One of my best friends birthdays at the weekend. We are all going out for the day and my friend has invited loads of people who are good friends to her.
One of her friends (say friend A) always asks if she can bring a friend (say friend B) of hers to nights out etc. Friend B has always come along then the 2 (A & B) of them have spent the night whispering in the corner like 2 school girls. Apparently they are judging and talking about the rest of us. Neither of them talk to anyone else and its not that they are shy.
Friend A turned around to my friend and asked if friend B and her DH can come to this birthday day out, while friend B and the DH were there. None of us are that keen on friend B, including my friend and we can't work out why she comes out with us.
I think it is really underhanded the way it was done, asking in front of them as of course my friend isn't going to turn around and say "no they can't come" when they are stood right there. IMO (and my friend agrees) Friend A knew exactly what she was doing by putting my friend on the spot which I think is pretty underhanded. My friend said she likes friend A less when she is with this other woman just because of the way she behaves.
