Is this inappropriate?

[Honeyishrunktherat]

Won’t identify myself as keen to garner responses.

Person A organises free drinks at a pub near their work for a workplace hobby society they are a part of eg Watersports Club. They invite B and C from their actual work. B and C have nothing in common with the others (both female, the others aren’t; fair bit younger than the others etc) but end up staying on for drinks at the event until late into the evening. They mainly chat to each other but also mingle with the group.

Has anyone behaved inappropriately in these circumstances?

Not read the whole thread but read op posts and a few others. It sounds to me that the wife/mistress (ie op) was put out a bit and a little jealous that someone invited two young ladies along that might have caught the older men’s attention, inc whomever the op was with, and talked to them a bit. The fact the op is cagey about why she was there sounds like an affair going on and to be honest it’s just not really worthy of any discussion. A bit of a non-problem.

I am a wife yes but not one of any of the above...

Funding not an issue as drinks pre-ordered and people would not have finished them."

Oh I get it now, you are B or C and your husband has had a strop over you drinking after work with men.

He sounds controlling, he's probably gaslighting you too, time to get your ducks in a row and LTB.

I think it's the not finishing drinks that's inappropriate.

What Travis1 said

Have we managed to fathom any of this out yet?

I can't see how... assuming everyone kept their clothes on?

Depends what kind of watersports club it is.

Person A went to the shops and bought a bag of apples.

Persons B and and C stayed at home to watch EastEnders because they don't like apples.

Who has behaved inappropriately here?

How very odd

You or somebody you know has their Judy mcjudgy pants on already. This is a disingenuous attempt to get MN to 'identify' the culprit\s for you so you can be justified in then having a bit of a rant.

Without CCTV or secret audio recordings with evidence to suggest otherwise, there was a work/ after work hobby meeting that a couple of non-hobby workmates
tagged along to. Everyone had a few drinks. Nobody got drunk, took their clothes off, played spin the bottle or had bum sex on the billiards table.

Is there a competition or bet to make the vaguest thread possible with the most responses?

Otherwise not getting the point of this.

Weird!
Not a problem seen at all here - unless you're thinking the girls were invited to be token tottie for the blokes?

I hate excessive use if the word "inappropriate". Makes the speaker sound so uptight and up themselves. So, the main possible outrage here can be the hideous, utterly heinous crime of these 2 freeloaders who gobbled down free drinks for which they should have at least sucked up a bit to the club members (especially if they are young and attractive and club members are vastly male and old) and which didn't occur to them in their simplicity. I don't know who would want to go to some obscure for them event full of total strangers they aren't interested in for the sake of free booze, but equally I fail to imagine what sort of person would want you to "earn" your drinks by pretending you like those who paid for them.

Very, very odd situation.
