I am waiting to misscarry and that I am skint. Friend A knows this and suggested we go for a night out tonight. I live close to town and my friends all live twenty minutes drive away.

They don't drive. Every time we go out friends expect me to pick them up and then they walk to town from mine. Get a taxi home. Friends all have a drink before going out while I can't because I've got to pick them up.

Tonight friend A asked me to overload my car by having 5 passengers I said 'no'.
So friend asked me to make two trips, I said tbh I don't feel like going out as I am depressed. So friend A texts and has the cheek to ask " will I still pick them all up so they can go out"

I feel really angry. Like they take me for granted and just take the piss.

I wouldn't confront them either as by the sounds of them they wouldn't give a shit Hmm
Distance yourself.

Whatisaweekend · 26/09/2014 16:59

Good grief!! That is bordering on inhuman! I would tell them what I thought of them and then tell them never ever to contact you again. To call them selfish shits is being rude ...to shits!!

Sorry for your loss Thanks

I am so sorry, I know how awful this feels.

Your friends are not friends. I would rage at them and tell them how utterly useless they have been, then close that door and don't look back.

worstdayever · 26/09/2014 17:36

Thats sickeningly selfish of them, I'd not reply but tell everyone what they'd done. And take care of yourself ..so sorry. .Thanks

Don't even honour her request with a response. How insensitive. They can get a cab.

thesmallbear · 26/09/2014 17:59

Your friends are a bunch of absolute wankers!

Cheeky sods! Cut them out, who needs enemies with friends like that.

Ticklemonster897 · 26/09/2014 18:09

You need to spend time with friends that care deeply for you. Get rid of these users

ExpiredUserName · 26/09/2014 18:10

Sorry to hear about your shitty friends and your miscarriage. Thanks

Look after yourself.

Spaceboundeminem · 26/09/2014 18:17

Thanks all. I have now stuffed myself silly with take away and am about to re read Harry potter. Win win.

Some friends aren't worth having.

Have a great time at Hogwarts!

GahLinDah · 26/09/2014 18:32

Flowers They are not friends. You don't have to think about it now but I'd definitely drop them. I wouldn't make a fuss or a big deal, I'd be consistently unavailable to them, let it fizzle out, they don't sound the sort to stick around if they aren't getting something out of it.
I'm so sorry about your miscarriage, they should be looking after you. What twunts.

cerealqueen · 26/09/2014 18:34

They aren't your friends, they are freeloaders. They should be coming to se you, not asking you to skivvy after them.

Sorry to hear of your miscarriage, take care.

Only1scoop · 26/09/2014 18:34

One word....

NoodleOodle · 26/09/2014 18:42

Have you tried to contact your best friend? If I were that person I'd want to know that you needed support too.

I'm sorry for your loss, and twatty 'friends'.

Aherdofmims · 26/09/2014 18:44

Tell them to F off!

MomOfABeast · 26/09/2014 19:14

Yuck! Do they expect you to sit up waiting until they feel like a lift home too? If I had a friend in your situation I'd be offering to bring chocolate and pizza round for a movie night. These people suck. I wouldn't even bother replying to their texts.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 26/09/2014 19:31

Wow, what utter arseholes.

If I were your friend, I'd be round with all the funniest films I could find, ice cream, takeaway and a stack of board games.

Ticktockblock · 26/09/2014 19:39

What utter shits they are :(

I hope your DH comes home soon. X

CarmineRose1978 · 26/09/2014 19:40

Do they know what you're going through? They sound horrible if so! (And selfish users anyway).

Text 'friend' A and say "I'm having a miscarriage. I'm not your fucking taxi service." Then delete them from your life, and curl up with a good book and your DH.

fuzzpig · 26/09/2014 19:43

Bastards! You've seen their true colours now.

Lizzylou · 26/09/2014 19:44

You poor thing, you deserve so much better Thanks
You have a nice relaxing evening, turn off your phone and tell them exactly why you are dumping them when you feel strong enough.

Spaceboundeminem · 26/09/2014 20:00

Thanks all it means a lot!
