So I decided to spend my New Year’s Eve alone with my new boyfriend instead of with all my friends this year. 5pm that night, I tell all of them my change in plans, including you. You went ballistic; you told me we’ve partied on New Year’s together for the past few years, and I should have told you sooner! “How am I gonna make alternate plans now!” You scream to me on the phone. Excuse me, I didn’t even know myself until 2 days before. FYI, we didn’t even make set plans on New Year’s. So I didn’t tell you on the 29th-I forgot! So people are supposed to drop everything and inform you of every decision they make immediately? Why were you so panicky? You have other friends. The rest of my friends didn’t flip out. Chill! —Happy New Year’s

She won’t be ignored, OP….

You sound like a bitch OP. It seems like you had plans with this person already (you changed them last minute), and then didn’t bother to let them know about it until a couple hours before you were supposed to go out? There’s nothing wrong with wanting to spend NY alone with your boyfriend, but you knew about it a couple days before. I get that you forgot to tell her, but can’t you see how she’d be a little pissed off?
The OB is right….The world doesn’t revolve around that person….it revolves around Tommy.

You sound like a *wonderful* friend, OB.

The world doesn’t revolve around you either OP.
You made plans with your friend on the biggest night of the year. And at the last minute, you blew her off even though you knew TWO DAYS before that. That’s a prick job.
Don’t be surprised if her plans going forward are less likely to include you or your input.
Op everyone has phones … use yours to text the person right away and let them know. I would be upset with you too … because it’s um New yrs … a big night … you know, not just any other Friday … I agree with pf.
Lol zilla.
You were inconsiderate OP. Obviously your presence was important to this person and you should have let them know sooner.
you’re like the pricks who know they’re turning but hit that blinker as they are….
mind telling the rest of us when you have plans???
jerk.
Ditto what the other gals wrote … OB … based on the information you provided, what you did was not cool.
The others may not have said anything to you directly, but I’d bet they talked about it behind your back. It seems the friend you’re bitching about is probably the only one that had the balls to stand up to you and tell you that what you did was inconsiderate. If you had told her earlier and she still flipped out … then maybe I’d be saying she’s feeling a little left out and has to deal with that … but that’s not the way it went down.
It’s great that you have a new boyfriend in your life, but don’t be ‘that girl’ who is so consumed by your new man that you completely forget about everyone else who will still be in your life if/when this new guy isn’t.
Hopefully your friends will start to exclude you in their activities, so you never have to go through such a terrible phone call again.
THe world OB , revolves around my 3 year old grand daughter…& every other little kid out there as well. Simply because they don’t know any better.
If your ‘friend’ freaks out because you wanted to do something with your present lover…they need to chill out. Especially if there were no concrete plans for New Years (which is just an excuse to Party & I don’t understand why anyone needs an excuse in the first place !)
Just because you spent the last couple of New Year’s eves with this ‘friend’, doens’t mean it will never change .
I sure as hell wasn’t going to spend it with my ex wife…even if we spent 20 of them together ! For her or anyone else to expect it is BS.
“FYI, we didn’t even make set plans on New Year’s”
Hey Coasters, she’s supposed to cancel on something that doesn’t exist? What is this, Minority Report?
OB, start a Twitter account. Include the Coasters. They eat this shit up.
SET plans, Cranky — which leads me to believe there were implied plans.
I’d say OB’s friend has the right to be at least a little bit peeved because I get the feeling that she’s just an after thought now that OB’s getting some new dick.
I used to have friends like this. I dropped them because I’m not their back up when they don’t have some guy to hang off of.
I dunno, OB’s attitude just rubs me the wrong way. Spend time with your new BF on NYE, that’s cool, but have a bit more consideration for your friends — the ones who’ll likely still be there (well maybe if you stop acting like a c-unt to them) in a month when you dump the guy or he dumps you and you need someone to bitch to about how he’s a miserable piece of shit.
Sounds to me like it was a casual understand re:’plans’. Her friend ‘aint all that’ and should ‘get ova herself’. seriously. it’s new years, so fucking what. When my friends start acting junior high I distance myself as well.
Lol @ first world problems!!
Well you see, it is unclear whether or not OP had actually made plans or not. I know in my circle of friends everyone’s new years plans are made well in advance.
“5pm that night, I tell all of them my change in plans, including you.” emphasis on CHANGE in plans.
“Excuse me, I didn’t even know myself until 2 days before. FYI, we didn’t even make set plans on New Year’s.”
So did you or did you not make plans? That determines the validity of this bitch. Sounds like your friend was under the impression that you two had plans together. Maybe it was one of those scenarios where you weren’t paying attention when she mentioned it to you. Or she took your “maybe, we’ll see what happens” to mean “yes, for sure, 100%” I know that happens.
The same thing happened to me this New Years, my buddy Glenn proposed that we go to Moncton. So we (me and 2 friends) get up there and he tells us that he’s just staying in being boring with his gf (she lives just outside of Moncton) and that we’re welcome to come hang out there. We went out to a club without him, the slippery bastard. We had a hotel room right downtown, why the hell would we want to go to his gf’s house in Dieppe and sit around with our thumb up our asses?
It would have been nice to inform her at least the night before and not the night of, assumed plans or not. You would have probably been upset too OP.
“So I didn’t tell you on the 29th-I forgot! So people are supposed to drop everything and inform you of every decision they make immediately?”
I would say yes, it would be nice to inform her as soon as you made your plans, it’s called being considerate.
On the other hand, if you really didn’t make any plans with her at all then she’s kinda SET-ish to assume that you would be going and partying with her just because you have in the past.
I’m leaning towards your friend’s side.
Zilla’s right, the world does in fact revolve around me, I wish it didn’t, but you can’t argue with photo evidence.
lol @ Minority Report, the video game was awesome.
man, the only things I remember about that movie are the elevator scene…
and the cool ‘kintect’ like swiping computer thingy.
I think my only real bitch about LTWWB is how the Coasters extend what happens (or assume happens) in a non-regulars Bitch to their own lives and experiences. Take a step back.
Prolly no set plans b/c they have done the same thing several years running. I agree with the majority. You suck as a friend.
it all came down to lack of communication.
cause OB sucks at it.

You knew 2 days before New Year’s Eve and you still waited until 5PM that day to tell your friend? What a bitch. I’d be pissed too. You basically ditched him/her.
She sounds like she stepped out of her bounds and he put her back in her place.
You dumped your best friend on New Year’s. Just for that I hope your boyfriend dumps you on Valentine’s Day.
I’ll go along with the majority in the sense that she knew 48 hours in advance of the change in plans and didn’t let her friend know until seven hours before midnight. They had established a routine of going out together New Years Eve and the friend should have had prior notice as to the unexpected change. OP was too wrapped up in her new boyfriend to assess the issues regarding previous friendships and the obligations that go along with them.
That said, they are all adults and, as adults, they must conduct in an adult manner when faced with disappointment.
Op. canceling on someone at 5pm of the night of your plans is: Rude, inconsiderate, and flaky.
And, on a fairly important night like new years eve, you totally crossed the line.
No Cranky … the OP fails to provide the correct information. Don’t provide enough evidence … you go to jail. Not that we’re judge or jury in any sense … but here humans are guilty until proven innocent because humans are bloody delirious.
have no fear, the suckster is always here, to take up the slack in a ladies life.
you said yourself, you knew 2 days before but failed to call her and cancel. Way to ruin your friend’s new years. Your bitch is in a very selfish tone. You should apologize to your friend, although she’s better off without you.
