A couple of days ago my friend and I were planning on going to lunch. We planned this since Wednesday that we were going to lunch on Sunday. Sunday rolls around and I call my friend at 11am. She is still sleeping. Finally she calls me back an half an hour later and I remind her about our lunch date. She responds by saying she has to clean her room and wants to eat a late lunch at 3:00pm. I'm starving by then. But I tell her that is fine but, I felt a little frusterated because she ruined my day. I had to wait all day long for her to pick me up at my house.
She could of cleaned her room when she got home after lunch.
Was this rude of her?

Yes, it was rude of her.
Next time you plan to have lunch with her, call her the day before to remind her and in a humorous way remind her to clean her room ahead of time. Then call her the day of, like you did this time.
It sounds like she might be living at home with parents and her parents insisted that she clean her room before she left. Perhaps she did not know that she had to do this until that very moment. Perhaps not. Either way, it was not polite of her to keep you waiting.

Yes, that's rude! Why does she 'have to' clean her room at that time? The clutter won't run off will it, it'll be there after lunch... unless she'd just got a call at 11:15 from her mom that she'd be coming over that evening, then perhaps she has a reason to clean her room that she couldn't foresee a few days earlier. Although... even then why not eat lunch first and clean after?
Some people are just not ready to face the world in the morning & on Sundays, I'm an extreme night owl myself, but if your friend is like that she should be aware of it and make her appointments at a different time so she can keep them. But if she lacks this self-knowledge, maybe it'd be a good idea for you to see her for dinner or a movie in the evening, or lunch on a weekday when she's up and about for sure?

Ask her what his name is and tell her next time she has someone over- text you and you can rain check ;)

yes it is rude- if she knew you both had plans at a specific time, and she needed to do some cleaning, she should have called YOU and told you she needed to postpone- that is extrememly rude and you are welcome to call her on it.

Of course it is rude if she can't clean her room later for you there is no real relationship.
