It's not a huge deal, but I'm just mad at someone for a stupid reason. Long story short, I was supposed to meet my friend at a sandwich shop today at 1 but I was running late so they told me to just not come and left.
Yeah, it's wrong that I was late.
But I don't know.. I feel like telling me to just stay home when I'm about to walk out the door is a little much. I guess punctuality just isn't nearly as important to me as it is to my friend.
And the fact that she was there kind of caught me off guard. I was expecting an update saying she was on her way, not a text saying she was there. A miscommunication that's no one's fault.
I also didn't even know that she was getting her own ride there, I thought I was supposed to be picking her up. She didn't tell me she was going there independent of me. Another miscommunication.
She was mad that I was running late and I "didn't tell her", but it's not as though I did it intentionally. I fell asleep waiting for her to be done with her earlier engagement (I've been struggling a lot with energy levels lately, often sleeping until two or three in the afternoon every day no matter what time I go to bed). I texted her when I woke up and realized it was 1:15.
Also, she wanted to hang out with me until 5 but I told her that I needed to be somewhere at 3:30. She was a little disappointed/annoyed at that? I'm sorry I can't spend four hours with you to get lunch.
All in all, I understand why she's mad and it's a totally valid reason. But I feel like she completely over reacted. The lunch place is nine minutes away, and I was going to head out the door. You don't need to get angry and tell me to just stay home then. I don't feel like that's an appropriate way to deal with a friend lunch. Especially since she asked me to hang out last minute because someone ELSE canceled on her. So here I am re-arranging my schedule just to be second choice and get canceled on anyway. And I passed up on going out to brunch with my family for this.
I still shouldn't have been late, but now I have resentment towards my friend for how she responded to the situation.
