Update! Driving a friend to my own shower/girls night

lifeonthehill · June 2013

UPDATE. I was complaining about spending 30 minutes on the day of my shower picking her up. Unfortunately I went to pick her up and she decided that since I wanted to go to dinner at a local place instead of a chain she didnt have the money and refused to come after all. Note that her alcohol, ride and hotel werealready paid for. I am irritated to say the least. I guess I should have refused to go after all.

Wait, she canceled on you AFTER you showed up to pick her up?

That's not a very good friend thing to do. I'm sorry you had to deal with this. I hope that you still had a great time at your party!!

She sounds like a jerk. This would be a friend I would drop, since she doesn't sound like a very good friend.

Oh yes. AFTER! Also my nice meal cost me a total of 14.99. Really not much more than a meal at Applebees or Texas Roadhouse. Oh well. I had a fabulous time anyways and she missed out! Haha.

Yikes, that is ridiculous. Glad you had fun though! I hope she wasn't just saying what her controlling husband told her to.

As others have said, you are under no obligation to provide her transportation. I would rethink the friendship based on her calling you selfish.

That's incredible. You may be a better friend than I am, but that's the last time she'd be getting a call from me to hang out.

Yeah, if you stay friends with her, refuse to drive her anywhere after this. Pulling that on you after you drove all that way is unacceptable.

I have a feeling from now on we will only hang out with mutual friends. Mutual friends who drive her. Thank you ladies for all of your advice over the last few days. I learned my lesson this time!

Ditto the others. Not only would I never drive her again, she'd get an earful from me.

That's BS at its finest and dropping someone like that isn't a loss.

That is total bull. Seriously if she couldn't afford $15 for a night out this girl should have at a minimum CALLED to let you know this so you wouldn't waste your time. I would strait out tell her she would NOT be getting rides from me In the future and I might try to convince my friends to do the same.

So much for the friendship.

If she wasn't sick, she should have honored all the arrangements you made with her. I would not only not give her rides anymore, I wouldn't be her friend anymore after all you did to try to get her there.
