Friend inviting Friend

[Mammie81]

Friend and I have breakfast on sundays as we live in the same area and the cafe is just up the road.

Sometimes other joint friends come along/we mix up where we go within our local area etc

He just called and asked if he could bring along a friend who lives about 5 miles away. And closer to the city so traffic a nightmare. Ive said ok, no probs, as I dont mind anyone tagging along at all.

However, it now turns out shs not willing to travel. So we have to go to where she lives. I dont know the caliber of cafes in the area (wood green, north london) and am a bit at having to now drive myself and friend over to meet her.

AIBU

Ive never met her either. Not that it matters, just that I wouldnt come along to another friends meal and expect them to come to me?

YANBU. If she doesn't want to travel, tell her to sod off, cheeky cow!

that would irritate me too. Just say the thing you like best about your sunday breakfast is that it's close to you.

then don't.

You don't 'have' to.

tell your friend to meet up with her alone and make a different arrangement to have coffee with your friend.

"sorry, when we made this arrangement it was my understanding that we were meeting at X as usual. You'll have to go on your own if you are changing the location. We can meet up at our usual place next week."

If you go, go. But don't go resenting it. You have a choice.

I'd just say no

Im going to give it a miss I think. He can get himself over to Wood Green, or she can get herself over to us! Cheeky mare!

Good idea, just go to your usual cafe
breakfast on yourown sounds yum!
Or will you have kids with you?

Are you saying that he also wants you to drive you both over there. Coz that's not cheeky. That's fucking cheeky!

I agree with you, just give it a miss.

Jeez, of all the times he has to see that friend, why does it haveto be a sunday morning. People can be strange sometimes can't they?

No kids but I sometimes enjoy a lone breakfast with the sunday papers! In fact, maybe hes done me a favour

YANBU. Cheeky cow.

YANBU

Oh, I would KILL for Sunday breakfast on my own in a cafe.....

Yes, he has done you a favour.
Instead of making polite conversation with an awkward cow you can eat and read at your leisure (jealous emoticon)

YANBU
Look at it like this though...

He wants breakfast with another fiend but you're free to join them...

I wouldn't bother either.

friend...not fiend...though who knows??
