[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think she just called and changed the reservation number because she had invited others thinking you'd be pleased to have others join you and wanted to be sure the restaurant had room for the larger group. A larger group. It's forward of her, but it wasn't mean or put you guys in a bind for the meal. Maybe she thought she had texted you about it or she thought the get together meant others were also invited if they were free?[/quote]

For anyone reading who might not understand: this is rude. Don't do this.

If I want to hang out with you, I invite you. I don't invite you and other people. If you want to invite plus ones on something you were invited to, you ask upfront.

If you're the one doing the inviting, that's different. But OP was "host" for this get-together, and bringing along extras is rude. [/quote]

True but it wasn't like she invited people OP didn't know. She just invited others from the sport they both play on that likely they both talk to. This happens all the time in my circles. I as runner 1 might run with a group and ask Runner 2 if they want to meet for lunch after the run. That person happens to run into runner 3 whom we both run with and mentions they are going out to lunch after the run. Runner 3 says that sounds like fun. Runner 2 then asks runner 1 if it's ok if runner 3 joins them. Runner 1 then usually has to say yes anyway. So whether the ask happened or not, it's still the same scenario. It's slightly rude but it's also not worth all this anxiety over. Maybe there just wasn't a lot of time to connect.[/quote]
