One of my friends always says wicked demanding stuff like "tell so-and-so that you called everyone about the party" or "come this way" when we're walking in the store. Ughhh it bothers the HELL out of me, i cannot STAND when people tell me what to do! How do I tell her nicely to STOP BEING SO EFFING BOSSY!?

Either you accept her for who she is, or kiss you friendship goodbye, she probably won't change for you. How bosy are you?...

I think maybe she is just friendly and excited that you are with her, not being deliberately bossy. Act like a friend and don't tell her off, - tell her to her face that you get hacked off by the directions here and there. Then she'll stop. No need to get worked up about something so small.

tell her point blank that it bothers you when she is very demanding. if she cant stop being bossy you will either have to deal with her as she is or find a new friend who isnt so bossy and demanding.

You know, I don't think your friend means any harm. It's just the way she is, and will probably always be that way ...
If you both have many heart to heart conversations, you need to come foward with this and maybe you can make this person aware of your feelings and a change could happen..I believe your friend isn't even aware of these things.
Time to enlighten her!

Ignore her when she is bossy.
Say "I didn't realize you were my drill sergeant MA'AM!"
Tell her to "say please or do it yourself"
When she says "come this way" bark like a dog and quickstep up to her and stick your tongue out like you are a puppy then say "yes master" in a Scooby doo voice.
Don't bother telling her nicely, she obviously isn't a good enough friend to talk to her nicely about it.

Say "Yes, Ma'am!!" and salute her...a little humor will diffuse the hurt (I hope). And smile as soon as she looks at you. If she continues, you continue, too, and see if she picks up on how often you salute her. If not, she's wicked thick.

maybe speak to her privately that u feel shes demeaning in her tone and how she adresses u. or say it back to her and see how she likes it.
