What should I do with Kiwi who has never been to London before?

Mrs Miggins said:
Actually I need to vent a bit more about this.
He was originally coming to King's Cross Friday evening and I was meeting him at 6pm. He texted mid afternoon Friday to say that his "meeting" (which I never got to the bottom off) was running late and he had to stay in Cambridge after all that evening. Which was fine.

Then 8pm (whilst in my dressing gown eating a vast bowl of noodles), I get a text saying that he can't find any accomodation and can he come after all on a late train. So I said fine (although it's not really fine ;) ). Then he texts again saying he's found somewhere to stay after all and that he'd get a train to London around 11am on Saturday and would text me when he's on the train. Fine!

So Saturday comes. 11am passes...12 o'clock passes...1pm passess....1:45pm I get a text "I'm on the train and will be at King's Cross at 2:30pm. I had a look round Cambridge market" - FFS! I'm getting really cross now :mad:

Saturday walking round London is ridiculous given his lack of interest in anything.
Saturday evening is a takeaway and his choice of movie on Netflix. He spends most of the time watching the film texting someone else.

Sunday morning we get up, I make coffee and breakfast. We make a plan to go to the Science Museum. I get in the shower and then give him a clean towel so he can get a shower and get ready to go. He then proceeds to spend 40 minutes just talking in the phone to someone.

He's lucky I didn't stab him at that point.

As if you had not had your fill of kiwi's :facepalm::eek:
I have to say, my experience (s) with a couple of kiwi's could not be further from that ;)

I am beginning to wonder whether all Kiwi men are so wrapped up in themselves that they have no respect for any other human being. Least of all the woman who happens to be hanging around.

This, of course, is based on a sample size of 2 so may or may not be conclusive ;):D
 
For fuck's sake don't go for coffee. It's still 99% shit in the UK and the Kiwi will remind you of it. No pre-heating cups blah blah
 
What a total prick. I'd have withheld the chicken too.

Plus. defriending you and others on FB within 24 hours, fuck me. Not even a shred of diplomacy about it. I'd definitely send a message and block. How do you even know this person?

What I hate most about it is he held you hostage in your own life for the weekend. Ungrateful pig. :D

Yep - I was supposed to be finishing decorating my bedroom this weekend. I'd been reluctant to host him to start with because of that but I explained by flat was upside down and if he didn't mind that, he could still come and stay. Wish I'd just said no now :D

This one wouldn't know a decent cup of coffee if it stood up and bit him :D

He'd never eaten a baguette before Sunday morning and told me that "we don't have those in New Zealand" which is absolute bollocks.

How the fuck do I find these people? :D

Send him a message first telling him how pissed off you are and why. Once you know he has read it block him so he can't whine a justification at you. :D

I am debating whether to send him a message saying "this is what the weekend felt like to me..." :(

Maybe I didn't make him feel welcome enough? Maybe he felt awkward? Maybe there is other stuff going on in his life and he was out of sorts? Or maybe he's just a prick! I dunno.

Couple of Tinder dates just before I left NZ. I stayed at his place for the last couple of days in NZ so that I didn't have to stay in the other house. He helped me sell my car before I left so I felt like I owed him a bit.

I'm surprised you had two dates and stayed at his place for a couple of days but no clue as to what a rubbish guest he'd be over here. Did his personality change wildly from when you knew him in NZ?

Difficult to tell. He was decent and attentive when I was with him in NZ. He wasn't always on the phone or texting someone else for instance and we did have some reasonable conversations. I was totally not prepared for being messed about this much or for him being so disinterested!
 
How utterly shit of a guest to be so iconsiderate and rude, especially given your effort and patience.

I'd just fuck him off altogether.
