I get the picture, you’re the a-hole, not your friends.

That’s just common decency when going to someone’s house.

Hey what time do you want people there? Do you need me to bring anything? Two completely logical and appropriate questions.

We always have people over at my house for functions. I really don’t like it when people come before we expect them to because if I have things to do before the function it kind of throws me off a bit because I feel like I have to entertain them if they’re over

You are right the way I wrote it. I'll try to clarify. These aren't acquaintances, these are people way past formalities. They can show up anytime, any day. If you have a problem call...most of us are like:
Hey, wanna come over Saturday?
Sure.
(Then Saturday a call or text) On my way, need anything?
Nah, we'll figure it out.
cool

The ones i was trying to describe go on forever. And they keep coming up with new contingencies that need to be considered. Then they (obviously) start talking together and creating more drama. The question of food gets ridiculous. When they have something they tell us specific things to bring and other instructions. Which we do, but when we say, bring nothing and we'll take care of it all it seems to piss them off. Once one guy was dividing what everybody owed at a game down to the cents. I went up and paid for it all and he sulked. I just don't like being bothered with all that. Who cares?
