I wish people were more direct.

Was supposed to be going out for dinner tonight for my friends birthday but it was rearranged to a lunch which I couldn’t go to ‘cause I already had lunch plans today.

So...

Me: what you doing tonight?
Friend: just a quiet one.
Me: wanna do lunch tomorrow?
Friend: I take it youre busy tonight then?
Me: well, no. But you said you were having a quiet one!
Friend: I’m easy like.
Me: let’s try this again shall we. What are you doing tonight?
Friend: nothing. Want to go for a drink?
Me: perfect! What time?

Too much fannying about for my brain to be bothered with. Lol!
