of my being says sit and sip the coffee slowly and hope they get out fast or paper bag option.

I followed this from the start and I have to say I think it's my favourite ever ending to such a scenario!

I'd swan over and say "oh you do look awful, hope you feel better soon"

laziestsusan this thread started on Tuesday, think the OP may be home by now

Thanks laziestsusan I’ll make a dash for the door in a minute my latté’s getting cold.

😂

😂😂

Shouldn't have jumped from page 1 to page 17

That's right, you shouldn't, you are very lazy Susan …….

I'll get my coat

First awkward (and I’m guess the start of many) social engagements done at the school and I was ignored.

Part of me is but I’m mostly

The end.

Now I REALLY hope she gets food poisoning from her turkey this Christmas and a lump of coal.

Hold your head high (and your tits!) your great OP.

😂 @ laziest susan

Oh dear, well she's ashamed and furious at being caught out, I guess.

she's ashamed and furious at being caught out

I think so too. She's bloody rude though.

Ah I lost a friend over this exact same circumstance OP! We were friends 5 years and honestly it fucking stung!
I think I would have forgiven if she had sincerely apologised and explained but noooope. Just the awkwardness! You're well rid.

You really should have gone over and said how lovely it was to see her looking better!

She is not much of a friend to you.
First she cancels on you by lying
Then she ignores you.
Just dump her

I'd text her and ask if she needs anything bringing home. Let her text with the predictable 'i'll just stay tucked up in bed' then casually walk passed and say hi.

bemusedmoose, good idea but a few days late!
I take it you didn't RTFT

You win, OP. Ignoring you also shows how lacking in graciousness she is. You do well to because you have the upper hand.

@TaterHater just do exactly what you are doing and leave her to her own cesspit of mean girl shit.

She sounds really fucked up and pathetic. Not characteristics you'd seek out in anyone who is in your life on a social level so I'd consider it a blessing this happened.

She sounds like a complete dick and another mum I used to be friendly with. You sound like lots of fun and someone I could happily be friends with.

MNHQ - why the heck is this trending?? Last posted on 6 Dec...

What page is the outcome on? Curious and lazy minds need to know.

Am glad the current website glitch of putting non current threads in Trending has brought this thread up. Well done, OP, for styling it out

They just discussed this on Loose Women, as part of a problem / advice feature 😂😂
