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?

Let us know OP, did they turn up?

If people wasted time speaking to each other nothing would ever get done. The country would be in total chaos.
Ridiculous suggestion.

I ignore everybody. 😁😁

I bet they have turned up and the OP is having a lovely evening. I wouldn't expect her to be updating MN to let us know - her friends would think her a bit odd, typing away on her phone instead of catching up on all the gossip and chatter.

I’m sorry your friends are so rude.

You should ring them or text them and tell them how disappointed you are that they did not bother to let you know they weren’;t coming, and that you had gone to trouble to cater and get drinks in.

They should be made to feel guilty

I hope you manage to have a nice evening despite them 💐

Just message and say 'hey my queens, looking forward to seeing you all later'.

If any of my friends wrote this I'd think they'd had a stroke. But then again, none of them would offer to 'fix my crown' either, thank fuck.

They're your friends OP. Can't you just message to ask if all ok for later? Or, if you're over 35, call them?

Hope they’ve come OP!

That's rubbish OP, did they ever get in contact?

They're not friends op. Friends would never do that.

Aw OP.

So sorry. Hopefully they have turned up by now!

hope you are having a nice night op

Op I’m sorry to hear that! Your friends sound rubbish, if they had changed their mind then they could have easily messaged!
Drink your wine, enjoy your snacks and have a nice relaxing night!

As op hasn't been on since 19:00, I'm hoping her friends have turned up and she is having a lovely evening.

Never phone anyone at work. Ever. We just don't do it as an organisation. Better to keep a provable trail. All emails or messaging. Thank god.

Wow OP this is appalling behaviour, I'm so sorry. I think you need new friends I'm afraid.

Hopefully they turned up and you’re having a great time

Why do people think the "friends" will answer the phone to the OP when they won't even reply to messages they read??

I hope so too.

Absolutely no cuckolding involved.

Whoops, wrong post.

I hope you're okay. I had a similar thing happen and it was so sad as we'd been friends for years. I feel for you 💗

I hope they've turned up and you're too busy to reply.

Good idea

Woah, that isn't what friends do, what a pair of twats.

Hope they turned up and the OP has been too busy hosting to update.

Same tbh
