To think DD's so called friends are complete witches?

[Meandyouandyouandme]

DD1 is at a big festival today, she was going on her own, paid £100 for a ticket, but was meeting up with people she vaguely knows when she got there. She was fine with that, none of her friends nearby, either, wanted to go, or could afford it.

Earlier this week on Twitter, one of the DJs playing at the festival tweeted that he would give some free tickets out. She tweeted him, and he said he would put one of her friends on the guest list. So she got a free ticket for one friend, then another friend tweeted this DJ, and he tweeted my DD back, and she said yes that's my friend too, can she have a ticket, so she's got two free tickets for these two friends.

Well it turns out they've dumped her on her own and gone off together. I'm so cross for her, I mean who does that. Obviously she's not considering them her friends any more, just feel really sorry for her.

Fortunately she's with one of the other people she was meeting. She was only out with these girls last week, one of them had a birthday, but tellingly the only people out were the three of them plus the birthday girl's sister. So she obviously doesn't have many friends.

Anybody have any words of wisdom on how to deal with such shitty friends? I am assuming IANBU,

I agree barbarian. And I also think it's rather unpleasant for there to be an assumption that because DD got them free tickets they should be tied to her for the day and only watch what she wants. And also the OP has quite clearly said that they haven't left her on her own, she's with other friends. I think it's a bit childish for OPs DD to complain in those circumstances. If she'd been left alone I could understand the upset and decision to cut them out. But they haven't, a group of friends has split off in to two and that is fairly normal and not unkind. And it's definitely something a 22 year old should take on their stride.

I also think the comments about the girls having no friends and being jealous is unkind too.

And you know what, it's Creamfields. It's highly likely they've necked a load of pills and are off their tits dancing in front of a stack of speakers and barely know what planet they're on let alone who's texted them.
