Work lunch - I have been betrayed

[Upchuck]

I agreed on Monday to go to lunch on Friday with three women I work with, it was agreed to go 'to a pub beer garden or something' to soak up the sun. I agreed, though normally i don't really do lunches with work colleagues however a pub beergarden provides a strutured environment of 1 hr and there are other things to look at.

Well, it turns out today the plan is to have a sandwich in the park. in the fucking PARK. I am furious for some reason and feel betrayed. I would not have agreed to a sandwich in the park but now I feel I can't pull out because it will look like I don't want to socialise with them.

Am being an unreasonable plank or am I entitled to be annoyed.

Also, do I have to go, or am I still free to cancel with not guilt?

 

[sojourner]

Have you actually said to them 'what happened to the plan for the beer garden?' or are you just sitting there seething silently?

 

[Kanda]

Credit Crunch innit.

 

[Badgers]

What will they be wearing?
Will sun lotion need to be applied?

 

[Kanda]

Betrayed??? lolz.. geezus!

 

[zenie]

What difference does it make whether you go to a park or a beer garden?

Get a grip!

You're furious because you're going to the park on a sunny day for lunch with three women?

Are you a bit odd or something?

 

[Badgers]

Take some cans innit

 

[Upchuck]

I did ask what happened to the beer garden but there were shrugs and I got the distinct impression they had already decided it was the park. If it was the park I'd have dressed differently and brought my sunnies. I did say to the girl I would have preferred she told me up front it was the park as I would have known what I was agreeing to and that i don't like being told later the plans have completely changed. She thought I was being unreasonable

 

[Badgers]

Go to Tesco, stock up on quiche and dips and Philleas Fogg crisps and mango juice, then sit about 10 ft away from them on your own, very nice rug

 

[Kanda]

Go to the fucking chippy and then the park. They're not picking your sarnies for you are they??

[Upchuck]

Yes, it's just me being a cockhead. I know I am being unreasonable but I just hate changes in plans and surprise.
