Am I overreacting or are they just ********?

Well as you all know yesterday was St Paddys day, and myself and all my friends (mostly Irish so was supposed to be a big day for us) had made plans for the entire day and night, starting with watching Irelands rugby match. Thing is I slept in quite late, and when I DID wake up I find that they are not in the halls at all. So I text one of them and he says they're half way to Alton Towers!! (We're in Dundee.. Alton Towers is a looong way away) and that they wouldn't be back til tuesday!

They didn't even leave a message nevermind see if I was going!! I've never felt more betrayed! These are my so-called closest friends at uni and am sharing a flat with them next year!

They had to turn back though due to weather, and how sorry do I feel for them? not at all! Karma and a half! They got their just desserts!

What say you? How yould you feel if your so called best mates did this to you? Especially on an important day for which you had made big plans!

I had a situation of betrayal with my flatmates last year. One even still stands by the fact he did nothing wrong.

I resolved the situation by becoming very confrontational with all of them. I took the issue up with them all, one by one. It didn't make me feel too proud but I got what I wanted; an apology and they never did it again.

I'd be completely p****d off at them tbh, and they'd have a LOT of making up to do. That's if they didn't have an EXTREMELY good excuse.
I'm not sure what you can do about it except try and find out why they didn't tell you, and tell them how hurt/angry you were and how you think they should have had the decency to think of you too.
You have the right to be angry about this.

I'd say why did you leave without me? and why didn't you wake me or leave a message?

Quite funny that they never made it though. Karma indeed! :biggrin:

I would be pretty annoyed, as said above make sure you make it clear to them that you're not happy with thier behaviour..

Yeah that's just horrible what they done to you.

I wouldn't put up with that. If they were true friends they would have not forgotten to include you.

"Harsh" is the only word I can use to describe that!

Sleep earlier.

Agreed, ask them why - seriously, I think you're completely justified, I'd be very cross!

your friends might of thought u weren't comin as u didn't bother txin them instead you were sleeping. if i planned a day out and my friend slept in i would be mad as if they had really wanted to go they would of woke up! it's your fault. deal with it!

no, your friends were horrible. a text would have been normal. it's not your fault they acted like that. :s-smilie: oversleeping is a harmless mistake which they could have fixed if they'd just called you. what they did was deliberately horrible.

I would be hurt, not annoyed. :frown:

My 18th birthday was similar, I told my mates to meet me in a local pub at 8pm, my dad came down with me and was gonna pay for our drinks for the first hour. Well my best mate turned up at 8, by 9 noone else had turned up - so me and my mate decided that we were going to move on to another pub my dad gave us £40 quid to spend that night on alcohol. As we left the first pub my other "mates" decided to turn up but didn't like my plan for going on to the next pub and wanted to go somewhere different that i didn't like. I was like its my birthday the least you could do is turn up on time.
I got my revenge tho two weeks later was three of my other "mates" birthdays so when they went out i turned up an hour and a half late and they were like 'where have you been?' and i just simply said 'you did the same to me on my birthday'

Sorry for the long post.
