To think that my brothers girlfriend should just not come here if she is going to be so bloody fussy

For the past few years, every month or so I have had a curry night, where my mum, elder and younger brothers and their gf's come over, we have a take away, and several drinks, my kids run riot and everyone has a good laugh etc.

Anyway, up until a few months ago, my elder brother hadn't got a gf, so he always came alone. Now he has, and like the nice people that we are we welcomed her with open arms, but I have to say that I am now getting seriously pissed off with how fussy she is.

The one time they came and we had chinese. She said it wouldn't be as nice as the chinese by her, so ordered english. Fine, no problem, up to her.

Then last time we had indian and she said she wouldn't like it because her mum cooks better indian food, so she had english stuff again, but when it came she said the chicken didn't taste right.
Now both of my dd's had the chicken too, and believe me if I had thought there was anything wrong with it, i'd not have let them eat it, but I tasted it, and it was absolutly fine.

So, another curry night is planned for tonight, and this time it is just elder brother and fussy gf coming, plus my mum.
Brother has just rung to say that his gf is worrying about what we are going to eat, as she didn't like the food from the last place.

I said, I wasn't sure yet. We are possibly trying a new place, but hadn't quite decided. He said oh, and I could hear her mumbling in the background that she didn't want anything if we were going to order from the same place as before.

Then my brother said 'will we be able to britains got talent ?'. I said no because it clashes with Dr Who and I don't have the facility to record anything.
My brother who has a V+ box then tells his gf that no she can't watch it, and he will record it and they can watch it when they get back. I could hear her moaning, that she wanted to watch it as it happened.

AIBU to think that she should just not bloody come if she is going to be so bloody fussy ??

Give it 6 months - your brother will catch on and ditch the witch.

See the thing is, she obviously thinks it OK to bring smarties ice-cream for everyone else and a small tub of haagen das for herself, and until someone plucks up the courage to tell her it's selfish behaviour she'll continue to do it.

she sounds a witch
is your brother a genearlly meek and mild sort of a person?
sounds like he's in for a rough ride!

Cook her and eat her. Always works for me.

she must be one hot shag if he is willing to put up with all that moaning.

maybe she moans loudly then too.

Christ I hate food bores! YADNBU. I think she can fuck off. Presumably she'd rather stay at home, eat her 'better' food and watch shite Britain's Got Talent anyway. If it's stressing you, stop inviting her. I appreciate you wanting to be welcoming, but you have tried ? hard! ? and she has to step up too. It's your curry night and you have the right to enjoy it. Usually ordering takeaway is a rock-solid solution to fussy people cos everyone can order what they want, but this is fussiness/boreness on a different level.

Gosh this is an old thread!

I actually remembered it. Thought the OP had come back with more slagging off information about the girlfriend.

Whats PFBAO ?? I get the PFB bit, but whats the AO.

She is PFB and an only child too.

Oi! I'm an only child and I'm not a pain in the arse like that! So is DH, and neither is he. She's simply a pain in the arse!

:o

WTH - this thread is almost 3 years old...

Pompoko · 15/03/2011 18:14

This made me do a mad dash for the remote thinking ive missed the new (sexier) Doctor. Shame...

Anyway, if the OP is still hovering around, what happened??!! Any more dramas? Are they still together? Have they popped any PFB's? I MUST KNOW!

Sorry! Don't know how I got on to this thread and didn't realise how old it was. Apologies for disappointing/misleading people ...
