AIBU to cancel on friend?

[igetalong]

Was supposed to meet up at 2pm for a late lunch. She text at 2.10 to say she was still in work, no timeframe for when she might be leaving. She said she would text when she was finished but it means I need to hang around waiting on her for an indefinite period of time. DH has the car so I would need to walk or bus it to meet her.

AIBU to say I can't make it now? For context, she is often late but never by this much.

YANBU. She sounds a nightmare.

Obviously not. Rearrange for another time.

So were you already at the meeting point when she text you?

Are you still waiting now?

I don't get it?

I’d just go ahead and eat and leave when you’re done.

Of course YANBU! I hope to God you aren't still there waiting for her.

Yeah I was in the restaurant when she text. DH works a couple of streets over and he dropped me back home on his lunch break rather than me hanging around in town waiting.

So she wanted you to just wait around indefinitely?! FFS, cheeky mare!

That's not you cancelling. That's her cancelling after she was supposed to be there!

YANBU. You can't be expected to wait around until she's ready. Agree with PP, she's cancelled, not you.

If she's often late I don't think it's unreasonable to have gone home. It's rude to be late on a regular basis. What a shame.
