seshat's blog post - Anti-social behavior

So some friends are coming over tonight for dinner. It's a couple we know, and they have a son who's 18 months or so. We had agreed that they would come around 6 PM. They just called and explained that because of their son's irregular napping, they might come earlier or later. Up to two hours earlier.

I know I can be a bitch, but really, potentially two hours earlier? I can understand later (not wanting to wake the baby up) but why (that much) earlier ? I'm pissed off, how on earth can I plan my afternoon this way, it's not like I don't have other stuff to do.

Did I mention that they're actually my BF's friends originally? They always seem to find a way to annoy me. On a previous occasion, the woman had eaten almost none of my dishes, claiming a stomach bug. But when she ate two large plates of the main course, alarm bells rang in my head. She had avoided: alcohol, raw vegetables, raw eggs. The next day, BF had called to ask if she was pregnant and they had vigorously denied ("we're too young for kids". A few weeks later, it turned out that she was pregnant. So: flat out lying to us, and on top of that no apology. And she still brings up this anecdote, as if it's funny to relive it

Yeah, I know, I sound like a real bitch, I'm venting my frustration before they arrive
