To be upset with my sisters txt

150 replies

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.

If you treat your sister like shit I would hate to be one of your friends.

Namechangetempissue · 27/08/2017 13:15

But....I don't get it? Her text wasn't in the slightest bit rude? You ignored her (rude) so she confirmed that you were not coming. No swearing or name calling. Perhaps she is sick of you being flaky as fuck and never replying?

Gorgosparta · 27/08/2017 13:15

Maybe she is fed up of you not being arsed.

CoughLaughFart · 27/08/2017 13:16

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.

Maybe she's finally cracked after putting up with your pig ignorance for so long.

Notreallyarsed · 27/08/2017 13:17

You were rude to ignore her message, she was rude to respond the way she did. You're as bad as each other, both of you sound very petty and childish.

Moanyoldcow · 27/08/2017 13:18

SHE hasn't done anything! Are you really so self involved can't see how rude you were?

Go on, spill. Why on earth would you ignore her messages, particularly ones that are simply inviting you over? Is she a convicted murderer and has always planned your demise? Does she jump on you when you walk through the door? Does she insist on playing chess until midnight, or not letting you use the toilet, or sit upside down on the sofa?

What is so wrong with your sister?

BillyDaveysDaughter · 27/08/2017 13:19

She isn't the one who was rude

elfies · 27/08/2017 13:21

Awwwwww C'mon , you're joking !
If I were your sister I would have sent a message far worse than that. All you had to do was say sorry can't make it .

CoughLaughFart · 27/08/2017 13:21

You were rude to ignore her message, she was rude to respond the way she did.

Really?

mscongeniality · 27/08/2017 13:22

Are people really this self deluded? She was nice enough to invite you for dinner and you 'couldn't be bothered to reply'. You say it so matter of factly like its normal behaviour. No, its not, its very rude.

Notreallyarsed · 27/08/2017 13:22

CoughLaughFart if it was me, I'd have left it without resorting to a petty text in return. That's what I meant.

PeaFaceMcgee · 27/08/2017 13:22

Your behaviour is completely rude, ignorant and ungrateful. HTH (hope that helps).

You completely deserved her annoyance at you. You should apologise and make it up to her.

InsomniacAnonymous · 27/08/2017 13:23

Notreallyarsed what on earth was rude about the sister's message?

Notreallyarsed · 27/08/2017 13:24

Fair enough, rude is probably the wrong word. Petty sums it up better I suppose. Maybe I've just got the point in life where I can't be arsed with pettiness and wouldn't bother responding.

thegirlupnorth · 27/08/2017 13:24

I tell people that a text is like a letter you might know it'll have been delivered but no guarantee when it'll be read. If you want me urgently or require a response immediately speak to me!

YANBU to ignore and reply in your own time. Ring her, explain above and say yes you'd like to go over or no you've got plans, simple!

EverythingEverywhere1234 · 27/08/2017 13:24

YABU and were very rude. It takes two seconds to reply and say no thank you.

Maybe she had finally had enough of her sister being a rude cow and decided to call you out on it.

You sound mean.

GriefLeavesItsMark · 27/08/2017 13:26

This sounds like a very difficult situation

BMW6 · 27/08/2017 13:30

What a bitch YOU are. Couldn't be bothered even to send a text in reply to the invitation saying too tired, no thanks...........

Copperspot · 27/08/2017 13:30

You were rude. It takes 10 seconds to reply

'sorry not tonight, im shattered. Thanks though, will arrange something soon'

Seriously....some people blow my mind....

Willow2017 · 27/08/2017 13:31

Someone's rude and it isn't your sister.

PurpleDaisies · 27/08/2017 13:31

InsomniacAnonymous · 27/08/2017 13:33

OP, what if you had invited a couple to your house and they ignored you? You may then have been wondering whether they were not going to come at all or were going to turn up late evening and so sent the same text your sister sent you.
It was YOU and only you who were rude.
