Spurred by the "self-inviting friend" thread
Okay, I've got a question for you all then: obviously simply inviting yourself along is rude. I think we've reached an agreement on that. However, how does everyone feel about a friend asking to be invited? "We're going to the yadda yadda." "Oh cool. Can I come?" or whatever.
I'm torn on the issue. I personally don't ask for invitations or invite myself, and that person asking can make for an uncomfortable situation (especially if you're refusing them), but sometimes I genuinely just don't think to invite someone, and it creates an opportunity.
