My friend has commandeered my spare room!

[Nutmeggy]

Hi,

Possibly over reacting but a bit hacked off.

Friend of mine asked for a big favour last week and foolishly I said yes what is it.

She has a friend coming over to stay she said but no where for them to sleep as her sofa is already taken with another friend.

Reluctantly I agreed though have not met her friend before.

She bought her round just now, both quite merry and asked me to show her friend how tv works etc, ok, now she has left and this random friend has said she didn't realise she would be staying at mine and it was a surprise to her.

It's 8pm on a Sunday night and I have to entertain a slightly pissed stranger and make her dinner , a little annoyed by it all.

Sounds like you’ve been dropped in it, OP

Why do you have to make her dinner? Why can you not get her to sort out an airbnb?

Split a take away and have a couple of drinks with her? It doesn't sound fair on the friend either to have been expecting to stay and got moved on to a stranger.

No I wouldn’t make her dinner. Unless you’re making yourself dinner.

Also tell her she can’t stay for longer than tonight.

Not your problem.

I’d make her some toast and a cup of tea. Tell her she can’t stay another night.

Why hasn’t your friend stayed for dinner with her?? Seems a bit odd op

Makes no sense. She invited her friend to stay the night at hers, but then dropped her round to dinner at yours and left? What did the conversation go like as she left?

No you really don’t have to make her tea, make it clear she can’t stay more than tonight. I am glad I have no friends like this.

Thanks for replies, it's my friend who has been cheeky.
Poor woman who is here keeps apologising as she didn't know she was going to staying at a strangers
All very awkward

For how long? I'd be fucking raging and wouldn't have let her stay. Doesn't she have a floor/sofa?

Don't understand why neither of you questioned your friend before she left?!

I'd be finding out why friend has invited her friends to stay when she can't put them up! Ridiculous situation for you and the person who will feel very uncomfortable in your home.

Is it not a bit early for her to have been dropped off? Why hasn't your friend given her dinner?

Poor woman. She's clearly feeling as awkward as you are.
Make her some food, and get to know her. You might like her and make a new friend.

She might be a better friend to yiu that your other friend

that is shocking OP

What's your friend usually like? Sounds very strange

How bizarre.

The friend seems nice enough though (judging solely on the fact she keeps apologising and saying she didn’t know) so just make the best of it. Open the wine, order a takeaway and discuss how nuts your mutual friend is!

Hahahahahah your friend is the ultimate CF

I would suggest a takeaway and a long bath, is it just for tonight?

Your friend is unbelievable. She didn't even go for dinner with her?!

Why did you stay she could stay if you were not happy with it. How long did you say she could stay for

Yes it's very early to drop her off.

Weird all round and don't enjoy feeling awkward in my own home but know it's only for one night.

No more favours ever !

Think I would do the same as HappyPunky, share a takeaway and have a few drinks with her. Your friend hasn’t really been fair on either of you as didn’t explain it properly but you never know a great friendship may come from this...

I agreed for one night thinking she would be here to crash not here all evening

Not her fault as she clearly didn't know poor woman

Why on earth would you think you have to make her dinner?

She sounds perfectly fine - awkward and apologetic. Not her fault. Be polite to her (you might even like her!) but just have an early night.

I presume it’s just one night?!

Don’t really understand why you’re cross though - friend asked a favour, you said yes. It’s the random arrival tonight who should be pissed off! But you agreed.
