I need to rant here. I'm relatively new to this board and I lurk a lot of the etiquette posts ... It really has opened my eyes to a lot of rude shit people do. Not like before I was walking around like some rude idiot completely self unaware, but there are certain things I have read and been like "wow, wouldn't have even thought twice about that". Anyways.. Today I had my first moment where I caught myself saying out loud "how RUDE" .. All thanks to the lovely people here.
Awhile back, I bartended at night at a golf course restaurant over the summer. There was a lot of girls that came and went .. Got fired, left, etc etc .. It's a restaurant. That happens. So today I get a "hey" text from an unknown number. I of course ask who it is and she says its a girl I waitressed with. I think she was there a month and we talked a little, shared some shift meals etc then she got fired and I never heard from her again. I wouldn't consider her a "friend" by any means. I did a search and somewhere along the line I did add her on Facebook, which leads me to this.
She texts back "Hi! It's rudegirl from the golf course. I'm getting married too, and I wanted to invite you to my shower! Been a long time, and I would love to see you. Don't feel the need to bring anything".
What the actual f. So this girl I knew for a total of a month is inviting me to her bridal shower.. And then goes on to say "don't feel the need" to get her a gift? Oh, but I'm sure she wouldn't refuse if I did bring one. I am blown away by this. Am I overreacting or is this just super, insanely RUDE? I keep staring at my phone expecting another text from her along the lines of "just kiddingggggg".
On a side note .. She obviously found out through Facebook im getting married. We have zero friends in common. Maybe a quick comment or message with a congrats may have been a better way to try and spark up this whole thing. Not even a "like" on my page. Not that my life revolves around Facebook but come on.
Gross. Yuck.
This is why we can't have nice things.
