We went to a cafe yesterday
We got there at 2pm and as we walked in they said all they had left was jacket potato or prawn sandwiches /ham and egg pie
I said to my friend I will get the jacket potato as I don't like any of the other choices.
My friend she was getting the ham and egg pie.
She was stood in front
Then she said actually il get a potato instead
We got to the front and I said "can we get two jacket potatoes please"
The lady said they only had 1 left and my friend pipe up "oh il take that please with Tuna" what you going to get ?
I double check what they have and say again I don't like anything else so il just get a tea.

Then she sat there and smirked "oh can't believe they only had 1 left "

Wouldn't you have just had something else ? She liked pie
I would of just to be kind

Well I would have. But some people are twats

TwinklyRoseTurtle · 06/01/2025 11:42

She doesn’t sound very nice, I wouldn’t go out with her again as what she seemed to do was spiteful? Very strange

Enko · 06/01/2025 11:42

Yes I woild have got something else or.gone elsewhere.

IfUCantDance · 06/01/2025 11:43

She’s a nasty arsehole. No friend would do this. I would have had to say something.

Dandeliontea123 · 06/01/2025 11:43

Has she done this kind of thing before? Doesn't sound like much of a friend, tbh.

saveforthat · 06/01/2025 11:44

What did she say when you said "Oh can I have the jacket because I don't like anything else and you said you would have the pie"?

BigSilly · 06/01/2025 11:44

Why didn't you kljust say that there was nothing else you liked?

Goody2ShoesAndTheFilthyBeast · 06/01/2025 11:45

Twat.

Pigsinblankets13 · 06/01/2025 11:45

Hopefully it wasn't very nice!
She sounds like a knob head

mirandabaileyy · 06/01/2025 11:45

@saveforthat why would I say that? I had said twice I didn't like anything else
It was clear as day
I had said I won't get anything as I don't like anything else

mirandabaileyy · 06/01/2025 11:46

@BigSilly I did twice
I said I'm getting a jacket as I don't like anything else
Then when she said what you going to get as I'm having the potato -I said I can't get anything,I don't like the other choices

Shes not a friend.

Unexpecteddrivinginstructor · 06/01/2025 11:47

Could you not have just said that you would go somewhere else both to the friend and the cafe owner?

Most cafe jacket potatoes are revolting so that's quite likely.

I think I'd have walked out and found somewhere else TBH.

Randomontheinternet25 · 06/01/2025 11:48

I presume you left her to eat her jacket potato & didn't sit and watch.
She's selfish

EveryKneeShallBow · 06/01/2025 11:48

Well, she’s not a friend. Assuming you needed to eat, I’d have walked out and left her to it. Then blocked. Smug bitch.

GameOfJones · 06/01/2025 11:49

She isn't a friend, only a right bitch would do what she did.

Jellyslothbridge · 06/01/2025 11:49

You could have had half the jacket each, not good form from the friend.

Devastated999 · 06/01/2025 11:50

She either misunderstood that you didn’t like anything else, or she’s a nob. I think that I’d have fumed inside, but really you should have left her there to find some other cafe for you to have something to eat. Then I would consider if she’s the type of friend you want. Is it a one off regarding unkind behaviour towards you?

FoxtrotOscarKindaDay · 06/01/2025 11:50

Why didn't you just leave and go somewhere else for lunch? No one forced you to stay and not have any lunch.

MounjaroOnMyMind · 06/01/2025 11:50

She's shown you her true character - selfish and enjoying watching you when you're upset - so you'd be crazy to stay friends with her.

ChaToilLeam · 06/01/2025 11:51

She‘s selfish, spiteful and not a friend. Don’t have anything more to do with her.

Eyresandgraces · 06/01/2025 11:53

I would have let friend get her order in and then said I’m eating elsewhere and left her there to ‘enjoy’ her potato in peace.

MinnieBalloon · 06/01/2025 11:55

Yeah I would have just walked out 🤷‍♀️

verycloakanddaggers · 06/01/2025 11:55

At the point the info about only one JP was known and your friend said she would take the JP, I think I would have said something like 'we need to go somewhere else because there are not enough JPs for us both to order something we want'.

If your friend said she was staying at that point you leave her to it and go elsewhere or home. The menu has to work for both people.
