Unreliable friends

[Urchin]

My friends are all perfectly reliable except one. I spoke to her yesterday and SHE suggest we go a a play centre today and asked me to ring her this morning to organise it.
There's been no answer all morning, and now it's too late to do anything as I have the school run at 3.
I wouldn't mind so much but she does it all the bloody time! I put Brody down for his nap early today to make sure he was all ready for about 12 and she hasn't even bothered texting me to say she can't make it.

Has anyone else got friends like this? it pees me off cos if I say I'm going to do something I ALWAYS do and I'm never late or anything. [/rant]

My best friends isnt really un-reliable but ALWAYS late!!

She was round for dinner last night and it's that bad that my hubby asked when dinner was when he came home from work and when I said when Laura arrives his exact words were "Laura.... but she's always bl**dy late!"

I even joke to her that I had a different time on her wedding invite (she was chief b/maid) to make sure she'd be there on time!!

most of my friends are like this hun

me and B tend to do things alone now

Been there in the past, everso annoying since I'm one of those hour early instead of 2 minutes late type of people. I get fed up with people like that if I'm honest, several friendships have fizzled out for that kinda reason, I can't stand being let down constantly like that. It's not a nice feeling.

Has anyone else got friends like this? [/rant]

Not anymore lol!

I used to have a friend who would arrange to come over on a saturday so id make sure OH took the car to work so I could have a couple glasses of wine without having to pick him up, and then she just wouldnt turn up without letting me know she couldnt make it. Id be stuck indoors all day with no car and nothing to do.

Eventually the contact petered out and I thought well if she cant be arsed than neither can I!

It drives me mad when people do this, I am like you - never late myself, always let people know in good time if plans change and I feel insulted when people dont show the same common courtesy!

 

[nathanmum]

i hate it, its bad enough when they let you know but when they dont and your expecting them well....

 

[Melly+2]

my friend never come to visit me she always expects me to walk down to hers, i have a baby to bring out, in the cold for fs it annoys me to death, she so lazy

 

[nathanmum]

thats like my mum i always have to go and visit her it winds me up.

 

[Robyn_]

one of my friends was exactly the same.
all the time
i got so annoyed with it.

it was different when she wanted something though
always was.

 

[Melly+2]

i wouldnt mind but its freezing cold outside and i have to walk withn hope down a humungus hill, it f***s me off big style

 

[nicki]

My friends are always late, two inparticular. we always say half hour earlier to her so then she'll be on time
Another friend always lets me down (infact they have all done that lately!) and its often me making the effort to arrange things etc. drives me mad.

 

[marchmama]

i dont have that problem i have no friends LOL

 

[Flossy82]

I have cut all ties with my friends now they only ever want to know when they are after something well u could put it like use and abuse you but then thats them all over im afraid so now its just me and the family even where i live is full of nomads and weirdo's they are all freeks

 

[SarahB]

I have a friend who never shows up when she says she will - really annoying, and she always has the same excuse, like I never heard it before

 

[cassi]

I have a friend who is always late, completely reliable but always late, but tbh thats just the way he is and I dont really mind, when he says he will be over at say half 7 I just add an hour on lol...He is a really good friend and does a lot for us so i dont mind

Like yesterday I went over to his new apartment to help him paint and he had to go and pick up some bits for people from bristol so I said Id stay and paint and he wasnt back till about half 11 but im just used to him being like that lol

 

[mummykay]

my 2best mates are never late and if they are then they ring me to let me know whichs always nice
i have got a mate who is late bless her so we always say an hour or so before hand so she gets there on time, ish anyway lol

 

[claire81]

Yep i've got a friend just like her!! Always arranges to come over and then cancels at the last minute, and i mean last minute! So its always me who goes over to hers all the time which annoys me.

 

[pip]

One of my 'closest' mates rang me up the night before my wedding and said she couldn't attend because she had to work....i always ran my arse off for her too, always there when boyfriends let her down or when she had no one better to go out with...if she was with her more popular mates she would always try and talk down to me.
After the wedding fiasco i severed all ties with her...who needs friends like her!

Another one will never put herself out for anyone, and makes up really feeble weak excuses as to why she can't do something...it's always 'i'm reeling run down...or i've had a long week i can't make it' it really pisses me off so i rarely bother with her anymmore either.

 

[Tasha20]

I havnt got a single friend like it because I got rid of them I don't class people like that as friends, lifes to short for all the messing about and I hate waiting around for anyone.

Its best to leave the stragglers behind.

All the friends I have got all have a purpose, one I can speak to about different things, or one ill do more things with, I know they will drop anything if I was in trouble and if we planned to do something id have notice if they couldnt make it or we would go, no doubt about that

 

[Alfiesmummy]

YEP! I have a friend who not only cancels things or says they will do something and dont but who takes and takes and takes and heres no gratitude there. I should really say no to alot of the things they ask, but i dont so i cant really moan about it.
