Friends b-day party?

Question

A couple weeks ago I went to my friends house and she invited me to her b-day party. When she gave me the invitation she told me it was going to be on sunday. When Sunday rolled around something had come up and i called to say I couldn't make it to the party. Then she says "Oh, well my party was yesterday". Not only did she tell me the wrong date but she didn't even call to explain! Do you think this was rude? Oh and I did look at the invitation after I called her and it did say Saturday but she still shouldn't have told me the wrong date. So, am I being too harsh?

Answer 1

The answer you want to hear is, "No, you're not being too harsh, you did the right thing by getting angry at your friend over her misspeaking the name of a day of the week, she's totally in the wrong about this."

The CORRECT answer is, "Life is too goddamn short to get pissed off about something like this.  If your friend didn't want you to come, she wouldn't have invited you in the first place.  People make mistakes sometimes when they speak, so you should either learn to accept this or become a journalist and jump all over every public figure whenever they commit an error. It's not as if the correct day wasn't printed in the invitation she gave you when she invited you.  You should apologize to her

* for not reading the invitation she gave you, and

* for over-reacting after she made a small mistake telling you the day."

Also, there's a reason adults have RSVPs for things like this.  You can call, email, or text her to say you'll be at her house on such-and-such a day, and at such-and-such a time, so if there are any mistakes they get cleared up ahead of time.  Plus, all your friends will think you're uber-classy for following proper protocol when invited to engagements.

Answer 2

u should of read the invitation  -  but for her to tell u the wrong date was rele mean.  U should tell her that she is a jerk and not a good friend them do the same to her on ur birthday

Answer 3

I really think it's a Freudian slip. She doesn't care if you attended or not judging by all that has happpened if you ask me.

Answer 4

i think she did it on purpose just so u wouldn't come
