I guess I also deserve a bit of explanation, as my time was also disturbed.

You are right everyone deserved an explanation. And what your friend has done to you is not really right though.But before that you have to know the reason why it happened like that there might some hindrance which you may not know about.Sometimes we can't control the situation. Anyway sometimes we need to broaden our way of understanding to make the relationship better and longer. Maybe next time try to confirm with her so no one will get disturbed at the and both will feel comfortable at the end.

Oh yeah,really bad to wait in vain especially if you supposed to have appointments to have a productive day. Maybe you have to confirm also if she's coming since you have the idea that she's very busy.

Same thing happen to me but i guess it does not affect me like you do. I woke up in the morning. My classmates send me a message that they are going to hang out in my house. They ask me again my address and said that they are on their way. Like what i have said, i jumped out out of my bed and prepare my house and food and stuffs. The only difference in our situation is that they send me a message again that they have a lecture from our professor and it was a surprise lecture. Since i already prepared, i can`t do nothing but to accept that. At least i did fix my house . But if i am in your situation, Like what you have said, you deserve an explanation. I just hope you are not mad about it. Ask and tell her what she have caused

Sure, I think you deserve an explanation too! I have a friend who does this to me all the time (and she does it to all our other friends as well). I will say she is honest and never lies about things - she always has the best of intentions - but she's just ALWAYS late! All of us friends discuss how she doesn't seem to understand that the rest of us have schedules too . . . she's not thinking of how it affects us when she's late (and it's not just 10 minutes or a half hour . . . sometimes she will be a couple hours late). Sometimes it will be because she has emergency meetings at work that take WAY longer than her estimations (maybe her estimating skills are not good - or at least she doesn't take into account that it could take longer). Other times, she will have fallen asleep and not get up at the appropriate time (she ALWAYS over sleeps). I know her explanations are true, but still, they make her seem real flakey in everyone's eyes. And for me with two little ones - it's not fair to them to make them wait - and I hate that we could have been doing something more productive than to wait around for this friend (like you, I want to make sure we are absolutely free to accommodate our guest). Sigh.

I hate when people do that. I had a boyfriend who would make plans to do something with me and then when his best friend would call last minute and says hey lets do something together. The result would be that I would stay at home crying my eyes out because he never called to tell me what was going on. Then he would get mad at me for being upset and call me a cry baby. That was what caused the breakup. Your friend does owe you an explaination because she had made you wait for her then she had the nerve to not show up.

Oh that was bad.. I know how you feel. Maybe something unexpected happen that she didn't able to notify you but for sure as a friend she will say sorry for what she did at a later time. Just understand her and give her the benefit of the doubt. Yes, next time just do your stuff and when she arrives just stop what you are doing. That way, you will avoid wasting your time for nothing.

Sometimes, things like these just happen and it really is something that wouldn't make me happy at all. I know how it feels. There are times that I too messed up somebody's schedule and I feel very sorry for that as well. For now, just try to keep yourself occupied and prepare something for later. Take this opportunity to relax or maybe re-decide on options for your plans later.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, she should explain why she did that to you. I have experienced this kind of situation and I got so disappointed about it. I had waited my friend the whole day as she promised that she will come, and the worst part was, I prepared foods just for her and her son coz she told me that she will going to have lunch here, but she didn't show up and didn't even text me and didn't even answer my calls.

Yeah you are right, she should have informed you that she won't come/ if she can't make it coz she is so busy on her work. Next time you should confirm her that if she really sure that she can come so that you can also plan for what you gonna do if she won't come. Did she say sorry for the incovenience that she caused to you?
