Does the response to my message sound rude? I messaged this person on Thu and this is the response I get?

It was a simple query that will hardly take 5 words or so to type and respond.

Doesn't seem rude to me, but obviously he/she is having a bad hair day.

@Morvoren I did not ask her. She does not share much personal stuff at work (except what she wants to). Another reason I did not ask her is cos she most probably won't share and there would the possibility of me being at the receiving end again
Morvoren · F
@solitaire Well that’s why the letter is delayed.

Perhaps she’s on another site telling people how she told you she’s having problems and you showed no interest. 🤭
solitaire · 41-45, F
@MorvorenYou did not understand. She got a no objection certificate from office and I wanted to know the process about how to procure such a letter
InHeaven · F
No, not rude. She/he could ve ignored you all together but takes time to explain the problems they are having. Rude is expecting a person to answer per your demand. Maybe she is in distress and can’t gather the mental energy for the five words. Ask someone else if you don’t want to wait for her 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

@InHeaven If I knew anyone else to ask I would have in the beginning itself 😃. She's not the person I would have approached. Lesson learnt!!

In no way is what this person said rude. Some of us are actually just holding back a giant tirade of abuse and crying. We need down time with NOONE asking anything of us. I get asked too many damn things in a day and someone asking for my help outside of work is almost always a "No."

I've killed queries like this and the fact this person even answered you shows they are doing you a courtesy.

@twistedrope Excuse me? This very same person has messaged me outside of work and I do reply. So don't lecture me about courtesy. You sound like a very disturbed individual

The person could have just responded instead of typing all that
solitaire · 41-45, F
@squishylemon Exactly. She is a work colleague I've known for 15 years. I wish I knew someone else I could ask but she's the only one I knew who had got an NOC letter from office and I wanted to know the process.
Nunki · 31-35, F
Nah. They didn't want to ignore you. I'd give them time
Beauregard · F
Sounds a bit that way, but take it a pinch of salt. But if you can find out before Saturday then you need not rely on them for the answer.
solitaire · 41-45, F
@Beauregard Do you think I should have responded to her reply? I did not reply.

@Beauregard She is in my team at work (known her for 15 years) and the funny thing is people think we are good friends.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
No it sounds fine to me
solitaire · 41-45, F
@MasterLee Hmm ok. Do you think I should have replied to her message? I did not reply or take the conversation further
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@solitaire nope
WandererTony · 56-60, M
I think it is in reaction to something you might have said.
The person could have answered in lesser words rather than decline with such a long message.
Jonjdw · 51-55, M
Did you say anything about not being in a hurry? And should be an easy question. Unless don’t remember.
solitaire · 41-45, F
@Jonjdw I did not mention anything about not being in a hurry. It was just a query and trust me both questions will hardly require 5 words
Morvoren · F
No. I think you took that too personally.
solitaire · 41-45, F
@Morvoren Hmmm. But 2 days to reply to a message? It hardly takes 5 words to type
Morvoren · F
@solitaire Are they an employee of yours?
solitaire · 41-45, F
@Morvoren No a colleague (known the person for 15 years).
KnowOne · 46-50, M
The response doesn't sound courteous and professional.
No doesn't sounds rude to me.
496sbc · 36-40, M
Nope not to me
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
Depends on your relations with that person.
solitaire · 41-45, F
@Donotfolowme She is a colleague at work. Known her for 15 years
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
@solitaire then it's totally fine, she would understand.
I hung up on my bestie but I can't do that to my boss
