To think my friends aren’t coming?

UnluckyCoil · 01/04/2023 17:16

Arranged earlier in the week for a catch up round mine which is a rarity as my DH is away- both friends agreed to come.
This morning at 9am, put a message in the group chat asking what time they were coming so I can make sure my house is tidy, make sure baby is asleep etc and neither have them have replied or even opened the message.
They are the kind of people who have theirs phones with them 24/7 so can’t imagine they’ve not looked at their phones for 8hrs.
I don’t mind but I guess I just want to know either way.. and I’ve bought drinks and snacks. I’d feel embarrassed to put a chase message in the group chat.
They aren’t coming are they?

Bet they turned up.. OP got off her face, and hasnt come back because shes got the hangover from hell.

Nah, given she was too scared to just phone them to get an answer one way or another, she probably was also too scared to open the door 🤣

PrinceHaz · 02/04/2023 23:04

I bet they turned up at 7.02.

LiesDoNotBecomeUs · 02/04/2023 23:43

@UnluckyCoil I hope you had a good night!😁

So OP is ghosting us like her friends (may have) ghosted her? Maybe it’s normal in her social circle after all 🤷🏽‍♀️

its not that deep - she doesn’t owe anyone anything 😂 everyone acting like their weekend was at a standstill because they didn’t get a mere update on a forum post

I think the comment was tongue in cheek. Because no, it’s ‘not that deep’… I thought only teenagers used that expression!

Well I learnt some jive talk from this so I'm happy, hepcats!

JoeLovesGina · 03/04/2023 08:21

@UnluckyCoil any update OP?

Well, for most people its different to get a text and a phonecall. In terms of hearing it ring. People are more likely to notice a call than a message and more likely to actually answer it.

I keep my phone on silent. I hate phone alert noises. Dp does the same.

Pocketfullofdogtreats · 03/04/2023 09:42

Please let us know if they turned up, OP, and then this thread can disappear back into the primeval swamp and something more up to date can take its place in Trending. I hope they turned up.

Lol that post sounded exactly like the character from Miranda - can't think of the character name but you know the one played by Sally Phillips!

withlovefromlou · 03/04/2023 10:31

Totally invested in this thread, OP. Any update on how things went?

It was a joke girl, relax 😄

@IsaiditwasLighthearted

Thanks for your message, yes I ended the friendship. I couldn't bring myself to speak or even look at her after that. She was always a teeny bit on the self-centred side, but nothing in that scale!

cannockcandy · 03/04/2023 15:19

Had a very similar experience myself recently and ended up sobbing to my OH at 10pm. Sometimes people show us their true colours and we are blind to them until it's literally right in front of our faces. I'm so sorry you've been let down like this. It truly is heartbreaking xxx

CamoFlamingo · 03/04/2023 15:32

That is so shitty of them. I think you need to re-think your friendship.
