To ask if you think...

[MiaMarshmallows]

An 'OK' response is fine if someone is doing you a favour?
For example, a friend was going to drop my grandchild off to school in the morning but plans changed so I only need her to do it in the afternoon. I told her this over text and she replied saying she would just co the afternoon pick up. I replied with 'OK. ' now it looks rude reading it back.
Aibu?

I would have probably added a thanks.

Why didn't you just put a 'thanks' on the end? You were very rude, yes.

I too would have at least said 'thanks so much', 'really appreciate it' or 'thats great, thanks'.

Just message her a 'Thanks, again for picking my granddaughter up. Really helped..' etc and your dilemma is solved.

You should definitely say thanks.

It does seem quite rude. I'd have said thank you

I don't think so. If you're friends definitely no need to be always be over polite, it's just a text. Just say thanks when she drops her off.

Thank you would have been the best reply

Smiley faces help to

Yep, you were rude.

Well, presumably you thanked her profusely in the first place when it was arranged, so I think it's permissible.

Just send a 'pressed SEND too soon' message that says thank you

Yes.

But if you send a follow up message thanking them it can all be saved

Yes this sounds good

Yes ok was abrupt and rude, it happens though and as pp have said, easily fixable with a follow up text.

It's a bit abrupt. Maybe add a message to the end saying 'by the way thank you so much it's really appreciated! '

No, it's not fine to just say 'ok' if someone is doing you a favour.

Yes YABU and should have said thank you.

Well hellfire you’ve got mn going on manners and mn is obsessed with manners
Send a follow up text, saying oops sent too soon.Thanks for collecting X
You’re not rude you simply inadvertently sent a brief reply

I'm trying to think of a very close relationship where this would be permissable, but even if it were my mum or partner doing me a favour, I would say thanks rather than just "ok".

But as others have said, easily fixed with a follow up.

I just wanted to acknowledge I had read the text rather than deliberately being rude.

Ok, that's great

Ok, cheers for that

Ok, much appreciated

Any of those would've been better!

Yeah, it comes off quite rude. I have a colleague like this and when doing them a favour and letting them know whatever is complete for them, all I get is an 'OK' reply. Grinds my gears - adding a 'thank you' doesn't hurt.

Ok. Thanks very much for helping me out. x
