Need you pick your nose and take over the place?

I just hate to know one of my friends picks their nose and at the table in full view of you, plus never takes off her shoes. I'm not sure where you found this little lass but I'm thinking she needs to stay home now as well. Bored people are often boring themselves. She should have brought something to do, what does she expect, to go out and party now? I would have been there, made some food for the both of us if possible, talked a bit and then perhaps watched TV there if it was allowed (and not bothered you much while you worked all day) as I never get to watch much TV here cause my (nearly) 45 yr old brother is always here and watching it for 2 or more hours at a time with nothing better to do. In my opinion he could clean up his hoarder's paradise of a room for once but hey he doesn't even know it looks like that. The boxes of clothes, etc. are all strewn about the hallway when they should be in that room instead of all the garbage he keeps in there. I can't even invite ppl here cause he has messes like that downstairs as well (in a big pile and such), and the driveway...OMG.

Your friend has crude manners. I am sure she won't get another invitation next time.

What is there to regret? You just learned that to know someone, you merely need to live with them. This person who joined you is not your cup of tea when it comes to manners. I suppose the best lesson learned is that you are your own best company. You had a fabulous weekend that was filled with learning experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Fine friend you have got there! Is it the first time that you have been observing her that closely? I don't mind her serving herself or even not removing her shoes but picking her nose Ugh. I simply hate anyone doing it!

Ricki, what happened? You have a different account with 17 behind your name. Anyway, you invited your friend over. She had to think it was okay. I would probably ask if it was okay to make a sandwich or whatever if it were me. However, when I go to my friend Wendy's house.. I just make myself at home and open the fridge... so does my daughter... and so does she at my house. That's just the way we are. Oh and at my friend's house we all take off our shoes... it's because they have light carpet. We will be taking our shoes off in our new house too to keep the floors clean. Ewwww! Picking her nose at the table... she can go to the bathroom for that.

Well, when you invite someone over for lunch/dinner I don't necessarily think it's rude to go ahead and put a plate together, unless she was getting into food that wasn't part of the meal. Then you make sure you ask. Taking shoes off is something that varies from person to person and house to house. Some people insist you take off your shoes, and some people don't care. If you don't want her wearing the shoes around, just politely ask her to take them off. The nose picking thing is gross, and totally inappropriate for any situation. As far as her getting bored, if you didn't have the time to spend with the friend, you shouldn't have invited them. I can tell you from experience that it sucks to go spend time with a friend and then have them be to busy to spend time with you.

Such people lack a civilized way of living and are slowly chucked out of near and dear ones life.It is really hard to gel along with ill-mannered friends,you cannot teach them and make them understand a better and cultured living but the best thing is maintain a distance.
