Friend spends the weekend with me then ‘reviews’ her experience, wtf!?

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?

very poor behaviour from her-

did she pay her way for the meal? buy you flowers/wine as a 'thanks for having me', or do anything pleasant to make her a welcome guest?

expatinscotland · 09/06/2018 21:41

If you only comment, she'll just delete it off her page, but if you put it on yours and tag her in, she can't get rid of her name on there. She deserves it, too. What a bitch.

user1491753603 · 09/06/2018 21:41

What a CF!!

Please please please post a reply to her! And then obviously let us know what happens.

lynmilne65 · 09/06/2018 21:42

Agree with pp Confused

JuicySwan · 09/06/2018 21:42

Cheeky bitch!! 😮😮😮

UghAgh · 09/06/2018 21:42

Why don’t you post a hilarious response then screen shot the lot of it. Remove anything identifiable and post it. Maybe it will go ‘viral’. 🙃

Go on. I dare you?

HopelesslydevotedtoGu · 09/06/2018 21:42

This is nuts.
I'm sure some of the people who Liked it had only scanned it and thought she was reviewing a B&B.
It sounds like maybe she is trying to be funny, does she sometimes gauge jokes wrongly?
Nevertheless I'd reply "what a shame you only gave us two stars. Sadly we can't accommodate you in July anymore, but I'm sure you'll find a paying establishment better suited, and the conversation less dry"

MrsKoala · 09/06/2018 21:44

I'd be replying something along the lines of 'had a rude old friend invite themselves for a visit, when she arrived it was clear her conversation skills had totally dried up - along with her dress sense. i'd give her 1 out of 10 for social graces and 6 out of 10 for comedy value. All in all i'd say 2 stars. We wont be inviting her again'

How fucking rude!

mimibunz · 09/06/2018 21:44

The fuck??

EustaciaPieface · 09/06/2018 21:44

I’d be fuming! Yes, please review her back!

Angie169 · 09/06/2018 21:44

I agree with others on here reply as you would do if this is been a hotel she was staying at ,,,,,,, dear CF thank you for your honest review of the non hotel that you stayed at without paying for if your requirements didn't meet the standard I would suggest you sleep in the nearest car park perhaps that will be more to your taste

KreigersClones · 09/06/2018 21:45

Some people have no concept of manners/decency.

Please respond with a guest rating at Buzz suggests!

AIBU to tell her to jog on?

YWNBU to reply with something far stronger!

BakedBeans47 · 09/06/2018 21:46

“I was pleased we’d bought some new scented candles. We’d bought them to make our guest feel welcome, but they had the very beneficial additional effect of masking the stench of her extreme flatulence”

Biscusting · 09/06/2018 21:46

She did contribute to meal costs and brought some nice wine. No red flags of the potential cheeky fuckery to come.

I’m quite hurt at the decor comments, even if it is bad humour, we’ve spent a lot of time and money refurbishing our place and she knows that.

Oh you MUST comment. Expat's suggestion is brill.

Cheeky mare.

HerRoyalNotness · 09/06/2018 21:49

😂😂 i think she’s having a bit of fun. I’d like a friend like that. Pass on my address. We’d get 1 star at best

expatinscotland · 09/06/2018 21:50

What a bitch. I'd just write on my wall because she'll just delete anything you put on hers. Totally uncalled for and mean is what she is.

expatinscotland · 09/06/2018 21:52

By all means, hand her over to HerRoyal. Everyone else thinks your so-called friend is fucking rude.

SilverySurfer · 09/06/2018 21:52

She is obviously completely bonkers but that is no excuse for doing this. I would tell her to stick her 'review' where the sun don't shine and she was not welcome in my home again.

You would never have this problem if I ruled the world, things like FB etc would be un-invented and non-existent Grin

Lookatyourwatchnow · 09/06/2018 21:53

That is so, so weird.

TulipsInAJug · 09/06/2018 21:53

What about replying with something like this:

Old friend from uni invited herself to stay. Barely recognised her as she's aged so much in X years. Conversation was dull and unintellectual but DH, bless him, pretended to be interested in celebrity gossip to humour her. After a tedious couple of days we breathed massive sigh of relief when she finally left.

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 09/06/2018 21:53

There should be a MN CF of the Month award. @MNHQ? 😆

Takfujuimoto · 09/06/2018 21:53

😂😂😂 no, no you have to invite her back but make an extraordinary effort to do the absolute worst hosting job of all time.

When she's gone ( she'll never want to come back ) sit back and wait for the review, then come and tell us all about it again.

Please!
