Today me and a friend are going to a near by city for shopping and lunch.
She asks me to book somewhere for lunch last week.
I asked her what type of food she wanted and she said "pub grub"
So I found a place and booked it.
She asked to see the menu
It has bangers n mash/fish and chips/all day breakfast/burgers /mince n dumplings etc
Plus sandwiches /toasties/wraps and salads
Her response "hmm is that the whole menu"
I said yes ..
She said there's not much on ?
I said to her you said you wanted pub grub
She replied "there's no jacket potatoes "
I said "you said pub grub"
She said "yes nice pub grub"
So I said ..ok what meal do you fancy ?
She said "I don't really know,pub grub"
So I said ..ok well why don't you have a look because I've spent all week looking and you can't decide.
She replied
"No need to be arsey,I told you pub grub"
Aibu here to think she's a bit annoying ?

Just got back.
What a miserable day.
There was other options on the menu including lasagne/chicken Kiev etc
She ended up ordering a lasagne then moaned al day about the weather.
Complaining she was wet then hot then arguing with me.
What a day

Why are you friends with her OP? She sounds like a PITA.

I bet she isn't aware of it.

My best friend from uni ghosted me (years later) and I think it must have been because I was a PITA Grin

She sounds a bit daft!

“Pub grub” is extremely vague anyway and would mean different things to different people - if she wanted jacket potatoes why not just say so???

StillCoughingandLaughing · 23/07/2020 18:25

I hate people who don’t want to do any of the organising but are more than happy to do all of the criticising. Let me guess - is she also one of those people who likes a surprise, but never the actual surprise itself?

This reminds me of a thread on here a few years back when a woman asked her partner to get her a bar of ‘nice chocolate’ from the shop. He bought Galaxy. Apparently he should have known that ‘nice chocolate’ means Green and Blacks.

VettiyaIruken · 23/07/2020 18:31

Sounds like she didn't really want to have the day out tbh.

mogloveseggs · 23/07/2020 18:37

Sounds like a crappy day Flowers

PablosHoney · 23/07/2020 18:37

Does spud u like still exist? I love a jacket potato

Argggghhneedclarity · 23/07/2020 18:39

She sounds annoying!

mogloveseggs · 23/07/2020 18:39

I love a jacket spud in fact that's what we're having for tea but I wouldn't class it as pub grub. Why on Earth didn't she say she'd a hankering for a spud before she asked you to book anywhere.

gottastopeatingchocolate · 23/07/2020 18:51

Am I the only one that sees Spud U Like and remembers Victoria Wood?

Alloftheboys · 23/07/2020 18:56

@gottastopeatingchocolate reminds me of Wayne and Waynetta and their child Spuduliky.

PablosHoney · 23/07/2020 18:57

I remember their little plastic spoons with a potato with a face on the top

StillCoughingandLaughing · 23/07/2020 18:59

They went bust about 18 months ago.

PablosHoney · 23/07/2020 19:23

Nooooooooooo

Clumsyduck · 23/07/2020 19:25

A fkin jacket spud
What a treat 😂

geereer · 23/07/2020 21:11

Honestly don't get me wrong.
I love a jacket potato but I wasn't thinking it was pub grub.
She moaned all day about everything
She's snappy,shouted at the bar staff in the pub.
I was embarrassed

She sounds like a knob head

KaleJuicer · 23/07/2020 21:53

Seems pretty clear that was your last ever outing with her.

PablosHoney · 23/07/2020 22:02

Drive by her house and lob a potato through the window

Clumsyduck · 23/07/2020 22:03

@PablosHoney 😂😂

AliceinBunnyland · 23/07/2020 22:10

But why do you put up with it OP?

Is she always like this?

Do you have other friends?

KittyHawke80 · 23/07/2020 22:11

She shouted at the staff? Bin her off, OP. She sounds awful.

geereer · 23/07/2020 22:27

She says it's her anxiety.
I don't really know much about her condition.
I try and be a good friend but sometimes you walk on eggshells for the fear of upsetting her.

HowFastIsTooFast · 23/07/2020 22:30

Did she want 'nice pub grub' or did she want a jacket potato, because they are not the same thing? You're not being unreasonable OP.
