Airport girl

[Deleted]

Is no longer a friend.

She texted and asked me to pick her up from the airport when she comes home in a few days. (I can't believe she had the guts to do so) I tell her no - I'm going to the doctor tomorrow because I'm fairly certain I have strep throat.

She says awww. Strep sucks. At least having it is an easy way to help you slim out those curves before bikini season gets started! WTH? WHO SAYS THINGS LIKE THIS?? 

I don't know what on earth is going on with her because she hasn't acted like this in the past but the airport thing was my cutoff on free passes for her.

Unless you think I'm overreacting here, please give me something to respond to her with. Something sassy and snarky but not so horrible that I can maintain a civil, working relationship with her. I'm all nyquilled up and I'm not good with comebacks even when I'm not sick.

This girl is a piece of work. Devils Advocate here, maybe she was just trying to make you feel better and doesn't realize how it comes across? Like you said, it's unlike her to be nasty. I would say something like "we'll I'm not worried about that but thanks, blah blah" and definitely so not pick her up. Hopefully her behaviour improves/goes back to normal.

Honestly, if you need to maintain a working relationship with her I would just not respond at all. She sounds like a bitch, and she's pissed that you won't pick her up so she took a dig at you. You already turned her down, so take the high road and ignore from this point on.

Sigh. You're probably right. Taking the high road is always the best option.

Not responding is the best comeback ever. She'll definitely wonder wtf happened and probably doubt herself. But I have absolutely no idea what the back story is, here, so you can feel free to ignore me!

I probably wouldn't reply with a snappy comeback.

Instead, I would just say, "I'm feeling really terrible.  I hope you find another ride."

Responding to an inappropriate joke with genuine pain is the most effective way to snuff the snark.

And make that person feel like shit.  LOL.

Note to self: Come to you for witty comeback.

OK, caught up. How good of a friend is this person? I mean, before all this happened.

She's pretty much my closest friend in the class - we study together and celebrated after finals but she's definitely not my best friend - just the closest person I have at school where I spend over 40 hours a week at.
