Friend inviting everyone to everything

[FluffyFlowerFace]

AiBu? I have a lovely friend but this annoys me. Well arrange to go out say just 3 of us then we'll get messages to inform other people have been invited. Sometimes it would be nice to just be a smaller group and sometimes I am a bit out out that lots of other people end up joining on due to her invite!

I'm not a total grouch either or completely anti social, but having people join in unexpectedly can change the dynamic.

The friend who does this that I was talking about seems at the moment to be joined at the hip to someone who just dominates every conversation with stories about how good she is, how rich she is, and gossip about local personalities which firmly fits the three tier legal threshold for defamation. You can't have a conversation of any sort, as she has herself set to 'Broadcast'. And she speaks rapidly without pausing for breath so you can't jump in t change the subject either.

I won't go now to things with my friend. Even most recently when I suggested we meet up together for lunch to catch up, she brought her broadcasting friend as well, and all SHE could talk about was how she couldn't believe her arse of a husband had only bought her an audi instead of the Porsche cayenne she wanted for her birthday.

That's my idea of a boring lunch out. But, my preferred lunch of 2 glasses of wine and a catch up on my friend's job hunting escapades might have been hers.

Fucking hell Bitzy how bloody awful. Some people are utterly shameless and beyond vile.

Op I totally agree with you and other posters it’s bloody annoying

It was a bit of a shocker Theresamayscough. I'm often surprised at how socially inept people can be. A distant relative sat down next to me at my own brother's funeral and started the conversation with the opening line - "I haven't been very well, you know". Now that's just what the sister of a guy who died at 44 of a heart attack wants to hear, isn't it?

Yep I’ve got a friend like this, it works both ways, anniys me bacausr she invites someone I activley dislike and the on other occassions I know shes like better invite starkers so shes not left out. Er no and no. Defintley loosing respect gor her.

My friend has another friend who randomly brings her grown up dcs (25 & 28) with her when they arrange to go out for a girly meal. Never asks just turns up with them. Dcs come because they get a free meal from mum. That cuts the girly chat dead!!
