to be annoyed at my friends about my birthday?

Had a birthday meal out on Saturday evening. Altogether there was 7 of us (including me).

We all live quite close to each other, and I sent everyone a text on the Wednesday and said we'll be getting the 7:00 bus from this stop, see you all there. Easier to get the bus as it runs frequently, its cheaper than a taxi and means we can all have a drink and not worry. We always get the bus whenever we go out for a few drinks too.

On Saturday morning, one of my friends text to say she would give me a lift as she wouldn't be going out drinking. I replied that thanks very much for the offer but you wouldn't be able to fit all the people in the car and I didn't want to be unfair by making others get the bus.

She then didn't text back until 6:00 saying sorry only just got your text, already text everyone who is going. Cue all my friends but 1 saying they are now getting a lift and will see me there. Knowing that I was still getting the bus.

I know it's silly to be upset but I turned down the offer of a lift as I thought it wouldn't be fair to everyone else, and then if it hadn't been for a friend running late I would have had to get the bus by myself whilst everyone else went together.

Just put me in a bad mood for the evening.

That was very thoughtful of you, shame it backfired OP how maddening. Next time make sure you do as friends do, think of #1!
