Dear Abby Question Centers on Late Friends and Changed Plans
A person is seeking advice from Dear Abby regarding longtime friends who arrived late for a planned dinner and overnight stay, and subsequently demanded that the hosts alter their schedule.
New York, NY, October 28, 2026 —
A person has sought advice from Dear Abby about a dispute with longtime friends over a planned dinner and overnight stay. According to the account summarized in the request, the friends arrived late and later demanded that their hosts change their schedule.
The summary does not specify how late the guests were, what schedule changes they requested or how the hosts responded. It also does not provide the people’s names, the location, the date or the reason the friends gave for arriving late. The precise plans for the dinner and overnight visit were not provided.
The issue, as described, involves expectations around an arranged visit: the hosts had planned a dinner and overnight stay, while the guests’ lateness and subsequent demand prompted the person to seek advice. The summary does not say whether the hosts had other commitments or whether the requested changes were made.
No direct quotations or response from Dear Abby are included in the information provided. It is therefore unclear what advice, if any, was offered or how the matter was resolved. The account also does not establish whether the friends’ actions were part of a broader pattern or a one-time disagreement.
Beyond the basic sequence of events, details about the exchange remain unavailable. The reported situation is limited to a person asking for guidance after longtime friends arrived late for a planned dinner and overnight stay and then asked the hosts to alter their schedule.
