AIBU Re : Plate returned from friend while on night out!!

[DurhamDurham]

I made a pie for a friend, cheese,potato and onion. She was having a family party and requested I make her a pie. Very happy to oblige.
Pie was eaten and enjoyed by her family, I had a lovely text from friend who said she would give me the plate back soon, no hurry I said, we have plenty.
Skip forward to last night when we were having a girls night out. I met friend and four others in a out in town. The friend had the plate with her. She gave it me so I asked what I was supposed to do with it all night? She said well if it's that much of a problem she would carry it. We went to for a meal and then to another pub, I felt guilty about her carrying it so I suggested we just leave it in the pub. It's only a plate.
She said she would feel too guilty and carried on carrying it around looking all martyred so I took the plate off her and left it in the pub.
She then, after a few more drinks, started crying ......about the plate!!

So was ibu about making a fuss about her bringing the plate on a night out? Was friend bu in bringing the plate and insisting on carrying it around for most of the night, even after I suggested we leave it?

My husband two girls think it's hilarious, oldest daughter is getting ready to go out and came to ask me which plate goes best with her outfit. So at least some good has come out of plate-gate

Could you not have got the staff in 'spoons to swap it for a more convenient side plate?

Then if/when friend notices: 'You BASTARD. You've shrunk me bloody plate int' dishwasher. That's the last pie I make you.'

I'd love to give you a serious answer but this is hilarious. A plate on a night out? What in the name of all that is holy was she thinking?!

This thread is hilarious and must go in Classics! Although I am now worried that, as a northerner, should I even deign to put myself above my social station and head to Lun-Dun that I would fuck up the crockery Etty-kut. Will bringing out a ramekin (yes we have those up north now, they marked 2015 by shipping them out the corner shops at the end of the slums we live in) be the equivalent of ordering gravy with chips in a Lun-dun chip shop? I.e a big social no no? Will they call The North and say "she's just not cut out for these parts. We're sending her back, along with Vernon Kay, that prick from the Apprentice and Ant & Dec. don't send anymore until they're properly South Trained".

DurhamDurham - Bless her, she thought she was doing a good thing and you made her feel so guilty she cried about a plate. A plate, not even a nice one at that. Oh dear!

John Lewis is working on a new range of crockery as we speak. It's called 'south Trained' and features a lovely range of side, dinner and pie plates, with a range of complementary bags. Word on the street is Cath Kidston's on board...

Lonny is it like a starter pack with instructions on what to take where?
Cath Kidston, oo-er! Expect dots and flowers

"Carried on carrying it around looking all martyrd"

Purely hilarious ....funniest thread in ages

Lakeland are on it already

Ha ha ha!!!

A cheese board maw? Surely that's a bit 'out there' even for 'London'?

Actually, it's all a bit last year

Seems that Lakeland have discontinued it.

maw maybe they heard northerners wanted to buy it so pulled it from their shelves

You can get great wifi reception if you wear it on your head!

Should have gone to a Greek restaurant and had a smashing time :)

In a moment of real stoopidity, I carted a huge bouquet around one night. The flowers were knackered when I finally got them into some water....

Next time, make sure you have a selfie stick with you.

Then you won't need the Tesco bag

We convinced a mate to bring a (joke) blow up doll on a night out once. (Leaving work pressie).

"Lola" was put behind the bar in the pub to keep her safe.

She was deflated & brought into the nightclub under his jacket & then re-inflated.

The DJ dedicated a song to her when he saw her on the dance floor.

But the plate is better!

Chippy

it's already in AIBU therefore won't get lost. so probably won't be "upgraded" to Classics

Ah eternal beau, definately johnson brothers i remember cos my mum had the whole set! Teapot cups serving dishes the lot, and offered it all to me many yrs later ( which i politely declined cos i had the summer chintz johnson set lol)

Best use of martyr I've heard in... Ever.

mawbroon A crockery anorak! Doesn't it clash.

Thought my mam was the only person the the world with the complete Eternal Beau set! There were even appliances with it on (toaster and kettle if I remember correctly). Mind you, she'd never wind up lending it to anyone, even with a pie on it. Oh no. That stuff only ever moved between kitchen and dining room. I remember the telling off I got for having one of the plates in my room once, do she'd never have taken it on a night out - and she's southern too!

dh once won me a giant dog teddy at the fair in London

dog had to be taken to the theatre, to dinner and then home on the tube

no forward thinking there .

I just had to Google Eternal Beau crockery.
Naice!

Ok which of you Eternal Beau people are my ex boyfriend's Mother?

Oh thank god that my mum stopped buying me Eternal Beau before she got to the appliances. I do have an Eternal Beau apron stuffed in a drawer somewhere......... I've never worn it.

Seeing my friend today and she will be pleased to know how many of us would have done the very same thing, and that she could well have set a new trend.

Cheers everyone

Durham you should wear it today in honour of this thread.
