My friend had told me to keep a certain day clear and that she would be planning stuff for us to do. Last week she told me that she had a dinner to go to the night before our day out. Then the day before we were meant to meet she cancelled saying she was ill, then forgot to hide her story showing that she went to the party.

So I messaged a few of my other friends and asked them to meet up with me on that day. We planned a day out, doing an experience thing that my childhood friend wanted to do as one of the girls had a discount voucher.

    Font - I had a great time, a really good day. People started posting pictures online and my friend called me asking me why I didn't tell her my plans for the day and I replied "but you're ill?" She started saying she got better and then I said "you'll still be tired from last night though, it's ok we will go out another time". She got embarrassed and hung up, but send a message saying I was rude for not inviting her.

    Font - Might not be in line with the other petty revenges here, but sometimes the best payback is enjoying life. TL;DR friend cancelled plans with me for my birthday because she was ill, but then ended up going to a party that night. I arranged a day out with other friends, doing an activity this friend wanted to do. When she found out she was upset but I told her she wasn't invited because she was too ill and must be tired from last night.

    Font - roseydaisydandy. 18 hr. ago What's rude is inviting a "sick person" out for fun after you've been told they were sick. Had she really been ill, she would've thought you were an Start slowly distancing yourself from her bullshit cause I'm sure this was one of many things that made you snap for doing so. 506 Reply Share

    Font - IMO a friend would have called and said they found out the party was going to run later than originally thought and she would likely not be at her best the following day. That being the case would like to reschedule. Yes a bit disappointing but understandable. You going ahead and having a great day instead of sitting home maybe mopping along with letting your acquaintance know she missed out as who bothers someone who is sick? 106 Reply Share

    Font - Kalyndria 18 hr. ago It's the small things that count only thing you could have done better (maybe) is right after her message of you being rude not to invite her is sending a message back, prefferably with a photo of her at the party, saying the only one rude here is you

    Font - EggplantIll4927. 17 hr. ago You are right, I didn't invite you on purpose since you ditched me because of your party the night before. And I saved the day and chose to enjoy it instead of mooing w nothing to do. So yup, I was rude in response to your canceling on me and lying about why. Your turn
