AIBU not to pay her for a party she threw

[ahphoque]

Last week I was visiting a friend and she had been invited to a party by a new friend of hers. I had previously met this friend but don't know her particularly well ikywim. Anyways, since my friend had only recently met this woman, she asked me to go as her plus one and so I went along with her. The party was quite dull and the woman throwing it was a bit off with my friend and rather rude towards me so we left after an hour or so.

We didn't have anything to eat (she had laid out crisps and the like) and brought a bottle of (rather expensive) wine each aswell as flowers.

This morning I received a text from party woman demanding £5 to cover the cost of the food she laid out. Now there were at least 60 people in attendance and there is no way she spent £300 on food.

AIBU to not pay her as I didn't eat any of the food and already gave her flowers and wine?

What would the ransom be? A fiver or some posh crisps? But if not paid in a timely fashion it increases by a bag of kettlechips every hour!

Strange, I'd love to know what the book was and if it contained any other solid gold insults.

I too am dying off slowly not knowing the outcome of this.

(Taps fingers) I'm still waiting for my fiver

Do you think the fact that the OP has disappeared means the whole thing was made up? WHY?? WHY do people do this??

COME BACK OP!!! Tell us what you have done!!

(over-invested much? )

Or Crisp Lady has killed her ...

I wondered that too weekend

Say it isn't so OP.

Or perhaps the Crisp Lady has taken the op to her house and is forcing her to sing and dance.

some people are unbelievable!!
