Met a friend in city centre (we live in big city so lots of food places to choose) it was a warm day so I suggested a cafe that does nice sandwiches/jacket potatoes.
It was a busy Saturday plus football match on so was busy.
We got in and friend stood in front of me in the quee ..I said "looks like only one jacket potato left"
Friend says "yep il be having that"
Then the girl serving says "that's the last of our food left,only scones left"
I said to friend "shall we go somewhere else?"
Friend says "no I can't be bothered now we are here...il take the jacket potato please"
I look at her and say "what shall I eat then a scone for my lunch? "
(Don't even like scones)
She says "yeah why not and smirks"
We sit down and I'm pretty pissed off ..I say "what was the point in that? We are surrounded by other places to eat"
She then says "oh Louisa stop making a fuss over eating"
Then scoffs down her jacket potato as I sip my bottle of water.

You should have just left

JigglyTuff · 28/08/2017 12:37

more fool you for staying

Timeforabiscuit · 28/08/2017 12:37

Shes a cow!

Find somewhere else for lunch, preferably alone! Poor company is bad for the digestion after all!

Why did you stay? Confused

I went to Greggs for a sandwich after 5 mins and ate it on the bench till she was finished.

I seem to be reading so many threads on here with people claiming to have friends who act anything but friendly. You need to get a bit more choosy whose company you keep. This woman would not be my friend.

Ameliablue · 28/08/2017 12:38

I would have left her to it and gone elsewhere. She's not much of a friend.

Nocabbageinmyeye · 28/08/2017 12:38

Wtf Shock yanbu but you definitely should have left her to her scraps

Katescurios · 28/08/2017 12:39

I'd have suggested splitting the jacket potato in half and then having a scone each for pudding. If she said no I'd have said OK and gone somewhere else by myself

wowfudge · 28/08/2017 12:39

I'd have told her she was on her own. Who does that to a friend? Or anyone, quite frankly.

Also I think I was a bit taken back,you know when you think "did that really just happen?"

Grace789 · 28/08/2017 12:42

She's not a friend I can't believe you even sat with after she was so selfish!!

pasturesgreen · 28/08/2017 12:42

What great friends you seem to have Confused I'd have just left instead of sitting there like a lemon to drink your water on an empty stomach.

You weren't the only one having these issues, OP. Hmm

mamamac101 · 28/08/2017 12:43

Some friend!

purplecorkheart · 28/08/2017 12:43

I wouldn't be meeting her for lunch again

expatinscotland · 28/08/2017 12:43

I'd have fucked off right then and there. Stop being so wet. Oh, and based on her shit comments to you after, get rid of her entirely. She's not a friend. Just cut her off.

'Also I think I was a bit taken back,you know when you think "did that really just happen?"'

Nope, I don't. I've had that when I've witnessed a car accident, or when I saw a ghost. But never when a so-called friend has just behaved like a complete twat. And if I did it wouldn't have lasted to sitting down with her whilst she tucked in.
