To be hurt by my friend's comment

Away for the weekend with a group of friends. I have pitched in by cooking a meal last night - I was asked if I would by the organiser - and generally helping with clearing up and keeping the kitchen tidy.

I asked one of the group to pick up some plastic glasses when they were out today, but they forgot. I was paying and thought it would save us having to wash a load of wine glasses (which don't fit in the dishwasher) tomorrow when there will probably be some sore heads.

Mentioned in passing to the person who is my closest friend 'oh x forgot the glasses' and she was really nasty to me then said sorry very insincerely and literally laughed in my face.

I was shocked and hurt - I have actually cried in private, probably because I'm tired after a late night last night.

just leave the glasses outside, when they need them or finally realise they're there just remind said person you did ask them to bring the glasses in. As for rude friend - next time someone reacts like that to you just reply with the MN classic: 'did you mean to be so rude?'

Are you perhaps a bit hormonal OP?

AliceLidl · 23/05/2015 19:32

Sugar I think the OP wanted someone to buy some plastic glasses while they were out, rather than tidy some up from outside.

OP said she was paying for them and thought it would be less work than washing them.

[th [thanOP. I don't enjoy group holidays and find little tensions build up into resentment and a comment like that could tip me over the edge. I'm sure this says more about me than the people I go on holiday with but I know how you feel. Have some Wine and hopefully it'll all blow over.

Aargh the Android app really doesn't like the flowers emoticon but you get the sentiment hopefully!

Not sure why you would class anyone a friend that say's horrible things to you, makes you cry and laughs in your face?

LittleIda · 23/05/2015 21:31

People didn't ask what the comment was because they were bored, they asked because the op asked if she was unreasonable to be upset by it and they had no idea without knowing what the comment was.

Struggling to think of a 'really nasty' response to "x forgot the glasses", was it something along the lines of: "well you were a complete fuckin cunt for expecting her to get them, you always spoil everything with your desire for bastard plastic"?

Is that it??

ginslinger · 23/05/2015 22:30

If you expected me to drink from a plastic glass when here are real glass glasses then I'd be pretty shirty too

HelpMeSandBGurus · 23/05/2015 22:32

Yellow in my head that's the response even if the OP comes back and says different...

diddl · 24/05/2015 08:43

Perhaps the person who was asked to get the glasses moaned to the other friend & the other friend (wrongly) snapped at OP.

I'd be annoyed at being asked to get plastic glasses unnecessarily, but hopefully I'd just say that no, I wouldn't get them as there were glasses available!

CrystalCove · 24/05/2015 08:45

What was the point of this if you didn't say what your friend said?

bigbumtheory · 24/05/2015 11:45

Hard to tell if she said something unpleasant and then compiled the unpleasantness with an insincere apology or you were very oversensitive and she hurriedly insincerely apologised just to stop the reaction.
