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?

Wow! that's shocking and nasty. Definitely jog on at the very least!

expatinscotland · 09/06/2018 21:35

WTF!? I'd post on my own wall, tagging her in, 'Wow. Had who I thought was a friend invite herself to my place for the weekend. Took her out to dinner, she ate my food, slept in my guest bed, drank my wine. Then had the audacity to write up a TripAdvisor style critique, giving us 2.5 stars when she wasn't tended to in the 5-star style she's used to. And had the audacity to plan to use us as a crash pad in July. PMSL! As IF! Book at hotel, 'Friend', jog on and don't contact me again, you cheeky cow.'

Ginpasta · 09/06/2018 21:35

Omg 😲 this is beyond rude! You Defo have to confront her in some way.......and then ditch her! Xx

Mountainsoutofmolehills · 09/06/2018 21:35

Brilliant.

Send her a bill. No, just remove her as a contact and never see her again. I can't see the point. She used your place for a cheap weekend away and slated you. WTF. She isn't a nice person.

acornsandnuts · 09/06/2018 21:36

Ya kidding me. She is clearly barking.

ArchchancellorsHat · 09/06/2018 21:36

Dear Ms CF, thank you for staying in our humble non-hotel. I am sorry you did not find your stay up to scratch but as you didn’t pay anything you really have no right to complain about the free accommodation. Sadly, we will be closed to bookings should you ever wish to stay again.

I'd paste this into the FB comments. She can bugger off and book a hotel if she wants to come back.

chocolateworshipper · 09/06/2018 21:37

Post on FB "I'm delighted to announce that you have won the MN CF of the month award"

PuppetOnAString · 09/06/2018 21:37

Reply in Trip advisor style and put that as her stay was clearly so awful she won’t be staying again.

MyOtherUsernameisaPun · 09/06/2018 21:37

Omg omg omg genuinely can't believe she would do this!!! What a cheeky bitch!!! So not ok - tell her to fuck off ans pay for a bloody hotel

WomanWithAltitude · 09/06/2018 21:37

Wow. YADNBU to tell her to fuck right off!

champagneplanet · 09/06/2018 21:38

Please please please post expatinscotland's reply, brilliant Smile

expatinscotland · 09/06/2018 21:38

Sense of humour, my arse. You'd have to be a maggot to find that funny.

Stompythedinosaur · 09/06/2018 21:38

Definitely post the reply!

Cagliostro · 09/06/2018 21:38

WTF! Comment and watch her squirm

keyboardkate · 09/06/2018 21:38

Did friend pay or contribute?

FK it. It is over, never again IMV.

expatinscotland · 09/06/2018 21:39

If you tag her in on your own wall, she can delete from her wall, but everyone else can see it on yours.

What a bitchy thing of her to do.

IggyAce · 09/06/2018 21:39

Go with Buzzlights suggestion. She would no longer be considered a friend.

Ginger1982 · 09/06/2018 21:39

PLEASE post a comment and screenshot it!!

BakedBeans47 · 09/06/2018 21:39

Actually I would be tempted not to comment just now but wait until the July event comes round. It would serve her fucking right to have the door slammed in her face and either not find anywhere else or have to pay exorbitant prices

YorkieDorkie · 09/06/2018 21:39

WTF???????

UghAgh · 09/06/2018 21:39

I can’t imagine that her other friends on Facebook wouldn’t have torn her apart over that. It’s too weird. The only explanation is that it’s a joke.

Lulu1919 · 09/06/2018 21:39

Simply
RUDE
some FB response is required !!!!!

KingIrving · 09/06/2018 21:40

Or
As you badly rated your stay at our house, I believe you will not want to repeat the experience and may I suggest you will be more comfortable at the Sheraton/ Four seasons/ or whatever luxurious hotel there is , and here is a link for your convenience.

MadMags · 09/06/2018 21:40

Honestly, don’t let this go! And don’t wring your hands about it.

This is hardly a friend you will see again so no point in maintaining relations as it where.

Also, she’s a cunt.

Hissy · 09/06/2018 21:40

No fucking way!!
