aibu to have placed my order without chasing up a friends order?

[extralazymum]

I was ordering from a sales brochure with high postal costs unless you buy over a cerrtain amount; my friend wanted to add her order to mine.

I told her several times my deadline for phoning in the order was Friday. She had not confirmed her order by Friday so I placed my order without adding hers to it.

She is fumming! She says I should have contacted her on Friday but I have been reminding her for weeks and I would had ordered weeks ago if she had let me know what she wanted.

I last reminded her on Tuesday. Am I that bad a friend to have placed the order without phoning her first?

No. Maybe next time she'll get her arse into gear.

I would have done the same. Its her los.

What a pampered princess. Tell her she's being absolutely ridiculous.

YANBU tough titty to her.

Yanbu, in her position I'd have made sure you had the money well before Friday.

No, she's being a berk. You told her so many times, you waited for her when you wanted to place your order ages ago and you even reminded her of the deadline 3 days beforehand.

She's being an arse. How dare she do the lip wobbly you is sooo mean to me bullshit?

I'd be telling her to shut up. Reminding her how long I waited and how many times I reminded her.

As its sales - its limited stock so the later you leave it then the less chance you have of them being in stock.

She's ordering from the current brochure so no time limits.

She's hassling me about when I'm doing my next order now. I've told her it's too much hassle and I don't know when I'll next order - it really stressed me out trying to get her order from her and now she's called me a selfish cow and a poor excuse for a friend.

Was she going to pay half the postal costs, or was she expecting you to pay them "because you were ordering anyway"?

I was the one doing her the favor. I don't understand why she's being so horrible. Why should I have to chase her order.

It would have been easy to have phoned her on Friday to be honest. She didn't seem keen to order and it felt like I was hassling her and she didn't really want to so that's why I didn't phone her on friday.

I get fed up with a person like this. Always wants me to add something to my "next order" and if I say it won't be for months, says she will wait. I do get stuff for her, but there is never a reciprocal offer to add my things to her order; she even goes to the shop on occasions (in another town) but never offers to get me anything. Bah. I just don't tell her now

It's free postage for above £100.

She's not ordering now as the postage is too high.

I could have easily phoned/text her to ask her one final time yesterday.

She is being a cow, tbh. How many times does a person need reminding? She's blaming you for her poor organisational skills. Maybe this will teach her a lesson.

But don't allow her to call you names. She's no friend to you if she's being like this over something that is her own fault.

your friend's being a cow. YANBU. you gave her every chance and she's an adult!

You gave her enough chances to get her act together. yanbu.
