To Be Upset That My Alledged Best Friend Has Invited My Ex-H Over For Sups?

369 replies

OhCallistoSolo · 01/11/2016 21:57

Looking for some perspective here as I really don't know if I'm being unreasonable or not.

I haven't been invited by my best friend for supper (or anything else for that matter) since January. My ex-h has been invited twice that I know of, and the other couple we all see have been regular visitors. My best friend, with and without her husband, has been for sups with me countless times. Every time she comes over she tells me that she must invite me round for sups. Am I being over-sensitive to feel really upset that my ex-h gets and invite when I don't?

No armysal I believe the OP's flow chart was

Sink estate parents drink special brew & smoke 40 fags

                                        \/

Sink estate parents feed children.

No?

Baaaaa

QuimReaper · 02/11/2016 11:23

My most beloved and very Hooraah friend from Somerset uses "sups", it did make me cringe when I first heard it. I don't think it sounds childish, just vair funny.

saucy I miss The Bill too. The proper version where every crime was solved in 28 mins with a wry smile and a raise of the eyebrow at the end, not the later one where it was all supposed to be sexy and gritty.

ScrubbedPine · 02/11/2016 11:28

Keep on justifying the bullying behaviour on here, and actually it doesn't matter to me whether the op is a troll or not.

How can it not matter? If the OP was here to start a class-based kerfuffle, which seems a perfectly valid interpretation of the available evidence, then she got precisely what she wanted, rather than being a victim of the Viper Hive Mind, surely?

I am not "somewhat holier-than-thou*

I am rude, opinionated and sweary, not holy!

I just fucking hate hate hate bullying, and the pack mentality. and the Ops "awful" comment was deleted, and people still came piling in anyway

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 02/11/2016 11:40

What it really says is "you're not one of us, you don't use the right words so actually we don't give a shit about your problems

yes, waves sadly at restless. we are in a minority here!

Butteredpars1ps · 02/11/2016 11:40

I love the word Kerfuffle.

ArmySal · 02/11/2016 11:44

Kerfuffle is a great word, or, as I like to call it, kerfuffs.

Does anyone watch Miranda? This reminds me of the blonde friend...😂

MissHooliesCardigan · 02/11/2016 11:51

I used to work with someone who would add 'ie/s' to practically every vowel eg housie, cupsie, cakie, sandwichie, chairsie, pensie. She referred to her partner as her boyfie. She was the main reason I left, it was intolerable and I've no idea how her boyfie put up with it.

Kitchen sups? Count me in.

frauleinsallybowles · 02/11/2016 12:07

Sups wtf!!! What the hell is sups??

Musicinthe00ssucks · 02/11/2016 12:10

WTAF is "sups"?

SpunkyMummy · 02/11/2016 12:15

What are sink estates?
And special brew?

Should I know these terms?

bibbitybobbityyhat · 02/11/2016 12:20

The people complaining about bullying on this thread are making fools of themselves. Imo.

sterlingcooper · 02/11/2016 12:21

Interesting that a lot of people take 'sups' to indicate that the user is super posh.

I have never heard it before, but on the surface I'd think it was kind of Essex slang like 'holibobs' 'well jells' etc.

petitpois55 · 02/11/2016 12:22

Anyone getting the image of the Tilly charachter in Miranda. Was is Sally Phillips? "Bear with bear with"
I think the Op deliberately set out to cause a stir, but if for any reason your post is real, then the sups thing makes her sound like a thick Sloan.

MrsGwyn · 02/11/2016 12:25

Apparently according to Calsbrug 70 per cent of sales of special brew were in fact to older professionals in management positions

I have never heard it before, but on the surface I'd think it was kind of Essex slang like 'holibobs' 'well jells' etc.

I was thinking more Essex as well.

ginghamstarfish · 02/11/2016 12:27

I am also from the NW and never heard 'sups' before today? Sorry OP but it does sound awful, like the aforementioned 'hollibob' and suchlike. You will always get flak for using words like this, even though they may be perfectly normal among your friends.
