Rude to tell someone you passed through their city without calling?

Don't email and tell someone you were a mike away but didn't get in touch. What message are you really wanting to send them? How is that information in any way a good thing?

It's not top secret info. Better to hear it directly from me than a mutual friend/acquaintance who happened to see me in town. It's nothing to hide or feel guilty about and the "friends" who would guilt trip their friends over something like this are not very friendly.

Please don't mention as. As a military spouse with lots of those casual friends, I'd be hurt - not because of our friendship necessarily, but because of other stuff going on i my life.

You just don't know her well right now and it's best to not even mention it. Don't take the chance of hurting her feelings.

PP here. We live in a tourist area now (not DC anymore) and you wouldn't believe the amount of friends, family, and acquaintances who visit and don't tell us. It hurts. That's all on me, but please just be aware - and don't hurt people just because you can.

I would not mind it but I will make sure to make him remember every time and tease him.
