‘I don’t want my friend to eat at my home because she insulted my cat, am I wrong?’

A home is a sanctuary that you only share with those you’re comfortable with. In one instance, a woman didn’t want her friend to eat at her home after some rude comments she made about her cooking methods.

She took to the social media platform Reddit to get some insight into the situation and see if she was in the wrong.

Detailing her story , she wrote: “A while back I posted a picture to my [Instagram] Stories of my cat sitting NEXT TO my counter as I was cooking.

• ‘Dad reveals wife's final wish he kept secret for 18 years - but it backfired’
• 'My father-in-law rudely commented about my baby's name, it was so uncalled for’

“On his own stool. He was watching. Again, he was NEXT TO my counter. Not anywhere near the food. He doesn’t go on counters. He doesn’t go near the food.”

What happened next rubbed the woman the wrong way. She said: “My 'friend' Rose reposted it with her own caption, a puke face emoji and wrote ‘You can’t eat [at] everybody's house.’”

The woman decided to be the bigger person and let the actions of her so-called friend slide, not taking it too seriously.

She explained her stance: “I ignored it and went about my business. She is very much the type of person who just regurgitates whatever popular phrases she sees on social media.

• 'I found out my boyfriend was cheating when I was shopping online - I couldn't believe my eyes'
• Woman finds out husband is cheating after radio hosts trick him into admitting it
• Woman takes DNA test for fun and discovers mom's 35 year old secret

“Pineapple on pizza = monsters, raisins in cookies are why I have trust issues, I don’t trust people who don’t like dogs, ‘hot girl’ walks, ‘hot girl’ books, delulu, I’m going to hold your hand while I tell you this, is the X in the room with us right now, etc etc.”

While the woman said her friend often just regurgitates popular phrases, she stressed that she has some good elements to her as well. She wrote: “She has other traits that make up for it, but truthfully I do tend to avoid one-on-one time with her.”

At some point, the woman decided to hold a get-together, but she decided to not invite her friend.

• 'My husband was looking for a one-night stand' online - gave birth just 38 days ago'
• 'I'm a grandma but I won't babysit every day - I threatened to call the police'
• Dad forces son to invite his 'bully' to his birthday party: "he's just mischievous"

“About a month ago I hosted a small get-together… to show off some Le Creuset cookware I obtained (getting older is weird). I had a whole little shindig with home-prepared food, and lots of fun times between pals. I didn’t invite Rose.

“She found out after folks posted on their [Instagram] stories and confronted me over it, saying that I was ‘giving high school mean girl vibes.’

“I told her that she has made it clear she doesn’t eat at the homes of people who have cats, so why would I have invited her to a dinner party?

“She got defensive and said that she could have just come and not eaten anything. I said that in the future, maybe she should be more careful about what she says because to me it was very clear.

“Rose has continued to tell people I’m giving ‘high school mean girl to nurse pipeline’ (...I’m an accountant) and all that. Am I really the a—--- for not inviting her? Why would she have wanted to come?”

Social media users commented on the ordeal, not holding their opinions back.

One person wrote: “Rose, I suspect, is more bothered about the idea of being excluded, even if she ordinarily wouldn’t have wanted to attend the event, than she is reflective about how critiquing the cleanliness of OP’s home & her hygiene made OP — someone who is supposed to be, at least, a friendly acquaintance— feel to score points with Internet strangers. And that says a lot about Rose.”

Another individual chimed in: Yeah, reposting a personal photo of my home and cat just to snark on it would be the end of this ‘friendship.’ I would have been explaining I didn’t invite her because we aren’t friends. She would have gotten her feelings hurt a lot more than just what op said.”

And someone else wrote: “The ‘high school mean girl vibes’ thing threw me, just because I can’t think of anything more ‘high school mean girl’ than posting your friend’s IG story (that had nothing to do with you!!!) on your own page with a caption about how disgusting they’re being. She publicly called OP gross, yet she still wants an invite to dinner? Please.”
