To think my friends aren’t coming?

[UnluckyCoil]

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?

If its whatsapp I bet they've done that thing where they look at the notification so it doesn't show as read.

🤣🤣🤣

Surely they'll just come after 7pm?

I also get the no calling thing. Who phones anyone these days?

If they don't show up, I'm always free for bubbles and food!

Seriously? You think most people don't do Teams or Zoom calls?

Any news?

I also get the no calling thing. Who phones anyone these days?

The person who's wondering whether their friends are coming round or not, and decided to ask advice from internet strangers?

I mean, it would instantly solve her problem.

Me , then I know where I stand and what's happening without the angst of waiting for someone to read and reply to a text message .

Not with friends. That happened during covid but that’s it.

Placemarking cos I'm over infested!

It’s nearly 7. Relax and enjoy a few sips of wine and some nibbles. I hope they arrive soon and you all have a great time.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I wasn't talking about friends. I was asking about work.

You might want to call someone out about that!

🤣🤣🤣

So I messaged again, which they both read and haven’t replied so I guess I’ll find something to watch on Netflix and eat the crisps.

The suspense!

It's like my husband waiting for fast to end

Well I would have answered you but then that’s me, if none have answered that’s bit rude it’s 7pm now

I hope you called them out on that.

Really sorry OP. So bloody rude

Awwww, how disappointing.

Enjoy having the crisps to yourself

Sorry to hear this… they aren’t your friends.

I'd be tempted to message guess you aren't coming.

How very annoying

I will another day. A bit deflated tbh as I rarely do things like this and thought they were better than that.

ooooh it's 7 right now!!
i am way too interested/nosey as to whether they turn up.
also i never ring anyone but i think they're going to be flakey flakerman tbh as i used to have a friend who'd cancel everything always (she's not a friend any more tbh).
anyway - hope they do turn up
