NSOR: Would this annoy you?

[Deleted]

My best friend asks if we can hang out tonight and if I can help him with a work project. I say sure and ask him if he wants me to make him dinner (due to the time he's coming over, and it's pretty common for us to feed each other). He says yes. I come home and make more food than I normally would and obviously don't end up making plans with other friends for the evening.

He texts me from the gym that he's sick and not going to come over.
So half an hour later he texts me that he's still WORKING OUT. I text him "Ummm so you're too sick to hang out with me, but working out is cool. Whatever." Now I'm PISSED. I make you dinner, agree to help you with a project and you're TOO SICK, but can still work out. WTF? Am I overreacting?

NO you are not overreacting. If he is sick he shouldn't be infesting everyone else at the Gym! And after all the work and plans you skipped to make time for him and HIS project. You have a right to be mad here. Just turn your phine off and dont let it ruin your night!!

Okay thanks! I was like maybe I'm being a total bitch here. He keeps texting me I'm just ignoring him. My feelings are really hurt.

I'd be pissed. Did he respond to your last text?

At least you have leftovers for lunch tomorrow?

I'd wait until I calmed down (not saying you aren't) and then tell him "not cool" tomorrow and wait for him to explain/apologize. Is this typical of him?

Oh yea I'm not engaging with him. It's not really typical but he is really selfish sometimes. But now he's making ridiculous excuses like "But I have to work out so I look hot at halloween!"

WTF?

True! I like the bright side here:) And yes he keeps texting me telling me he has no choice but to workout because he wants to look hot for a Halloween party. For the record he's now been at the gym for almost 2 hours.

It's definitely crappy, and I'd be annoyed, but I'd probably roll my eyes and then be over it.

[jojoandleo]

I hate being blown off more than anything. I would just leave it alone, but I'd have a back up plan the next time I made plans with him.

[prettyinpearls]

Oh yeah, I'd be annoyed.

[marigoldgirl]

That extra hour at he gym is so going to make a difference in his Halloween costume. I would be mad. He should have told you before you cooked.

[bullygirl979]

Hell, yes. He is definitely showing what his priorities are.

I have a huge problem with making food for people only to have them not eat it, not come to the table after being called five plus times (my dad and brother do this) or when they are generally inconsiderate and lame like your friend. I think your anger is warranted.
