I need to express this with someone because I messed up. So, I’d consider myself friends with someone at work. We were chatting on Friday and she asked me what I was doing this weekend. I told her that I was having a yard sale to which she expressed interest and said that she would stop by on Saturday. Saturday came and went and she never showed, but I didn’t think much of it. We decided to cut the yard sale short a day because we didn’t really get any traffic Friday or Saturday like we expected. She eventually stopped by on Sunday and obviously there wasn’t a yard sale like I had told her. I was not prepared for visitors even though a part of me knew she might stop by. I panicked and I didn’t answer the door. She eventually left and now I’m worried I hurt our friendship and obviously I’m dreading Monday when evidently it’ll come up in conversation. I want to be honest, but I know how pathetic the truth sounds, but another part of me would rather not lie. If you were her would you rather me tell you the truth, or should I embellish the story a little? Thank you for reading.
ETA: I’m more worried about the knocking part because in hindsight I think I should have answered and told her to wait a minute while I refreshened up or something. In my mind, she took time out of her day to visit and I should have been more respectful of that.
