To now drop this person as a friend?

[Drowningmysorroes]

Invited a friend to brunch, it had already been paid for and wouldn’t have cost them anything.

I asked them multiple times to confirm they were still going, said if you’re not then that’s fine but let me know as I can ask someone else.

They didn’t even bother to show up or let me know. I text them and they read it and didn’t even respond.

Bloody hell, that's so rude of them

Cut them off. Don’t engage any more time on them not worth the hassle. That’s a really shitty thing to do.

I would never contact them again. They were unforgivably rude. Absolutely no excuse for that. They are not a friend, sorry OP.

I think it's a no brainer unless they've had their phone stolen.

I did this once, over a birthday tea where you could book in multiples of four so four, eight, twelve and so on.

The day before, five people dropped out.

They are no longer friends.

Unbelievably rude

There’s a tiny chance they could have had a genuine emergency, so don’t do anything rash.

Yes, though, I would distance myself. In the absence of a massive emergency, o would say that’s definitely not a friend.

That’s not a friend. Get rid.

You can't drop this person as a friend because they've already dropped you, sorry.

Never text that person again. DTM

So what did you do?

Not a friend op, that's awful

Unless there’s a major drip feed coming about them losing both hands this morning in an unfortunate garden strimmer accident, I’d not have anything more to do with them.

Unless there is more to this like a broken/stolen phone then I would drop them.

You certainly won't be dumping a friend.

Unbelievably rude.

Nope, Game over. Wouldn't put them out if they were on fire now.

Actually would only still be their friend if they had actually gone on fire and couldn't make it.

Bye Bye Felicia.

That's bloody rude.

Unfortunately I work with them so I will be seeing them again

Just stay civil at work but don't bother with them outside of work any more.

Be civil at work if they say hi, say hi back. But don’t engage with them any further than talking about work things. You’ll be okay OP, can’t you take a family member to brunch instead?

There’s no drip feed, like I said I work with them and so asked a couple of times in the week if they were definitely going.

I would not be bothered if they then said no, because I would have asked someone else. They took away the opportunity for me to ask someone else and knew it. Couldn’t even be bothered to apologise.

They didn’t even bother to show up or let me know. I text them and they read it and didn’t even respond.

Should you drop them as a friend? I think they've saved you the bother and got there first.

Bloody rude, but it seems some people just don't get the discourtesy and the lost place. I'd certainly mention it in work, while remaining coolly civil.

You’ll be okay OP, can’t you take a family member to brunch instead?

Well the brunch was yesterday. I also have other friends, so don’t feel sorry for me,

I’m more talking about the behaviour of someone saying they would do something, not show up, not even say they weren’t coming and when confronted just ignore you.

Should you drop them as a friend? I think they've saved you the bother and got there first.

Exactly. Message was sent loud and clear.

I would hold off until tomorrow at work and see if they give you a valid reason in person, on the off-chance they did have a genuine emergency, but if they don't mention it, I would do as a PP suggested and remain civil but cool at work, and don't contact them as a friend again.
