    You have no friends

    So, a girl walks into the bar. She's a student, and is acting like the kind whose daddy has paid for everything in her entire life.

    SC: Hi, I want to book a table for twenty.
    Me: OK, and when will this be?
    SC: In about an hour.
    Me: Uhh..OK.

    It was quite quiet, so it wasn't going to be a big problem.

    Me: So, table for twenty.
    SC: NO! God! Twenty tables!
    Me: Twenty tables?
    SC: Yes! Twenty tables!
    Me: I don't think we can accomodate that many...
    SC: Twenty tables??
    Me: Yes. We do not have an area big enough to fit twenty tables together...
    SC: Whatever. I'll be back later.

    She walks out. I am annoyed.

    Phone rings.

    SC: Uhhh...I made a mistake. It was a table for twenty. Not twenty tables.
    Me: OK, no problem.
    SC: I'll be there in half an hour.

    I set up the tables. Thank God it was quiet. SC turned up wearing an assortment of "21 TODAY!!" badges all over herself.

    Do you know how many people turned up for her birthday party??

    Six.

    Six people.

    And that was including herself.

    Maybe she speaks to her "friends" in the same manner she spoke to me.

      the same thing happened for my friends 21st, she had it at a chinese buffet
      she had a table for 30 people

      3 friends turned up, including me
      the other was a couple, the girl was her friend, the guy was her other friends boyfriend.

      he then proceeded to tell me and the birthday girl that we were going to hell because we were LDS (Im not active anymore) and not real christians....

      it took two hours before she would admit that the others weren't coming, she spent at least half an hour ringing her "friends" none of which were answering her calls or texts

      the owners of the buffet were pissed! They wanted her to pay for at least half of the seats they had set aside for her party. I felt bad for her, but like it was a huge spanking by karma for her. She was constantly putting her friends down to build herself up.

        Why would you want to treat your friends like that? Don't people know that if you treat others badly, it'll come back and bit ya on the ass?

        I adore and friends and would never do anything to hurt them. They're my family.

          I'm the same. OK, I have friends that I am closer to than others, but I would never treat ANY of them badly. I love my best friend, he's my dude.

            At least she was willing to admit that she made a mistake ... that's a rarity for people like that ...


            But asking for 20 tables? What kind of math is that???

              To seat 6 people? 6/20... 3/10 of a person at each table? There's gonna be gore all over my good apron...

                  Um ... kind of strange for someone to have to plan their own party.

                    not really. I plan my own birthday parties. Because I throw AWESOME parties and nothing makes me happier than planning them. Also, I'm a control freak.... i facebook invited over 180 people to my 24th this spring. About 70 showed.

                      Well, speaking from personal experience, sometimes planning the damn thing yourself is the only way to ensure you even get a party.

                      How sad that their friends abandoned them on their birthday of all days. I feel sorry for them.

                        I've done that...along with my youngest sister when we were growing up since we both have birthdays in the same month....April. That's all changed since I moved out our parents' house. Joint parties are okay but after a while it gets downright old.

                        It's one thing if people say they can't make it, but to just not show or RSVP because the person is a bitch/asshole really says a lot. Treat people the way you want to be treated, simple as that.

                          I'll second the vote of not getting parties unless you do them yourself!

                          It does depend though. Not saying the OP person wasn't rude to friends and all, but there are people like myself who don't have a large circle, and withdraw from all things social, so don't have a large circle of acquaintances either.

                          I think at my 21st I had all of... oh, 1 other person with me. (Granted, I had moved 2000K's away at the time, but it's also about 'letting people know' ... or so I've been told )

                          But I did have one 'friend' who adamantly refused to attend my 30th celebration, because "birthdays don't mean much to him". Yes - he lives a more lonely life, and people keep removing themselves from his environment (which is basically his work and his flat...)

                            My 20th birthday I made it known I was having a party. One person showed. So she took me to a different party where I made lots of NEW friends.

                            I got dumped 2 days before my 21st, so at midnight I went to the bar and met up with the same new friends from the year before and we all celebrated.

                              Sorry to ask this but what's an LDS? I'm just curious?
