Friend has been good friend during our uni days. We’ve loosely kept in touch over the years, but different career choices, interests, distance and children have pushed us in different directions.

She messages me out out of the blue to ask about staying a weekend with us. We live in an area popular with tourists.

I’m feeling a bit put out, as don’t fancy hosting, but we had no concrete plans and thought it would be a nice catch up.

Anyway she stays we have dinner out one night. She’s spends a day visiting a popular attraction and we have a nice evening in with a selection of nibbles, pizza, cheese and wine etc. Uneventful, pleasant weekend I feel.

Now i’ve just been browsing FB and looked on her page to see if she’d posted any pictures. To find she’d written quite a lengthy post about her stay. I don’t want to copy and paste, but basically it’s along the lines of, ‘had an okay weekend with Biscusting, staying at her place. Found the breakfast underwhelming and conversation with her DH a bit dry.
The sleigh bed in the guest room was too high and I bumped on the wooden edge so often I have a bruise. The room was too small.’.....the WiFi speed was poor at best’

She goes on to critique the decor and waffles on a lot about the tourist attraction she visited. Then ends the post with ‘all in all i’d give her two stars’

Wtaf is this!? Has she mistaken FB for trip advisor and my home for a hotel!?

We don’t have many shared friends, but people have liked her bloody post. 13 people!

Now the thing is she talked about coming back at the end of July for an exhibition and we made relatively firm plans about her return.

AIBU to tell her to jog on?

Omg. No, yanbu. I'd be telling her more than that.

OhDearMavis · 09/06/2018 21:26

Yanbu. I'd comment 'well you won't be staying again will you '

ladyandthechocolate · 09/06/2018 21:27

😮 OMG
The bloody cheek of it.
I’d be tempted to message directly and ask what she’s playing at.

RubyJack · 09/06/2018 21:27

YANBU

ScreamingValenta · 09/06/2018 21:27

Is this an attempt at humour which has misfired?

NormskiNamechange · 09/06/2018 21:27

WTAF? Confused

KateGrey · 09/06/2018 21:27

Jog on?! She can fuck off to the far side of fuck off and if she asked why I’d quote her review back at her. What is wrong with some people?!

Cadencia · 09/06/2018 21:27
Shock
JobbyBum · 09/06/2018 21:27

I’d be posting a somewhat ‘dry’ response on her Facebook.

MilkAndCookies1 · 09/06/2018 21:27

Is this for real?? Please confront her!!

SamHeughansLeftEyebrow · 09/06/2018 21:28

I'd be putting a pointed comment on the photos to say that as the experience was clearly so poor that you assume she has changed her mind about coming back next month.

GertrudeCB · 09/06/2018 21:28

Critique her right back Grin

MrsMozart · 09/06/2018 21:28

What the fuck?!

Tell her to jog on.

TulipsInAJug · 09/06/2018 21:28

She sounds awful. I'd terminate the friendship. How rude.

Elspeth12345 · 09/06/2018 21:29

Of course not.

Are you not facebook friends? How did she think that was ok?

Could you write

Hi Two-stars,

Sorry we're busy in July,

All the best, Biscusting

??

Musicalstatues · 09/06/2018 21:29

Whaaaaat?! I don’t think I could manage to resist putting something on her post even if it was just a ‘??’

Buzzlightyearsbumchin · 09/06/2018 21:29

Grin that is so cheeky.

Rate her right back

CF friend invited herself to stay. Conversation was incipid at best. Bathroom best avoided for 20 minutes after she used it but she didn't moan about the loud shag that Mr Bisgusting and I had so I would give her 7/10 for discretion. Overall I'll give 1 and a half stars

Pinkyponkcustard · 09/06/2018 21:29

Tell her to fuck off!

Vile article!

purpleme12 · 09/06/2018 21:29

I'd have to comment at that

Petalflowers · 09/06/2018 21:29

That does so rude. I guess it was posted as ,banter’, ie. tongue in cheek.

However, to make picky comments about your room, fudge etc is rude.

Does her Facebook page have lots of similar reviews.

Slimtimeagain · 09/06/2018 21:29

What the hec... I'd definitely question her on this. No friend would do that

Not sure about humour, she does have form for posting on FB in the tone of a diary entry. Hmm
