Am I reading too much into this?

Yesterday a friend of mine posted on fb they had spare tickets for a theatre show based on a murder plot. So I messaged my friend that I normally see shows with to see A if she was free and B if she fancied it.

About an hour later I got a notification on FB to say the tickets had been taken by someone else. My friend still hadn't replied to my message at this point so I sent another message to say 'Don't worry, someone else has taken the tickets'.

After work my friend messaged me to say she's only just seen my message cos she's been with a client all day. She then goes on to say 'I really don't appreciate that message. It's not nice'.

I was completely taken aback by her response. What have I done? So I asked her to clarify and she said offering me something and then taking it away from me again. We always do stuff like that together anyway. You know I'm busy with work during the day and cant always reply.

I'm still completely stunned by her response. I don't know why she responded like that. What could I have done to warrant such a reply?

I replied back with I was checking to see if you're free and if you wanted to go. This friend doesn't like horror or scary stuff at all and wasn't sure if a play about a murder would be up her street.

She replied with, it doesn't sound scary at all and put the laughing emoji.

I didn't reply after that and she hasn't messaged since. Am I reading too much into this or is she annoyed with me?

It sounds like she thinks that you chose another friend to go with you rather than the tickets went to someone else completely; is that possible?
If not then I think she’s over reacted and thought you were being funny with her.

Possibly....I didn't think about that but I wasn't being off with her at all, I was just letting her know

Sounds like she realised her reaction cane across a bit harsh and so then tried to make light of it. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.

Yes it def sounds like she thinks you’re going with someone else or personally proffered them elsewhere when you didn’t get a timely response. Also that she then didn’t want to make a big deal over it.

Maybe just clarify what happened and book something else/both buy tickets for the play anyway? 🙂

If I hadn't read the background, I would have thought you meant that you're taking someone else!

Yeah she thinks she got back to you too late and you’re going with someone else.

Reply, just to clarify, the tickets were withdrawn and that’s why I said they weren’t available for us.

Ps she’s being an arse though. Unnecessary.

I agree - there’s been a misunderstanding of some kind I think.
