To be a bit annoyed with friend?

So today we arranged to meet up and go for a few drinks this afternoon.
The two of us were going to have a catch-up.

Anyway I got to her house and she said she would ring her brother to drive us into town.
He says that he and his wife and mother in law/father in law are heading down too and we can jump in the taxi.
So we get into town and she says
"Oh we will go for a quick drink with these"
(Her brother /sister in law clearly didn't want us with them as he was rolling his eyes "
So we have the drink (they all chatting and I feel uncomfortable as I don't know them)
So basically we stayed with them all day,didn't go anywhere we were going too and stayed in dives all day.
My friend was really drunk and they kept talking about people I didn't know /things from the past etc.
I know it's nothing major but it totally ruined my day.

Why did you stay all day? I mean yeah I would be annoyed, but if I was annoyed at the situation I wouldn't stay all day and say nothing

I said "shall we go to "pub name" and she said
"No let's stay with these ,they are really fun,you will have such a laugh"
I couldn't say I was going home and look ignorant.

Aw. Are you back home now? Can you do something nice for you? Bubble bath and a face mask?
I don’t think you’re being unreasonable to be a little annoyed as you were out to have a “catch up” with HER, not her family. Plus, it was awkward for you. Hopefully it’s a one-off... if not, I’d be having a word with her. X

What a fucking diabolical day.
You have the patience of a saint. Next time meet her in town. Then go to a place of YOUR choosing.

Why would saying you’re going good home make you look ignorant? Confused.
You should’ve just made your excuses and left.

pippy002 · 26/08/2018 09:10

I left about 3 hours later.
She stayed till late.
After saying to her I'm coming out for drinks then leaving would have been so obvious it was because I wasn't happy.
It just seemed like a waste of a day.

But you weren’t happy.

So why didn’t you just go home?

IfyouseeRitaMoreno · 26/08/2018 09:15

OP, YANBU. There's nothing more annoying than someone who talks about people you've never heard of! I feel your pain. I have a friend like that and whilst I'd never give her up because of it, it does make meetings with her quite stressful. Is your friend often like that or was it because she was drunk?

IfyouseeRitaMoreno · 26/08/2018 09:17

But you weren’t happy.

So why didn’t you just go home?

I'm guessing she didn't want to hurt her friend's feelings? Does it matter why?

GreenPimpernel · 26/08/2018 09:20

But her friend had very little interest in anyone else’s feelings. The OP was obviously bored and left out and asking to leave, AND the BIL/SIL didn’t want the OP or her friend gave rashing. The OP was being wet and unassertive not to leave politely.

GreenPimpernel · 26/08/2018 09:21

GATECRASHING.

Feefeetrixabelle · 26/08/2018 10:18

People like that only take direct cues. So you should have left so she learnt that you weren’t happy. Otherwise she’ll do it over and over again.

pippy002 · 26/08/2018 15:51

I was probably being wet ..I just didn't want to seem rude.
I spent 3 hours pretending to know what they were talking ...smiling along..wonder I haven't got lock jaw.
