This isn't the first time she's cancelled plans, some of them for legit reasons and some of them for more like 'I'm super tired after work and want to nap instead'. Anyway, this particular time I'm quite annoyed, don't know if it's because the cancellation have accumulated or because it's a "something better came up" type thing.
I have a baby (under 1) and my best friend suggested we go to a Halloween light show type thing. It was her suggestion, not mine, and the light show is a good 40 minutes drive from my house (similar from hers, but we live about 1hr15 from each others house). I agreed and bought tickets, I wouldn't have gone without her as it's easier with our baby to go to local parks, and it's not like the baby understands Halloween anyway. This was about a month before the event. Now it's less than a week to go and she's casually called me to say she'd rather go and visit her sister at uni, because if she doesn't go now she won't be able to in the following few weekends. Wasn't particularly apologetic, just "I'm not going, hope you have fun anyway".
Is that not the most pathetic excuse?
