That's Just Rude (Pumpkin's rant of the day)

Tweet

So, I went out for a day with my little dude. I'd invited a friend to spend some time with us as I hadn't seen her for a while. I suggested going out for lunch and then said that we could go to a farm and make a day of it. She agreed to that. I asked her to let me know what time to pick her up. She then said she'd have to head straight off elsewhere after lunch because she was going to see her gf. Well, that would have been fine had she said that in the first place instead of agreeing to spend the time with us. It wouldn't even be so bad if she wasn't one of the friends who worried that I'd forget about my friends for the sake of my boyfriend. I did my best to keep in touch, and still do things with my friends. As it happens, we spent a few hours doing stuff anyway. It's not the first time this particular friend has done such a thing though. I was hanging out with her one day because she'd asked to meet me. Then she saw a group of her other friends and wanted to head off with them. She didn't because I pointed out that I'd come over to her town to spend time with her and it wasn't polite to then just abandon me. I wouldn't have minded her asking if I wanted to hang out with those friends but to just say she's basically going to abandon the friend who's made the effort to do stuff with her for the sake of a bunch of people who just happened to be in the same place, I think that's quite rude. Maybe I'm wrong and it's a young person thing. I know there are odd things she's said which made no sense to me and I wondered if they were young people ideas or if it was just her. Anyway, I think, if you've arranged to do something with someone then, unless there is a good reason, you don't change your mind about things at the last minute, especially when that person has made plans.
