    Although rude, I appreciate when people tell me outright I’m not a priority for them. So I can adjust my own.

    Who’s in the wrong here?

    Everyone in this thread who is too stupid to realize this is fake rage bait.

      As is your comment. Rage bait within rage bait. Meta rage bait. Ragebaitception. Ragebaiturducken. I see you.

    Neither one is someone I want to talk to but grey really should’ve just put the phone down and focused on that promising opportunity

      I don’t think grey actually has another “opportunity”. This feels like a negging tactic to me.

    I must be weird, or maybe it’s because I used to date someone like Grey, but the impression I got about green is not that they said that because they didn’t want to go out anyway, it was that they were glad grey revealed themselves to be uninterested in them even if it was kind of in a sleazeball way, acting like it was just fine to cancel last minute to go be with someone else.

    More like green was happy grey pretty much just sent up a red flag and confirmed that they dodged a bullet.

      Was that not the point we were supposed to take away from this?!

      Love your chicken, by the way.

    Grey didn’t value Green’s time, even stated someone better came along. Green responded with shade in response for this lack of respect, Grey had a crash out because her lesser choice had teeth.

    I don’t get why people are confused about this.

    Grey was horrible human being first. Green’s reply was a response that horribleness. It’s not like green was genuinely waiting to spring that.

    …probably.

    Greens response could’ve meant (s)he had a busy day at work and was glad to put their feet up. The bluntness met have been unintended.

    Grey then exploded and made it a problem, showing that green actually dodged a bullet.

      Counterpoint: Grey’s responses take a solid 30 mins. Green does not bother to clarify what they meant that entire time.

      Did green go overboard? Yes. Could grey have communicated at all? Also Yes.

        Youre blaming them for not responding for 30min? Im happy when people reply the same day, same goes for me. And Im glad people arent so obsessed with their phones that theyre constantly available.

    I hate people now. Nobody wants to keep their commitments. You can invite people to an event and they will all say yes, until a more enticing thing comes along and the flake on you last minute. If you say yes, be there, tell the other person “sorry I already made plans that day” like an adult

    The one who flaked, and then said that there were better options. I’d respond just like the one who luckily got away.

    “Hey, I’m so sorry to do this, but, something came up”.
