To be upset with my sisters txt

Catchuptv · 27/08/2017 13:03

So my sister invited me and my OH over to her house yesterday. I ignored the txt because I was tired and couldn't be bothered.

Today I just saw a txt from her saying 'I suppose that means your not coming over' This was sent last night at 9pm.

Not sure how to reply - I have turned her down in the past but I'm really miffed with her reply.

Is that a joke? Or a reverse?

Hmm
Namechangetempissue · 27/08/2017 13:05

You were very rude not to respond. How hard is it to say 'no thank you'. YABU to be miffed.

SantanicoPandemonium · 27/08/2017 13:05

Her text was a lot politer then you ignoring her. Why didn't you send a quick text back saying you couldn't make it?

Trb17 · 27/08/2017 13:05

Either this is a reverse or YABU.

PuppyMonkey · 27/08/2017 13:06

You should reply: "I'm so sorry I never got back to you, it was very rude of me."

StillDrivingMeBonkers · 27/08/2017 13:07

White lie "sorry, wasn't feeling well, fell asleep for most of the day" - unless you were all over social media in which case you're not ging to get away with it.

PinkHeart5911 · 27/08/2017 13:07

Your miffed with her?

You ignored her because you "couldn't be bothered" I'm sorry but it would of taken 2 minutes to reply with I can't tomorrow sorry

Maybe she needed to know how many to get food for, what to cook etc

Imo your the rude one here for ignoring the invite in the first place

Gemini69 · 27/08/2017 13:08

how hard was it to send a simple reply of 'not today Sis' ... you were rude OP.. sorry x

EsmeeMerlin · 27/08/2017 13:08

Either a reverse or YABU

Shoxfordian · 27/08/2017 13:09

Yeah you could have said no

Doyoumind · 27/08/2017 13:09

Why didn't you just respond? How did she know you weren't going to come? Really rude IMO.

YABU or as PP said a reverse, though a pointless one as whoever didn't respond is clearly BU.

HellToupee · 27/08/2017 13:09

YABU And very rude to boot.

Catchuptv · 27/08/2017 13:10

OK - thanks just wondered if her reply was cheeky - I can see that's not the opinion here.

StillDrivingMeBonkers will try that. I wasn't all over social media so should be OK.

YABVVVU

It takes a few seconds to text 'Yes, thank you' or 'No, thank you'.

DramaAlpaca · 27/08/2017 13:10

I think it's your sister who should be miffed, not you. It would've been good manners to reply to her text.

Wishimaywishimight · 27/08/2017 13:10

Perhaps reply with a sincere apology for not replying to her invitation. You were very rude to ignore an invitation because you "couldn't be bothered". If I was your sister I would make that my last invitation to you, you don't appear to have any manners.

Catchuptv · 27/08/2017 13:10

What does YABU and BU mean?

SonicBoomBoom · 27/08/2017 13:10

These shitty threads are so pointlessly frustrating.

AlternativeTentacle · 27/08/2017 13:11

I ignored the txt because I was tired and couldn't be bothered.

Surely it would have been easier to just text back 'sorry, exhausted sis. see you soon x' than have to spend the time and effort today to write out this thread?

Redglitter · 27/08/2017 13:11

You're miffed with her?

You were downright rude to ignore her text.
Ffs it would have taken you 5 seconds to reply to her

TumbleBee · 27/08/2017 13:11

Really struggling to see how you could have interpreted her text as cheeky, given that you were the one being rude. Confused

Namechangetempissue · 27/08/2017 13:11

YABU -You are being unreasonable
BU - Being unreasonable

AIBU -am i being unreasonable

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 27/08/2017 13:12

YABU = You Are Being Unreasonable. Which you are.

Catchuptv · 27/08/2017 13:13

Usually my sister doesn't do this type of thing that's why I'm shocked. I have ignored some of her messages in the past and she normally acts like she hasn't seen them before.

Thanks for info reference the acronyms.

Surely you know it's Am I Being Unreasonable etc given your thread title makes sense? Confused
