This woman and her husband recently completed a bunch of home renovations which included a completely redone kitchen.

So, in an effort to celebrate her new space, she invited four friends over for a housewarming girls’ night dinner party.

But, a few days before the dinner was set to take place, her friend– Jan– told her that she was not feeling well.

Apparently, Jan had taken a rapid COVID-19 test and was going to get one done at the clinic, too. So, Jan promised to keep her updated on the results.

Then, on the morning of the dinner party, Jan reached out and let her know that every test was negative.

“I told her at every interaction that if she was not feeling well, there was no pressure for her to come. But, she assured me she was fine and was excited for the night,” she recalled.

Nonetheless, after Jan showed up for the evening, she immediately did not seem well. Jan was constantly sighing, rubbing her forehead, and even passed on the tour of her home renovations.

She tried to look past it all, though, and was still excited to serve her friends dinner. She loves to cook and worked really hard on preparing a seven-course meal for everyone– which she was super proud of.

But then, after serving it, she noticed Jan was not thrilled.

“Jan only took three bites before just pushing the food around– still sighing, hunched, and leaning on her hand,” she explained.

“It was also slightly awkward since we were constantly asking Jan if she was okay, and she was not participating in the conversation and just shrugged if we tried to include her.”

So, before serving the third course, she pulled Jan aside and asked if she wanted any more food.

She explained how she had noticed Jan not eating much and said she did not want to waste food if Jan was not hungry.

Jan insisted she wanted to eat, though, so she served her the third course. But again, Jan took two bites and wasted the rest.

And because Jan was still sighing, rubbing her forehead, and basically just moping around, another friend eventually asked if Jan wanted to lie down. But then, Jan snapped at all of the girls– asking why they were badgering her.

“After that, we all eased back and just continued eating. Overall, the night was not pleasant, and all the other girls reassured me after Jan left– she left first– that the night and food were great. We also arranged a redo to celebrate my husband and me buying and renovating our home,” she said.

Still, the dinner party drama did not end there. About a week later, she ran into Jan, and they got to talking about the gathering.

She also asked Jan if she enjoyed the dinner– to which Jan responded with a cruel remark about how she had “lost her hostess sparkle.”

Then, Jan accused her of going “on and on” about her house and noted how that “drove Jan crazy.”

So, she was understandably pissed off and decided to bring up Jan’s lackluster behavior that evening.

She shared how Jan’s lack of energy and attitude affected the night, but then Jan passively aggressively brought up something even worse– her meal after the dinner party.

Apparently, after barely touching the three-course meal, Jan remarked how she left the party and ate the “best” cheeseburger. And that’s when she was no longer taking any of Jan’s remarks.

“I said, ‘Maybe you shouldn’t have come then if it wasn’t up to your standards. You’re actually standing here talking about eating cheeseburgers the same night you ate two bites of the meal I cooked and wasted all that food I spent all day cooking? If you were as sick as you seemed that night, you should not have come since you ruined the night,'” she told Jan.

Jan ended up calling her a bad friend and an attention seeker after that. And even though she found Jan’s behavior and comments unacceptable, she is now wondering if calling her out on it– and saying she ruined the evening– was a jerky thing to do.

If you were in her shoes, how would you have handled Jan? Do you think jan was out of line?
