Cancelled plans

13 replies

I had plans with a friend of mine to grab lunch and go out after to do something. She messaged me this morning cancelling plans saying that her sister had gone into labour and she would like to be close by her phone if it was ok to reschedule, which I of course said wasn't an issue and wished her sister a happy and good delivery.
The issue is that she's just posted some photos of her and a friend she's gone out with today and i'm thinking surely that's a bit off, no?
Should I cancel our reschedule? I feel a little bit mugged off, and don't actually feel like seeing her at all anymore. I would've rather been told she double booked and if we could do another day.

Comment on her pic so she knows you've seen it, something nice along the lines of 'ooooh looks yummy, enjoy' or whatever. Let her squirm and see if she'll address it.

Were the photos def from today though? Maybe she posted them from another day?

If she's a good friend I'd just phone and ask if her sister is OK, and get the gist of the day - if she has lied, that's a bit crap so just explain that you don't mind her cancelling plans and there's no need to make an excuse at all.

If it happened again I wouldn't be impressed!

That's a shitty thing to do. I despise lying.
I might feel inclined to comment on the post and ask if the baby had been born.

Bunnichick · 09/05/2023 21:36

I agree that's shitty butterflies as PP says are they definitely photos of today?

Tinkerbyebye · 09/05/2023 21:38

I would post something bland about the picture and ask if her sister has had the baby

Bunnichick · 11/05/2023 06:42

Has your friend done this shit before?

SparklyBlackKitten · 11/05/2023 09:08

Comment on the photo of course

mainsfed · 11/05/2023 09:15

I would just text her - ‘hey, just saw you were out and about yesterday. Did sis have the baby? Hope all ok x’

She's not a real friend she found someone more appealing to spend her time with. Such a crappy move to then post about it on social media clearly doesn't give a f*#k sorry!

Not nice. Yes think I would comment on photo. Op I find friends flaky past while so I dont chase people now.
