When you invite guests do you do everything to badger them as soon as possible?

Hello friends, week ago a friend of my boyfriend invited us at her new home. She just divorced with her husband and feel little bit lonely, so we decided to visit her - it was us both and one other girl, who is friend to my boyfriend and the housewife too. Whole week she asked us what we want to drink what we want to eat and here it is, the date came and we prepared to be guests at her home. It was so great day yesterday, i told my boyfriend that we have to buy her a present for her new rented apartment, something for good luck and happy life. Whole day we couldn't go to the shops, which doesn't matter so much. She was home from work and asked us what will we do? It was strange, because of some reasons - first of all she invited us in her home and she is the one, who had to say what shall we do, second of all she was preparing us for brilliant night, with her questions of what we want to eat and what we will drink. One hour before we leave our home, she told us that she will wash her hair and will wait us, so we together to decided what we will buy for diner and what we will drink. We took the other girl, which was invited too, went to the store, bought 3 bottles of white wine, juices and other stuff and went to Chinese restaurant to buy food, because ordering online would be slower. At the end we went in her home one hour later with a lot of food a lot of stuff for drinking and she was like crazy screaming why we are so late Me and my boyfriend are smokers, so we had to go to the balcony for 1 cigarette of each of us, once in the night. We had to walk to her 6th flour to reach her apartment and we bought everything with our money, she was waiting us only with 4 glasses and waffles on the table. Doesn't matter to now ... next part is more interesting. We eat and drunk one of the bottles and she told us that her car doesn't work, so friends of her will come to help her with the car, there was something with the accumulator. We told her that it's not big deal for us, if we stay alone for some time, until she fix her car with her friends. Hmmm ... that didn't work for her. In few minutes she asked us don't we want to sleep soon? ... We said - no. After that it was like invitation for us to leave, because she said that she will wake up around 6 in the morning, because she has to go to work. Things started to look doubtful. Nobody wanted to leave her home, because we all understood that she lies. Nobody called for the accumulator, she didn't want to sleep ... All of us wanted what's wrong and at the end, she gave up... Actually she had plans for later, but didn't told us the truth. All the night she was writing text messages on her phone, she was chatting in facebook and skype, and we just eat and drunk like alone, without her. She changed her clothes at the end and we had to drive her for another meeting. Actually i never liked that girl a lot, but i was so angry and pissed off at the end. Our night resolution was 30$ spent, not enjoyable time and rude host. It looks so rude for me someone to invite me at his /her home, to plan the meeting with me around a week and at the end to allow me to buy everything, to eat and drink if i have paid the bill and to push me to go home soon, without any special attention. As a result of that i told my boyfriend that i don't want to speak and to see that girl anymore. She is out of any manners and education and she doesn't deserve my attention at all. What would it be if you have such experience? How would you react?

Hi Sugar, Well you said she was just divorced.....I guess you and me know why he's not with her anymore lol. She's no friend at all. Im sorry you had such a bad evening, by the sound of it, it was really awful and you had to spend money on top of it. She's a liar, a manipulator and she uses people. Id stay far away from her and I dont think she'll ever be able to invite you again because now you'll know !!

Oh i was sure there is something wrong, expensive cosmetics, expensive clothes on famous brands... Yes, we already know why everything happened. I'm not a gossip, who is putting the nose in someone's else business, but after that awful opinion she stayed on me, i'll never go there and something more - i don't like and don't want relations with that kind of people. Thanks for sharing, Magical.

Hi friend, what an experience, I think that was very rude, not only very rude but I think it's also bad manners, seems to reflect what kind of upbringing she was raised. Something like that is a real no no in my country that is although poor is famous for hospitality, In my country when you are invited , you are not expected to spend anything, you are not even expected to bring anything although the good gesture is always welcome, we do not let guests eat what they brought, that's bad manners to us, although if we all want to share it , we ask the permission first of whoever brought it, even a poor countryman will go to the extent of borrowing money just to keep a guest entertained especially if he is somebody of higher stature. What your friend did is unimaginable to me could it also be the reason why she was divorced?

Last was good, thanks I don't know if that's the reason for their divorce, but i know that she is selfish and egoistic, i don't like that kind of people. In our country, manners are like we make them. I mean me and my friends - if we invite guests, we always say before it if it's for coffee or it will be for diner. And usually we put what is planned to be on the tables. If we invite someone for coffee, we make it and some cookies, also some juice, if that's possible. If it will be for diner the ones who will got guests, need to prepare something for eating, this is why we know exactly what will happen when someone comes.
