    So, this happened last weekend, and now my friend group is split over whether I was justified or a total j. I have a friend, lets call her "Sarah" who is always late. I'm

    talking, "we tell her to be there at 6 knowing she'll show up at 7" kind of late. The rest of us have learned to tolerate it, but last Saturday pushed things too far. We were all going out for a friend's birthday and had rented

    texted her that we were leaving and she'd have to find her own way to meet us if she still wanted to join. Well, she showed up about 10 minutes later and was FURIOUS that we'd left. She called me selfish, said I "ditched" her, and made the entire night all about her being "abandoned."

    Now, half the friend group says I did the right thing, while the others think I was way too harsh and should've waited since I "know how she is." But it was everyone's night, not just hers, and I feel like it was fair after all

    late. Not just one of you. Not just her best friend. Not just a couple. Every. Single. One. Of. You. Just held up SOMEONE'S BIRTHDAY for this one selfish person who was NOT the first of honor. I don't know what is wrong with your friend group but that's a shocking level of disrespect to be allowed from all sides. ◇ 682 682 ○ Reply

    Malibu_Cola • 1d ago NTA. You waited long enough for Sarah, and had a specific time slot to meet. She STILL decided to be slow. She needs to learn that the world doesn't revolve around her schedule. ◇ 360 360 ○ Reply
