Lost my best friend over my period!!

Some one please tell me I'm not insane!! As the title says I actually lost my close friend over my period last weekend!!
Last weekend I met with my friend who i have known 19 years! In weathersspoons.
I was wearing beige trousers and it was coming up to 10pm and getting very busy as it's on a bar stretch pubs everywhere.
And to my absolute horror i leaked all over myself! I was not due until four days later so didn't expect this at all and no bodily warning signs no cramping, any way we see sat down at this time in one of the booths, my friend was wearing a red dress with a jacket AND bought her coat.
I quickly told friend I just leaked and my crotch was now bright red ( the shame ) and could I please use her jacket to just tie around my waist casually just to get home to change/ wash
She said NO!
I said please, il wash it if anything gets on it and give it right back the next day! I was pretty much begging her !
She refused and said no she paid to much money for it and didn't want it ruined!
I was so bloody upset I got up said " cheers mate" drank my drink and left!
Humiliation as I walked out the busy place with red all in between my legs ( don't know if anyone noticed) it's was ALOT of blood :(
I understand she didn't want to get blood on it but I just wanted it to cover my bum to quickly run out, I live down the road!! I would of washed etc and come back, I'm really upset ild never let her or anyone of my friends feel the way I did that night. I texted her two days ago but have no reply. What the hell is her problem! Was I unreasonable to ask to quickly use her jacket ?

Shock

How selfish - I honestly would lend my coat or jacket to a completely random woman so she could at least exit the pub with dignity in that scenario.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 26/08/2017 12:10

Sorry your "friend" wasn't supportive to you. That's the thing with friendships, though. You find out who your friends are when you need them.

Mulberry72 · 26/08/2017 12:11

OMG, that's awful OP! What a complete cow to refuse to help you.

TipTopTipTopClop · 26/08/2017 12:11

A good friend would have instinctively said yes, and worried about the jacket upon its return.

She should fuck off.

Forheavenssake · 26/08/2017 12:12

The toilet idea and get her to get clean cloths was a good idea but tbh I needed to clean myself as it was a large splash lol! And her coat small leather jacket type coat would wouldn't if gone around my waist I don't think

So she did not even call or text to check if you were ok and to apologise. You text her but she did not reply. So she expected you to sit in your own body fluids for the rest of the evening uncomfortable and humilated, to keep her company. Sorry she was not the friend you thought she was. She did not even try to help you, like come on, lets find a clothes shop, get you some pants, trousers and san pro. Or lets ask if they have a lost property so you could borrow something to cover you up whilst you get home. Nasty.

MoonfaceAndSilky · 26/08/2017 12:13

It should be you ignoring her texts, not the other way around. What a bitch.

Forheavenssake · 26/08/2017 12:14

No problem with me lol
I recently had coil fitting and was warned periods would become painful and heavy. Just didn't expect that heavy !

That's awful! I would give my coat to a stranger in that situation, in fact I once lent my boots to a girl who had broken her heel on a night out - I was about to get into a taxi anyway and she was planning on carrying on her night so I got her to add me on Facebook and gave her my boots and got in the taxi barefoot - she returned them the next day. I don't understand how/why some people can be so mean and selfish Flowers

MissTify · 26/08/2017 12:14

She's no friend. You are well rid!

A black m&s jacket. Really expensive Hmm. Many of their clothes are washable and if not blood in a black jacket cannot stain if dry cleaning required. I'd bcfuming. Do you want to lose your friend over this? She let you be humiliated. If it was a one off I'd perhaps get past it. What other behaviour does she display ?

Emmageddon · 26/08/2017 12:18

What an unpleasant woman, you don't need a friend like her.

lunar1 · 26/08/2017 12:21

Bin her, I once gave my jumper to a stranger in the pub toilets who was in the same situation!

Qwerty111 · 26/08/2017 12:21

I lent my mac to a stranger in the loo at a shopping centre in this situation. Anyone would. I'm not even a particularly kind person.
You are well rid of this idiot. Was this a bolt from the blue or is she normally selfish?

SparklyMagpie · 26/08/2017 12:23

I would NEVER do that to a friend. I'd have given you my jacket and offered to pop to yours for a new set of underwear,pads and clothing or atleast styled it out and come with you

Thats awful!

Forheavenssake · 26/08/2017 12:23

I don't want to loose her of course not but I haven't heard from her since one mutual friend told me that I apparently got up and left her in a pub on her own! So that's why I messaged her I said
" hi love feeling a little down. I saw XX today she said you told her that I left you there, I'm sorry you thought that but I had to get home and you made me feel like crap." Etc etc
But no reply.... yet

SparklyMagpie · 26/08/2017 12:25

A PP makes a point, i'd have offered my jacket or help to anyone else in the same situation

Not a friend

Forheavenssake · 26/08/2017 12:26

She's telling others I left her there !
This is the truth of it.
After asking several times if I could use jacket I got up finished my last bit in my glass and says. Cheers Mate and walked out.

TakeMe2Insanity · 26/08/2017 12:26

She was never your friend.

OliviaBenson · 26/08/2017 12:29

Did you tell the others the true story? She's no friend.

highinthesky · 26/08/2017 12:29

I wish this thread was a wind up

Then your so-called friend has a total compassion deficit. She needs to see a psychiatrist before she starts drowning kittens.

Mummyoflittledragon · 26/08/2017 12:30

Sounds like she may be a manipulative bitch. She's possibly already worked out you are likely to bin her off and is getting the boot in and rallying friends to her side. Cover your back.

Forheavenssake · 26/08/2017 12:32

I told our friend the TRUTH and she was just as shocked as me tbh
