How to deal with so called 'friends'
So…I have this friend who has an amazing knack of always being unwell, or having something mind boggling ridiculous happen to her. A lot of the time this results in us not being able to meet up.
Most recently she almost screwed up my birthday plans by texting me 3 hours before the event to ask me to change the venue because a work mate had invited her there for drinks and said she definately wouldn’t come if I don’t change it. Needless to say, I told her to bugger off The next day she texted me (on my birthday) demanding why I didn’t change the venue, and that I should have because then she could have come along. I’ve no idea how I kept my cool!!! 
I am now at a point where she has annoyed me beyond recognition but I’m unable to get rid of her because my parents and her parents are very good friends. Sods law! Some of you might be thinking that she obviously doesn’t like me and that I should ignore her, but she still leaves messages on my facebook or texts asking to meet up 
Other amusing excuses she’s come up with (she must think I am such an idiot) are:
“I can’t come out because I have to clean my mums house and it will take the entire day” (she doesn’t live at home and her mum is a clean freak)
“I’m waiting for a phone call and have to be home to get really good signal otherwise I wont get the call at all”
“I’m so ill, I’m dying ” (despite being ill almost every week beforehand)
and the best one I’ve had is:
“I couldn’t text you because the o2 network was down for my phone and no-one else’s” 
Is anyone else in a similar situation with a so-called friend or have they been in a situation before? How did you handle it? What’s been the stupid excuse someone has given you?
