One person wrote: “No call, no show? Ma’am those ain’t your friends.”
Another one: “Where do I apply to be her friend?!”
Another friend shared the same experience hosting friends’ events, but they stopped because of their inability to put forth enough effort.
They shared: “I remember hosting Friendsgiving and Friendsmas. I stopped because I realized that the only one putting in effort was myself in everything.”
@kidalloy responded with some happier news. He said that they were able to turn the evening around, and still have fun.
He explained that his girlfriend initially thought her friends were all running late, but when it got to the three hour mark, she realised they weren’t going to show up.
Then he continued: “She had called me and told me what happened, so I started heading over to her house. On the way there I had called my friends.”
His friends were able to save the day, as they all turned out to celebrate the occasion.
He also added: “They were more than gracious enough to come. They all came, they brought stuff. So it’s like she had her own Friendsgiving. So it was a happy ending towards the end of it.”
