visitor wanted escort to buy eggs

My brother and his girlfriend came to stay in my share house in a trendy area with lots of good, cheap restaurants well within walking distance. Last time he came to stay he was single, chatty and easy-going and fun to have around, so I was looking forward to it.
On my day off and in the mornings I took them out to places I thought they'd like. I work from 3pm until 10pm. She informed me that he had refused to go out for dinner so they didn't have any when I was at work.
I gave them my bed, with mosquito net, and slept on the sofa. She informed me in the morning that he was annoyed by the mosquitos.
The day before they left she wanted to show her apreciation by making walnut pancakes, but we didn't have enough eggs. I wanted to rest far more than I wanted pancakes, so I tried to give her directions to the shops, but she wasn't having any of it; we had to go out (on foot) in the heat to find a shop open. My brother stayed on the sofa.
I was resentful. I made a snotty comment about her wanting to show off by making pancakes. She looked really offended. She loves cooking and is good at it. She felt she was doing something nice for me.
I suppose we were all being unreasonable, but from most unreasonable to least?

Gutted OP. Could you re write the OP and make it about your DH hiring escorts to buy his eggs please?

HelpmeobiMN · 22/08/2018 14:59

Most - your DB, for being a lazy arsehole

Then you, for being ungrateful when the girlfriend was trying to perform a nice gesture of appreciation

Then girlfriend, for being daft about fetching eggs

BarbaraofSevillle · 22/08/2018 14:59

I misunderstood in an even different way because to me, escorting visitors is something that happens in prisons and other secure facilities where visitors can't go anywhere on their own for safety and security reasons and in my many years experience of this, I have never needed to be taken somewhere to buy eggs.

It's funny how people interpret the same words in different ways.

Sounds like they are wasting the opportunity to try out all the restaurants in your area.

And if they want to eat in, I don't see why she or they couldn't have gone out for eggs. Don't they have smartphones to show them the way to the nearest shop if they can't remember and follow directions?

Or it sounds like your brother has changed, coinciding with appearance of new girlfriend.

Therefore, could he or she be depressed, abused or controlling

I also thought the prostitute was going to be providing donor eggs and was wondering why your visitor had told you this sordid master plan!

Most unreasonable to least = brother, you, girlfriend.
I quite fancy a walnut pancake.

flapjackfairy · 22/08/2018 15:03

Where do you live ? Am just interested as i have never had to provide a mosquito net for any houseguests.

3luckystars · 22/08/2018 15:06

Is there little bits of walnuts in the pancakes or just sprinkled on top?

TwoBlueShoes · 22/08/2018 15:07

I'm an escort, AMA.

What's the weirdest thing a client has ever asked you to do?

I knew this sick fuck who used to get me to go to the shop with him and buy eggs.

What would he do with the eggs?

You really don't want to know.

BarbaraofSevillle · 22/08/2018 15:08

Or are they ground walnuts, like a flour substitute, like you can do with oats?

Mummyoflittledragon · 22/08/2018 15:08

Your annoyance was misdirected. It should have been directed at your brother. It looks like sharing with the two of them for a holiday doesn’t work in your current set up.

3luckystars · 22/08/2018 15:09

I love walnuts, I think they look like little lungs.

LongSummerDays · 22/08/2018 15:13

Walnut pancakes? 😋

Dahlietta · 22/08/2018 15:13

3luckystars, nonsense! Walnuts look like brains - that's why they make you clever.
I'm as interested as you in the nature of this pancake though.

LuckyTwiglet · 22/08/2018 15:17

I thought this would be about your visitor hiring a prostitute to go and buy their groceries. I have to say I’m a tad disappointed.

Me too!

Tinkerbellisnotafairy · 22/08/2018 15:18

Gutted there is no sex worker buying eggs for kinky purposes. Please can someone start a thread like this??

OP have you considered that your DB's gf might be a bit controlling? You said that she said he was annoyed by the mosquitoes, and that she said he didn't want to go out for dinner.

Or not controlling, but that it's actually her who was pissed off but wanted to pass it off as your DB being the one who was annoyed iyswim?

steff13 · 22/08/2018 15:19

Most unreasonable was your brother, followed by you (was a snotty comment really necessary? making pancakes is hardly showing off; anyone can do it), and then least was the GF, who sounds like a fairly nice person.

steff13 · 22/08/2018 15:21

nonsense! Walnuts look like brains - that's why they make you clever.

In the shell they look like brains. Out of the shell, the halves look like lungs.

SoyDora · 22/08/2018 15:22

The reason I dont like walnuts is because they look like brains!

Cardiganandcuppa · 22/08/2018 15:25

Walnut pancakes sound dry.
Everyone that wanted them in this scenario WBU.
Even the prostitute.

Tinkerbellisnotafairy · 22/08/2018 15:25

I always thought walnuts looked a little Scrotesque....

StoatofDisarray · 22/08/2018 15:26

What city/area are you in? Although you live in a trendy area, does it back onto a rough area?

DarlingNikita · 22/08/2018 15:27

Or are they ground walnuts, like a flour substitute, like you can do with oats?

I'd guess this, if I had to.

BaronessBomburst · 22/08/2018 15:29

That was the most tantalising, clickable thread title ever.
You should consider a career in advertising, OP.

KinkyEggscort · 22/08/2018 15:30

Oh, wrong thread....

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 22/08/2018 15:34

I'm never sure about walnuts. Whenever I come across one in my food I always think I've broken another tooth Shock

checkingforballoons · 22/08/2018 15:34

I’m off to UkPunting to post a detailed review of the time I booked an escort to buy me eggs. I intend to finish it with ‘great comms, would recommend, I let her buy herself a Lion Bar with the change and she was most appreciative’
