Friend didn’t show up

[NMc16]

I was supposed to meet a friend today for coffee. Gave it half an hour and they didn’t show. Sent a message before hand saying I was on my way. They read my message and didn’t reply. Why do people do this? It takes less than 2 seconds to send a message to say you can’t make it. So rude and bad manners. I get people have stuff going on but a simple text to say ‘I can’t make it’ really doesn’t take much.

Wow that is rude op. To see your message to say you are on the way read it and not respond... then tell you later they are not well. No fuck that. Tell them to do one.

V rude but I think I would have checked it was still on earlier than just before leaving

Your friend is rude

There's no excuse for her behaviour

I hope she apologised profusely?

Have they done this before - if so, don't bother with her again.

My ‘friend’ did this to me. She had a habit of always being late, so I waited thinking that was the case, after half an hour I texted. I saw that she’d read it but she didn’t reply, eventually after waiting for an hour and texting again asking her if she was ok, I went home. Over 3 hrs later she texted with, ‘I’m ok lol, I guess you realise I’m not coming now, I’ve been really busy painting and decorating, catch up soon!’
I’d put up with her lateness, but failing to let me know she wasn’t coming was the last straw. I caught up with her the following day and told her it was unacceptable to ignore my text and that I’d waited for an hour. I added that I felt disrespected by her and true friends don’t behave that way.
She got really stroppy, stormed off, and she hasn’t spoken to me since. I was very upset, but I’ve gotten over it. I don’t miss her but it does make it difficult and uncomfortable when I’m out with joint friends as she completely blanks me.
I advise that you end the friendship, it’s just not worth the hassle, she’s not a friend she’s a piss taker.

That would be end of friendship for me. Shows their true colours how they view your friendship. It will be worth the feeling bad about the no show to clear them away from your life in the long run.

She got a better offer and tucked you off.
I've had friends like this and to be honest I let the friendship sl7de.
It's not worth the hassle.

Perfect answer

Had a friend (someone I stayed in touch with after I left a job) who arranged to meet me in town. I waited and waited for her. I text her only for her to say she was running late as she was in a meeting. However I waited for almost an hour and spent a fortune in travel. Recently she tried to add me on facebook but as I get older I think, I am too old to be waiting around on people who don't make me a priority in their life. I agree with a previous comment on this thread; some people have become way too selfish to consider other's feelings. The biggest insult is when you see them on social media the same night, acting indifferent. Choose better friends.
