2 hours late.

[Mrsknackered]

Children in bed for 6.15pm with DP's bestfriend and his new girlfriend arriving for 6.30pm. I've made dinner and had the table set since that time. Said it couldn't be a ridiculously late thing as I have desperately got to prep for exams.
Got a text at 7.30pm saying 'we are running to the shop first, need anything?' I replied 'no thank you, dinner's getting cold!' No reply.
We've been stood up haven't we!?
Really wish I had stuck with the original plan of revision, Grey's Anatomy and a take away :( AIBU to just cancel now? And have a (very rare) evening with DP?

As you haven't up dated take it they haven't arrived- please turn them away if they do!!!!

Why didn’t you call them at 7.30 and say “we arranged it for 6.30, you’re really late?”

If he's on whatsapp then I doubt they've been in an accident. Texting one hour after they were supposed to be there saying - do you want anything - also suggests they had no intention of being on time

So unbelievably rude

Glad you ate. Enjoy the snuggle time. I'd just drop them. No texts asking where they are. You clearly mean so much to them

Have a good one

How bloody rude!

The girlfriend's new and presumably doesn't have your number, but DH's best friend should have the courtesy to text at least.

That's bloody awful! Half hour maybe understandable, but two fucking hours with no text?

Jeez some people are appallingly rude

Shameless place-mark. Do update us if you hear anything more!
How incredibly rude of them

I'm astounded. What does yr DH think about it?

his bf is a twat how can your dp feel bad about not letting them in its 3 hours late!

Yes go ahead and eat OP.I reckon they were two cowardly to turn up after your (fair enough)text reply.
Happy New Year

Cancel. Eat. Have a bit of OH.

Wow NYECF’s

How rude!! I have a friend like this and he almost takes pride in the fact that he's always inappropriately late..... Invitations are dwindling!!

By the way I'm on my own on NYE and am now far too invested in whether they turn up or not.

That’s awful!!!!!! Please please please answer the door, tell them to ‘do one’ and shut it again.

Me too. I need to know!

bloody outrageous! i'd tell them to fuck off if only they would show themselves to hear it.

get dh undressed so he can't open the door

Disgustingly rude. We have friends that appear 2hrs+ late and the rest of the guests sitting starving. Stopped inviting them and they complained to other people that we no longer invite them and they have no idea why .

Doesn't sound like your guests are coming at all, chalk it up to experience and enjoy your night. This says a lot about a person, maybe you need new friends.

How bloody rude. I'd text and tell them not to bother.

awfukl

This is brilliant. 'Hello, I'm so sorry we took a nap and the alarm didn't go off. Any chance we can come over first thing tomorrow?'

What a load of BS.

I said, "no, out tomorrow"

"Can we make a date for later in the week?"

Not going to reply. No we fucking can't!

Did they nap at the shop?

Twats
