Faking illness is probably the easiest way to go. Just work up a cough, and if you really need to sell it if you push down a bit pretty low on your throat you'll start wheezing really badly.

Faking sick works for a lot of things.

If the friend is really that annoying, what's the problem with being a itch to her?

But also, I don't think saying "I really want to go to this family event, sorry I can't go to your party" would really be such a bitchy thing.

Please help me.

So the situation is: my sister's friend who is really annoying, and thinks they're best friends, invited her to A party. Unwittingly she said yes. It turns that her friends boyfriend will be there. Along with her ex of two days, who wants to get back together. so stress is expected. And her friend will probably want to come for a sleepover and cry for two days. There will also a ton of alcohol. And she hardly drinks. Worst of all she will be forced to miss quite a lot of time with our family. people who she is actually looking forward to seeing. This friend won't take no for an answer.

So the question is this: how does she get out of this without having to just say "I changed my mind I want to spend time with my family"? Which she will pass of as her just being a *****.

And please respond with serious answers. Not "Kill her" or something.

EDIT: Okay. Important detail: this is my sister's problem, not mine. So if it sounds like I don't like this person, it's because don't really. I'll change the pronouns.

The friend knows about the family event.

She should say that she doesn't want to go. Just be honest. If they don't like it, too bad.

I'd have to say go with skipping the party, and seeing the family , it sounds like both you and her would prefer to have some family time, the guestlist for the party, combined with easy alcohol is a recipe for disaster, and it's a party, they happen, and they'll happen again.

the friend needs to understand that family members are coming that she'll only get to see very rarely and she really can't miss it.

Pleasantly surprised how many people are choosing the family first, tho I think like me its more the impending doom of that party, more than any choice of friends over family, helping us make that decision.

Normally I'd pick friends over family, as friends are the ones you chose, but really, this time, I think being there with family is the better deal.
