If you asked someone what there up to and they replied what do you think I’m uoto at this time.
Would you be annoyed ? That’s a snotty reply in my eyes ?

No no kids

Show quote history

Then I reckon bestie is definitely doing something they reckon you'd know about. So like a favourite show or a cheeky midweek glass of wine. I would not assume they're being rude, probably just a joke amongst friends.

I think its rude. If you are in bed....simply reply the next day. No need for that reply. I'd take it the same way as you OP. You had reached out to send a message.....no need for that reply. I'd be hurt and to be honest probably wouldnt message them again!

I messaged her at 9pm. That was her reply

9pm...do they have young kids? Sounds like the response a frazzled mama might send while getting kids to bed.

No no kids

It depends. Were they just sitting down to watch Masterchef as they watch every episode without fail and hate being interrupted while they are? Is Thursday night quiz night or yoga? Or anything else that you could probably be expected to know they’d be doing at 9pm? I’d probably reply to my best friend the same way if I thought she would know where I am every Thursday at 9!

If you sent that in the last 20 mins, even the last hour, you'd have got the same reply from me!
It's late, they're in bed trying to sleep!

No I sent it at 9pm

Depends, are we talking in general, or right now in the UK so after midnight? If it's the latter, you just woke them up so clearly they're going to be pissed

It was at 9pm tonight
