Hosting - Is this CFery?

Hi all NC’d this post as I know the women are on here.

Ok, so I have a group of 3 friends and we are all in a chat together. I like all the girls and we get on well. However this has been annoying me so much recently - whenever something is suggested it is just expected to be at my house? Even when they want to do something it’ll just be expected to be at my place - I won’t even have invited them.

So at Christmas we decided we would all get together and have a dinner together. I agreed saying it would be nice to have a meal all together. The day before one girl (let’s call her Helen) put a message in the chat asking what time I wanted everyone? I didn’t even know it was expected for me to have everyone round and cook ANOTHER Christmas dinner for them? It annoyed me, I said I wasn’t hosting and they all went into a strop about how we had to go out for a meal now and they were skint? No thought for me when they were expecting me to buy everything and cook for them all - it was actually cheaper for me to go out!!!

This stuck in my mind and then yesterday I checked the group chat after work to see a load of messages.
Helen again had suggested as the weather is getting nicer we should all have a BBQ. Everyone sending in messages agreeing and the last message was from another girl saying “champagne???? We need to know when we’re coming to yours for the BBQ so we can put it in the diary”

WHY THE FUCK WOULD IT BE AT MY HOUSE?!
Is it just me who thinks if you suggest an event, you’re offering to host? Not ‘I wanna do this, you host an event to facilitate that’

It’s really pissed me off and I haven’t replied as I feel like they take the piss all the time. They can see I’ve read the chat and now Helen has text me privately saying “you’ve seen the chat, so when’s the BBQ then?”

ARGH FUCK OFF

"Do you have any concept how offensive your comments are?"

PrismGuile · 16/02/2019 15:12

Just seen it's progressed - well done Op!

PrismGuile · 16/02/2019 15:17

Agree with @Jamiefraserskilt

JazzyBBG · 16/02/2019 15:24

I'd reply "BBQ in February? freaks."

Cheeky load of bints.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 16/02/2019 15:28

If you are reading this, op's "friends" fucking hell, how much brasso do you get through polishing those necks? Fuck to the actual no, op. No no no.

BeverlyHillsCop · 16/02/2019 15:39

These women are not your friends, they are taking the piss.
I’d be going NC.

HollowTalk · 16/02/2019 15:42

I really hope those other women are on here.

Romanov · 16/02/2019 15:59

Helen sounds adorable (not) I hope they are reading this

explodingkitten · 16/02/2019 16:08

You sound lovely and I think that you are well rid of these "friends". Keeping friends from childhood and uni is overrated anyway. It only works if you're going through the same life stages. These women sound awful.

Piffle11 · 16/02/2019 16:16

My guess is that they can't be arsed with the cleaning up afterwards and potential mess/damage during, so have decided you're it. If you have said 'no, someone else's turn' and they are just whining about having to go out and pay, or they are saying they will wait for a time when it's convenient for you, then I think you need to find better friends. I wouldn't be hosting this bunch of freeloaders anymore.

Anniegetyourgun · 16/02/2019 16:18

I'd reply "BBQ in February? freaks."

Depends which hemisphere OP lives in, really, doesn't it?

Newsername · 16/02/2019 16:23

Well that escalated quickly. Hmm!

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 16/02/2019 16:23

Yes the other women are really going to be reading this Hmm

FamilyOfAliens · 16/02/2019 16:25

All done and dusted within a few hours. Amazing.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 16/02/2019 16:27

Isn't it.

Aeroflotgirl · 16/02/2019 16:32

Power of instant messenger eh!

HollowTalk · 16/02/2019 16:34

@Ihopeyourcakeisshit In the OP she says that they are on here.

ZenNudist · 16/02/2019 16:35

Doesn't sound like normal adult behaviour to me.

Good riddance to the rubbish bitches.

Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 16/02/2019 16:47

hollow I know that.

TedAndLola · 16/02/2019 16:47

Gosh, what a fast and satisfying conclusion.

The only thing that could make it more realistic would be one of the women replying to the thread!

username79999 · 16/02/2019 16:54

What a load of nasty bitches . I love that they are honest though .
Well rid there.

BadLad · 17/02/2019 01:35

It’s turned into a real war of words now with them saying spiteful things like “you’re not even a good host, we just have houses that shouldn’t be wrecked whereas yours is already a mess”

Sounds like Cathy or Christine in Two Doors Down. Are they Scottish?

TheMaddHugger · 17/02/2019 02:44

Ehh. they're probs in Oz It's BBQ weather here.
