Am I wrong for still being annoyed about this?

[jaymosenvied]

Sound like my plug before the dispensary opened but naw you have every right to be annoyed.

 

[putting in work]

Yeah that's how it be sometimes.

I thought this was with every friend group. Dudes will be talking about almost there getting ready to exit off and they haven't even left their house.

Probably playing video games or rubbing one out or something.

Live and learn Flatbush.

I've called out my friends for this over the years. You have a cell phone. Use it and communicate like a functioning adult. If you want to cancel plans, fine. Let me know, but don't just no-show, or keep putting it off. I don't even need a reason. Saves me a couple hours. Sounds like they showed up because they didn't actually want to be there, but felt obligated at a certain point to follow through. That's even worse.

I’m more upset they brought a toddler

I'd be just as pissed as you though. I hate when folks are late man. Zero tolerance but what you went through was just wild. If I knew they were generally late folks, I would have needed more confirmation before I left MY house. So you are partially to blame as well. (No disrespect)

Had to get it off my chest, spoke my piece to homie over the phone, homie apologized again and explained the context for the lack of communication/lateness, came through and I ordered some fried catfish for us

I've seen this thing happen twice: once for my then-best friend's birthday dinner and one for a gathering when I was still living with my parents.

For my then-best friend's birthday, most of us were already there except for 3 of our friends who didn't bother communicating back and showed up 1.5 hours later. We all ordered but they didn't serve the food until everybody arrived, so you can only imagine how frustrated my best friend was along with me and a few other folks. Food wasn't that good either, so that made it worse.

For the second scenario, we all agreed on 7pm to hang out at my place as my friends really wanted my mom's food that she's made for them in the past. Similar situation - barely any communication until one set of friends finally show up at 8pm and the other 2 showed up at 830pm. I definitely did not hide my emotions, so it was an awkward beginning.

I find it frustrating when there's no communication. I don't mind people being late, but out of common courtesy, can one just actually reach out and give a heads-up???

I low-key got heated as I typed out my stories.

Honestly in situations like this any number of small choices at any point in time might have prevented an issue altogether.

A quick "yo xyz is going down I'm not gonna be on time" takes no time at all to send. I don't mind lateness in itself either because I'm not perfect and don't have a perfect attendance record for social situations

Sometimes it doesn't occur to people to keep other people apprised of a situation or delay even when you might expect them to.

Pull your skirt down, b. They apologized. Move on..or not. Either way, this aint internet worthy.

Man you like 48 hours late to this whole discussion chief.

Couldn't even skim enough to see it's done wit?

 

[ghenges]

Nah that's unacceptable. People have to respect your time.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Damn how do YOU end up paying for the catfish?
