To do UnFriendFebruary

[TransferDeadlineDay]

Reached the stage beyond pissed off.

A very good friend messaged me yesterday with a question that required a lengthy response. I responded within 2 minutes of her original text.

It was delivered but not read.

Few hours later

Me : ‘ Hope you got it sorted ‘

Same as before

I’m cutting the ties - 48 years of age I’m going to invest in true friends

I think I would message one more time. Maybe just, "Hello?" Or call her.

My very good friend is being shit at replying to messages at the moment. I'd be annoyed in your situation too.

Op, YANBU, it takes seconds to reply with a Thanks.
I’m going to join you in unfriendly February, I have a couple that make no effort unless I do all the running & I can’t be arsed. People are rude

YABU because phone/video calls are the only non face to face comms where a delayed response is rude.

If you want a reply today, phone. If you want a reply sometime over the next few days: me message/email/text

Written coms is not expected to be instant.

I am dreadful at replying to messages. I will often send something to someone, put my phone down for the day and go about my business.

Then I will check messages before bed, think ‘oh, I’ll reply to that in morning’ and then promptly forget all about it.

It’s not personal, but life does not evolve around my phone. I’d always suggest someone call me if they want to discuss something with me.

I don't get alerts from messaging apps so I won't see messages until I browse that app again, if someone urgently wants to speak to me I assume the'll phone.

And I won't reply at night incase they DO have alerts set "on"

YABU and weird. Calm down a bit!

Honest to god if I had a uti and didn't respond to a text and they followed up with 'hello?' or got pissed off that I hadn't texted back, it would not be them ending the friendship. What a fucking way to behave.

Has she not read it? I often leave messages unread until I have time to look at them properly. The unread sign is a reminder to me that they are waiting.

The woman wasn't too ill to post on facebook but ignored a friend who helped her.

Has she bothered to reply yet, op?

I'm surprised you didn't call her to check she's OK.

That’s one thing I used to hate about Fb, was when you would send a message or lengthy reply and they have read it and never both to reply, they just go dead until next time they need to speak to you. It is extremely rude. Especially in my case , when it was always the ones who basically lived on fb. Lol

Perhaps she feels she can't reply to a long message with just a 'thanks' she may feel she needs to compose a longer reply but hasn't got the time or the energy to do so right away? FB is easy to just post onto sometimes.

Yabu - you have no idea why she did not reply and you’ve gotten upset about it.

She's an ARSE .. and Arse with no common decency .... ditch block and find much nicer friends... not piss takers

You expected her to have sorted out a UTI in a few hours? Shit happens (to her at the moment) you’re not top priority, get over it!
