When I drive her around in the summer she yells at me for having ac on and rolls down windows and says I am “anti-nature” criticizes my music or will just turn it off without asking and usually have three or four put downs out of her mouth in first 10min of conversation that she totally monopolizes. I usually say “you know you are not the only one in the car, right?” And laugh at her, but she doesn’t get it. Or self correct. |

This will get back to her and she'll want to come next year. And will have catapulted herself off the guest list. She can't come and politely limit herself, and rush to another Thanksgiving Dinner and eat Tofurkey or some such there? Lots of people table-hop that day. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77947044 United States 11/26/2019 06:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I would not be friends with someone like that! I am a very picky eater (NOT in the must-have-organic-and-gluten-free way.....just plain picky), and if anything, I APOLOGIZE to hosts for it. My friends and family know how I am and don't care. I certainly would never ask for special treatment, although my friends (who I haven't seen in a long time) spoil me very much. My mom, not so much. Lol. It sounds like you went way out of your way to accommodate this person. You sound like a nice person who did not deserve her rude behavior! I hope she stays away so you can enjoy your Thanksgiving. By the way, your menu sounds amazing. I'm not much of a cook, but I will be throwing together a reasonable facsimile of a Thanksgiving meal. Luckily, my husband worships the quicksand I walk on and will love it. Lol. Happy Thanksgiving!!! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77247882 United States 11/26/2019 06:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Haha. My invited guest just said This to me for real. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72270771 I invited a friend who was going to be alone and she said no because she had “high values” for herself with proper food. I could not guarantee that it would be a free range turkey, or all organic vegetables and everything gluten free even the gravy. (I told her there would be many gluten free options and she could bring something gluten free as well) Never mind the other guests who want to have at least some gluten options. I was gonna invite someone who smokes occasionally but would never do so in our house and she said “you know I am allergic to cigarette smoke” to which I said , no problem, he won’t smoke unless he goes outside. Then she said “but does he SMELL like smoke? Wtf? Are these issues really more important than spending time with people? Especially flexible people? And f her too because I did buy organic veggies and usually do unless not available and she knows this. She used this invite to say something she thought would be hurtful to me for some reason. Could of simply said “No thanks, I have others plans”. I am actually really relieved she did not accept after that comment. No more invites for her. You’re standing between her and log term happiness. Meet all her demands and I’m sure she’ll be happy for the rest of her life. |
