night out planned for tonight. One particular friend has a habit of cancelling on the day and has done for years so I’ve been expecting the cancelling message. As predicted at 7am this morning I get the message “sorry will have to drop out tonight, I have terrible diarrhoea 😞”
I reply “ok no worries x” (as I said, I was expecting it) and then for whatever reason she sent another message saying “I was worried you would think I was making it up so I took this … “
she then sent me a photo of her used (and very abused!) toilet 🤮 I replied “didn’t need to see that lol” and I didn’t hear back.
5 minutes ago she sent another photo of the toilet in a state saying “it’s not stopping 😭”
now I’m grossed out! But clearly she’s not making it up! I’m wondering if I’ve gave her the impression that I never believe her?! Was there anything wrong in my initial reply? DH thinks I should have told her I hope she’s feeling better soon but honestly - I didn’t believe she was genuinly ill
For context, she’s cancelled plans on me (including attending my wedding!) for well over 20 years
AIBU?
To be grossed out by friend?

Am I being unreasonable?

Maybe she has stress issues? Irritable Bowel when something is on is a thing.

Not unreasonable not to believe her, given she has such long-standing form for flakiness.
(I'd also be highly suspicious the disgusting photos are in fact some random stock photos, but I concede I may be more sceptical than most)
