So yesterday I made plans with one of my long time friends who is visiting from my hometown. We had planned that once I got off work I would meet her at the beach for a little while, very simple plan… I get off work and I meet you there at a specific agreed upon time right? Wrong. I received a text about 30 minutes before I was supposed to get off work from her saying “hey you’re gonna have to wait before coming to the beach I invited someone else and they aren’t leaving yet and there’s only one parking spot at the beach house”. Keep in mind, I live 20 miles from the beach so it’s extremely out of the way to just go home and then drive back out there when my work is only 5 minutes away from the beach. Well then when I asked her why all of a sudden the plans changed and I have to be the one to wait around she got aggressive with me and went on about how it’s not her fault there’s only one spot and that I can just go home if I’m gonna make it this complicated. So then I asked her to not get upset with me and then asked when the other friend would be leaving, she said in two hours. TWO HOURS? You want me to just hang around a city doing nothing waiting on you for two hours? So then I said okay I’ll just go home then. Well then she’s left me on read for the past 16 hours, so I know she’s pissed at me that I wouldn’t conform to her plans. I’m just really upset that such a simple plan had to be turned into her plans that I have to follow. She was going to have all day today to spend time with this other friend on the beach, all I was asking for was a little bit of her time yesterday. And I made it so simple for her, she was already going to be at the beach, she wasn’t going to have to come get me, and she could just stay out hanging out on the beach and I’d come spend a few hours with her. This isn’t the first time she’s done something like this, everytime she comes to visit she never just makes plans with me. I just get invited to tag along to whatever she decides to do. She refuses to stay at my house, she refuses to do anything with just me, and then gets upset with me when I won’t just follow her around the city like a puppy. I’m just the back burner friend that she knows she can bitch about her life problems to. So AITAH for just going home?
